To make things easy on players who may find it difficult to come up with a plot for a scene, we've put together this plot generator. Plots generated currently are broken up into three types of scenes; the ''single scene plot'' which should be able to be completed in a single sitting, the ''small story line'' which is intended to go on for several small scenes, and the ''epic tiny plot'' which is a larger multi-scene story arc. Of course these are just here as a suggested guide so feel free to make changes as you see fit. If you would like to help contribute to the random plot generator, please see the [[#Variables List|Variables List]] near the bottom of the page.

The Random Plot Generator is a method of randomly creating a scene guide for players.

Random Plot Generator

To make things easy on players who may find it difficult to come up with a plot for a scene, we've put together this plot generator. Plots generated currently are broken up into three types of scenes; the single scene plot which should be able to be completed in a single sitting, the small story line which is intended to go on for several small scenes, and the epic tiny plot which is a larger multi-scene story arc. Of course these are just here as a suggested guide so feel free to make changes as you see fit. If you would like to help contribute to the random plot generator, please see the Variables List near the bottom of the page.

Refresh the page for a new scenario!
Town at Night.jpg

Single Scene Plot

While traveling to Happy's Eight Treasures, the team get into an argument with someone on the internet. While investigating, they meet a former UR waitress. The problem, the team soon learn, is that puppies suddenly appear everywhere. All the evidence points to an old homeless man. To resolve the problem, the team must return a lost item.


Small Storyline

The team have been asked to journey to Happy's Eight Treasures. There, they discover evidence that puppies suddenly appear everywhere. Conferring with a former UR waitress, the team learn that responsibility may lie with an old homeless man. Traveling to Eat or Die, the team have the opportunity to tackle the problem head-on.

But, the situation is complicated by a man-eating shape-shifter.


Epic Tiny Plot

En route to Happy's Eight Treasures, the team get into an argument with someone on the internet.

As they look into the situation, the team discover that puppies suddenly appear everywhere.

There is some evidence that an old homeless man is involved.

The team is still investigating when a traffic accident blocks the path.

To succeed, the team may need to enlist the help of a waitress.

Please keep in mind that concepts presented in the plot generator may conflict with specifics of our rules page. Do not try to claim that a scenario is acceptable because you read it off this page. Remember to use your better judgement in scenes.
