Mythic Game Master Emulator

I used the Game Master Emulator product to introduce my middle schoole-age nephew to role-playing. Since only the two of us were playing, we needed a way to allow both of us to play characters, with little to no GMing. The attempt was a success. The story arc and some NPC responses were generated by the GM Emulator, and the mechanics were handled by our games of choice: D&D 4e. Based on my 25+ years as a gamer, I can say that this utility would integrate well with most RPGs, with the best results likely coming from games that depend on a strong plot line with unexpected (but logical) twists, such as Storylteller or Cthulhu. It should be noted that this product does not replace knowledge or experience required for any other game rules you are using. Someone still needs to decide the likely tactics for the opponents, based on the knowledge of the opponents' capabilities, and then resolve the action (i.e. roll the dice on their behalf). In an experienced group, players can take turns. In our group (my nephew and I), I played that role, and it went smoothly.

Since the future of gaming is digital, I would like to encourage the product designers to consider a software-based approach, either generating your own product or selling the rights to your ideas. I also have to say that at $6.95, this may be the best value in a product I have seen in 25+ years of gaming.
