Voyage (v2.0)
Links:
Based on Voyage, I tried to improve the roleplaying experience by introducing cause-and-effect.
- Bind GM to assistant role instead of "you" to prevent talking as User
- Consolidated NPC / Location / Scenario generation
- Improved tag-based generation (uses cause-and-effect)
- Improved PbtA Core skill check triggering
- Use scenarios instead of events, with clear definition
- Improved writing instructions to reduce slop (staccato overuse, "not x but y")

It might work with Gemma4-12B-IT QAT, Gemma4-26B-A4B-IT QAT and other non-Gemma4 models.
Voyage (v1.0)
Links:
Based on Moonlight, I turned it into a Powered by the Apocalypse (PbtA) "lite" experience. The idea here is PbtA systems have high-quality prose and a really simple yet effective decision-making framework. By just using it's core, Gemma4 is already writing much better interactions and dialogue.
- Added GM notes functionality
- Added tracking notes
- Added a tag system (akin to Dungeon World's tags and Pathfinder 2e's traits)
- Improved NPC creation (now using tag system)
- Improved location creation (now using tag system)
- Improved writing instructions edge-cases
- Improved model affirmations
- Streamlined naming rules
- Removed Chain-of-Thought (Gemma does it much better by default)
Tested with Bartowski's Gemma4-31B-IT Q6_K_L, 32K Q8_0 context. Model download: link
It might work with Gemma4-12B, Gemma4-26B-A4B and other non-Gemma4 models.
Moonlight (v1.0)
Links:
A simple chat preset which helps improve Gemma 4 31B's prose and adds randomization to swipes.
