PUM v7 Revision 7 Released - "Double Seven"

Dear all PUM players,
Super happy to have so much good feedback and even some actual plays from the community.

For revision 7, I have made some important tuning and additions, after several sessions played, I am sure it is worth it:

  • Added two full instruction pages:
    • The Oracles: Explains all oracles and how to use them, plus some advice
    • The Permissions: Full set of optional rules to improve your narrative experience (advanced PUM players). These authorize you certain re-rolls or narrative permissions that break the default rules in favor of the narrative
    • Revisited instruction page "The game" to explain a bit better (hopefully) how the flow of PUM works
  • Oracle changes to position PUM stronger in plot unfolding aspects:
    • The oracle "Object" has been replaced with an oracle called "Reason (why)" for plot character's justifications!
    • The oracle "Ability" has been replaced with an oracle called "Explain (how)" for figuring out plot circumstances!

To reduce re-printing: Print only the oracle sheet which contains the new oracles. The instruction pages, you can take a look and decide for yourselves whether you find them useful to justify printing them too :)

Remember you can play PUM v7 with Play by the Writing

All in all, I am feeling very satisfied with PUM, and the new permissions only empower the plot unfolding process!

Cheers and merry Christmas,

JeansenVaars
