Oracle

An RPG Oracle is to a tool or system designed to generate narrative elements, plot twists, decisions, or outcomes in a game.

Oracles are particularly useful in solo RPG play or in situations where a game master is not available to guide the story. They can also assist GMs in creating more dynamic and unpredictable game environments.

These tools vary in complexity and application, ranging from simple random tables or card draws that suggest events or encounters, to more sophisticated software that can generate complex story arcs or character motivations. They often rely on a combination of randomness and predefined elements to inspire or dictate the direction of the game.

Oracles can be found in various formats, including physical books, cards, and digital applications.
