SFRPG GM Emulator Kit

This kit was made for Simple Fantasy RPG, but can be used for any fantasy game system.

What is a GM Emulator?

The GM Emulator is a tool used by solo rpg players in order to simulate decisions made by a Game Master.  This tool helps with creating randomness in solo games or can be used as an assistant in group play. The emulator does not replace a GM, as a bit of the user's creativity is required to make full use of the tool, but it helps the user create surprises with proper use.

What should I expect before downloading?

The GM emulator is based off of the Oracle system. It uses 6 sided dice to answer Yes/No questions with an added "and/but" element. Optional tables are included for when you need to specify the "and/but" element.

The Party Emulator includes additional options on character creation that will help in defining your PCs, making it easier to roleplay as them.

The generators and emulators in this kit, including the gm emulator, use d6s for all random tables.

The Tarot booklets offer ways to use tarot cards as a GM emulator. The booklets provide 3 methods to read the cards, several spreads based around different subjects you need generating (such as towns, NPCs, adventures, and objects) as well as the layouts for popular tarot spreads that could be used in your games. It does not include the meanings of each tarot card or the symbols within them.

Why do the rules come in separate booklets/zines?

It was made this way to make it more accessible. Separate books will make it quicker and easier to find specific rules during play and the small size will take up less space at your table and make it easier for travel. The provided print files can be printed on US Letter paper. Setting up the booklets can be a bit difficult at first. The tutorial provided here is recommended if you never made a 16-page zine before.
