About

Welcome to JVHouse, my small little blog. In here you will find a bunch of ideas that come across my mind in the world of Tabletop Roleplaying Games by yourself, in solo play: storytelling, game mastering advice, inspiration for stories, as well as tools and software for enhancing your experience and productivity.

Welcome to JeansenVaar’s Fiction House!

Who is this blog targeted to?

  • Mainly Solo Tabletop RPG Players
  • Creative writers and storytellers

Who am I?

My fictional nickname is JeansenVaars. I am a Software Engineer during the day, and a tabletop roleplaying games enthusiast later. Finding ways to improve my creativity and general roleplaying games experience moves me forward.

During the pandemics, and because I moved abroad, I picked up interest in playing Roleplaying Games by myself. Started with Mythic GM Emulator first, later I created the Plot Unfolding Machine to be able to do that my way In that journey, I also developed software for playing it digitally and more conveniently. Sharing my creations with others is a huge inspiration and motivation for me too, both my tools as well as my games (actual plays).

What are my tools?

At first, I developed many Foundry VTT modules, originally for my own games, but later shared them, since I love the concept of Open Source Software. Some of my modules, like Minimal UI and Window Controls, exceeded 20,000 downloads on certain releases, that is quite a lot more than expected!

For the Solo RPGs universe I have developed Mythic GME Tools, a module for Foundry VTT that automates all oracles of the Mythic series, by Word Mill Games. Wonderful!

Then, I created a plugin for espanso (a software to type and call scripts from your keyboard into your favorite text writer) called Play by the Writing. This plugin will allow you to roll dice, oracles, and random tables, from anywhere in your computer.

Now, I developed an entirely new app dedicated for Solo RPGs: PUM Companion. With it, you can play the Plot Unfolding Machine, essentially any tabletop RPGs by yourself, with an app, digitally, and very easily.

How can you reach out to me?
