Plot Unfolding Machine V6 Released! – Jeansen Vaars' Fiction House

The Plot Unfolding Machine (PUM) is a one-pager GM Emulator that helps you come up with scene proposals, challenges and stakes for your PCs to fight for. What stands between your characters and their goals? Who is opposing them, and how? What happens next?. These are questions PUM tries to help answer, moving your game forward.

By placing conflict at the center of the adventure, you’ll find your characters having to fight for their goals, world building, and your RPG system to actually matter. PUM’s main goal is to bring Solo RPG players back to the player side, lowering the GM authorship effort on the game content.
