What it is about
The Scene Unfolding Machine (SUM) is a supplement of random tables to get ideas during your roleplaying games. It has been created for solo or GM-less play in mind, but you can use it as a way to improvise content as you play. Its focus lies on Scene content, and NPC interaction and personalities . It gives you innumerable combinations of character behavior, personalities, first impression and even dialogue prompts. On top of that, it includes elements of surprise, reactions , and ways to open up new scenes. SUM is a must-have resource to expand your Solo RPG setup by giving your Scenes and NPCs a lot more of depth, particularly when you run out of ideas! It expands any solo system, working best with my other supplements: PUM and GUM. Now available!
