Quick answers
What Did We Just Start in plain language.
Understand growth, signs, saved versions and player choice.
What does the generator create?
Follow one small action through four paced stages of growth, with involved people, an open question, three visible signs and three ways the party can steer an optional story thread.
What can start the thread?
Start with a kindness, joke, purchase, remark, rescue, small theft, insult or casual promise. Choose the scale and pace from local talk to a campaign-defining thread.
What can the action become?
A movement, feud, legend, business, following, investigation or crisis. Develop it through four paced stages, with involved people, an open question, three visible signs and three ways to steer it.
How do Quick and Deep differ?
Quick uses the action, kind, scale and pace. Deep chooses what it becomes and who gets involved, names the actor, and adds things to avoid and private context.
Can I revise, save and export a thread?
Lock, change and edit individual sections; save versions and reopen the action, stages, people, signs, question, steering routes and future hook intact. Copy, download or print the full Dungeon Master or player-safe view. The possible ending remains private.
Does it force a campaign plot?
No. The developing thread stays optional. Players decide whether to encourage, redirect or leave it alone. It does not automatically change the campaign, start or change combat, or send anything to Combat Pro. Open it from Generators in Desktop Command Centre and review current account access.
