	You don't need special tool for that. You have [[Vignettes\| '''Vignettes''']] which allows you to create narrative and story with options to select. You can prepare some vignettes upfront if you know what will happen with your party, and select appropriate upon players choice, but since players are not bounded to choices available in vignettes - they can ask game master by voice whatever they need - you never will be able to cover ALL possibilities. Knowing this be ready to improvise and create vignettes on the fly.		You don't need special tool for that.
