What does the generator create?

Follow one unexplained object in the party’s possession from a first clue to its hidden origin, interested people, stakes and open choices.

Which objects and origins can I choose?

A note, key, weapon, pouch of coins, strange device, piece of clothing, map or portrait. Origins include a secret admirer, panicked thief, simple mix-up, stray magic, the future, the past, an enemy’s plan or an origin nobody may ever prove.

What is included in the mystery?

Party, place, scale and tone; unexplained object, first clue, true origin, interested people, stakes, open choices, table guidance, two story hooks, practical tips and private note. Six scales run from trivial oddity to a mystery that could change the realm.

How do Quick and Deep differ?

Quick names the party, using the first two named adventurers, where they noticed the object, scale and tone. Deep chooses the object and true origin, then adds a party detail, things to avoid and private context.

Can I revise, save and share a find?

Save and revise the mystery, keeping favourite details while replacing others. Reopen party, place, object, clue, origin, people, stakes, choices and story hooks intact. Copy, download or print the full Dungeon Master version or player-facing brief; true origin, private note and private context stay with the Dungeon Master.

Does the object apply rules or decide what players believe?

No. Players decide what they believe, reveal, return, hide, investigate or use. It does not start or change combat, assign magic-item rules or penalties, and sends nothing to Combat Pro. Open it from Generators in Desktop Command Centre and review current account access.
