This is a fanmade tool to get inspired. It is meant as an inspiration for role playing gamers or authors to create story arcs. When pushing the button, you get six icons that symbolise six different aspects of the story:

• Location: Where does the story happen or where does it lead to?
• Goal: What is it that the protagonists try to achieve?
• Obstacle: What has to be overcome to achieve the goal?
• Risk: What terrible thing will happen if the protagonists fail?
• Treat: What positive thing can be obtained if the characters are lucky or plan well?
• BAM!: The BAM! is something unexpected, meant to make the story interesting. A twist or a special scene.

For creating characters the icons can mean this:

• Profession: What is it that the character does? What is his or her expertise?
• Goal: What goal does the character pursue?
• Love: What is it that the character loves or wants to protect?
• Fear: What weakness does the character have? What is it that the character wants to avoid?
• Schtick: Something that makes the character recognizable. Something they always say or do.
• Secret: What does the character hide? A twist, something that surprises people if the know.

You may configure the Story Constructor by adding or leaving out certain genre-specific icons. These configurations will affect your next randomisation. There will always be a "basic" stock of icons, that can not be left out.

Icons my be swapped by clicking.

A double click will reroll that specific item. This will always have a chance for a double, regardless of the configuration.

Klicking on the padlock icon will open locking mode. In this mode klicking on any other icon will lock it in place. Any reroll will not affect locked icons. Locked icons will always have a chance for a double, regardless of the configuration.

Icons are taken from game-icons.net. Thanks, folks! You are the best!
