THE SHORT VERSION
Step 1: Download the Inspiration Pad Pro program in their creators homepage and install it.
Step 2: Download the generators file and unrar it in the Inspiration Pad Pro folder, keeping the folder structure of the former.
Step 3: Run Inspiration Pad Pro.
Step 4: Look for all those generators in the VISORPG-Z folder, click on any one of them and start messing around.
Step 5: ???
Step 6: Sorry, no "profits" to be expected. Try with NFTs: I have heard that's a booming and safe way of earning loads of cash <SNORT>.
THE NOT-SO-SHORT VERSION
VISORPG-Z Tools is a bunch of generators (technically, "tables") for the Inspiration Pad Pro (IPP) software that lets you randomize...well, plenty of things related to that system. Both from a gameplay but also from a content-creation point of view.
This way, in the Rar file you can find tables to ask most of the Oracles available for that system, but also a digital way to roll for some result in any of the game tables. Okay, maybe some of them have been left off, but that would just be a) an oversight, or b) a case of a table that uses some mechanics that I don't know how translate into the IPP format.
But, also, you'll find a heap of generators for the specific game templates in the core VISORPG-Z book (plus that one that was uploaded as an add-on). If the content mentioned in the previous paragraph can be seen as "RAW game content", here you'll find plenty of random stuff that has been added just for the sake of it. Most of times, you can add the adjectives 'useless' and 'weird' to that 'random' one...but I hope you would also add the 'fun' and 'evocative' ones, once in a while.
Now, VISORPG-Z isn't a stat-less RPG, but it's clearly a light-stated RPG...so if you just ignore the mechanical bits, you may find plenty of inspiration in these tools for other systems...being them solo or non-solo. Heck, here there's a conversion guide for the number-crunchy stuff: for Stats, +2 = Very good, +1 = Good, and +0 = Mediocre; for Attitude, +2 = Very friendly, +1 = Friendly, +0 = Neutral, -1 = Unfriendly, -2 = Very unfriendly. And...I think that's all. If I remember anything more, I'll add it here later!
THE ABSOLUTELY-NOT-SHORT VERSION
That would be the Guide PDF, a few pages long. And redirecting you to it, paradoxically, makes this entry in this page the shortest of all. Go figure.
THE "SHOW, DON'T TELL" SECTION
You just want to see the generators in action before trying anything? Here there're some examples of things that can be created with them, in ascending order of complexity. Typos and all, mind you, because there's surely still plenty of things to polish off!
