The Chaos Oracle | React To Wins & Wounds

The Chaos Oracle is watching!

Need some inspiration juice during your game? As your game session plays out, tally the Wins and Wounds of the character(s). Then call the Oracle at any point you want a narrative spark. The Oracle will delve into how the session's unfurling, and will react to that, firing out well-tuned pulses of inspiration

So when luck's with the character(s), the Oracle reflects that. When it's not, it reflects that too. Use what it gives you to ramp up tension if things are getting dicey, or to reward the character(s) if momentum's on their side. It's just another spark for your imagination!

Here's how to use The Chaos Oracle:

1. Each time something goes well for the character(s), tap + on Wins. Loot found. A fight won. A close call that went the way of the character(s). Anything that counts as fortune on their side.
2. Each time something goes badly, tap + on Wounds. Damage taken. A plan that fell apart. Resources burned. A roll that stung.
3. The ever-precarious Session State shifts based on the balance between the two. Keep an eye on it.
4. Hit Call the Oracle at any point you want a nudge. Between watches, before a big scene, whenever you feel the session needs a jolt.
5. Every Oracle call is logged below so you can weave the threads if you want to.
6. Hit Export PDF at the end of the session to save your pulse log to your device.

Give it a whirl, and get in touch if you've any questions or suggestions. (...oh, and it only works on light mode, so feel free to hit the toggle if it's dark in here!)
