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")

Tested with Unsloth's Gemma4-31B-IT QAT Q4_K_XL, MTP enabled, 32K BF16 context. Model download: link

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.

It might work with Gemma4-26B-A4B and other non-Gemma4 models.
