Dice rolled GM - Oracle systems


Advice and Rules Questions


So I am currently running a Tabletop RPG club for my school kids and I want to know what experience people have with using Oracle systems for the GM. This would let me have multiple games running, with me just giving advice to the students and helping them with good guiding questions to decipher the dice roll on the tables.

I've made a couple tables for them to roll on so far myself, but I know there are some good pre-built Oracle systems for those who do solo-rpgs. That said, I've never run any myself and have no idea which ones are best when it's a group, not solo. My googlefu is usually pretty good, but I get strange results when I try to find information. Anyone have suggestions, starting points, etc. I'm up to buying pdfs if I need too to have the students use. (I'm teaching in China in an international school, so physical books are a no go.)


Also, as a side note, I do NOT want to have them try to run a game using AI. I have yet to find an AI that actually knows PF2E rules, it usually creates a lie or made up rule/feature.


What's Oracle systems for the GM?

It's a system that came out of the solo rpg tabletop world. The idea is you have a list of charts and random rolling tables that you use to determine the events of a story, with you the player (or player if there is multiple players) interpreting the results of the roll on the table. Simple ones use 1d6, but there are others.

Trevor Devall has a good YouTube set of videos on his own campaign using the system. https://www.memyselfanddie.com/

I'm just looking to see if anyone has experience with the many different versions out there for the Oracle/DM. Alot of people use AI for this now, but I'm not comfortable going that direction atm.
