05 / An encounter brief

Encounter Generator

Put a little weather in the way.

Shape one living situation for the table: something to notice, a reason to act, and enough loose thread to make the next decision interesting.

The encounter desk

Local only

Open a situation worth interrupting.

Every result is one connected brief: the scene, its pressure, the people inside it, and what changes when the party touches the thread.

Made for the quick glance.

No accounts, rules system, or AI calls. Saved encounters live on this device only.

Ready when the road takes an unexpected turn.
