It produces interesting answers and rich results without complex charts to reference. A player facing system where only players roll, with NPCs and circumstances having consequences for player character failure.

Tuned for solo roleplaying! BLEEP includes story and character engines to provide a complete GM-ulator experience. It also provides modules for story plotting mysteries, handling story momentum, and introducing twists and turns. NPCs are quick to generate and obvious to run, but are additionally supported by a character engine to add uncertainty to their responses.
