The Oracle
The Oracle is a tool for storytelling. Use it to replace the Game Master (GM) in a role-playing game, for solo play, or to facilitate fiction writing. All you need is 3 six-sided dice (a pair in one color and a single in a contrasting color) and the rules booklet to play. The Oracle clearly owes a debt of inspiration to the Mythic GM Emulator, by Tana Pigeon. For my use, Mythic was too complex, so I went about making something similar and much simpler for my own purposes. None of Tana's text was used and the odds, dice, terms, etc. are all somewhat different.  However the results in the events table are pretty similar, as is the overall concept of how the oracle table works. So, credit where credit is due.
