What does NPC Saw That Generator create?

Prepare one identified NPC’s immediate response to an action the player has already completed. Keep observation, interpretation and truth separate: what caught their attention, what they noticed and missed, what they believe happened and how confident they are. Add emotion, a visible tell, immediate behaviour, possible relationship pressure, an optional memory anchor, escalation limit, read-aloud and private continuity.

How do witness and interpretation choices work?

Choose from ten kinds of witness and ten interpretation families, then set the tone. Start with the completed action, NPC identity, relationship and location. Add seriousness and apparent intention, then review the position and attention that ground what this witness could notice.

How can I shape a deeper response?

Add the NPC’s role, temperament, history and current goal. Describe position, attention, senses, assumptions and prior knowledge. Set local expectations, risks, authority, other witnesses and time pressure, then decide how openly they react and how strongly they might remember the event.

Can I revise and keep a response?

Edit the response, lock useful sections, regenerate selected parts and undo changes. Revisit recent results during the current session. Export any response you want to keep after closing the generator; an optional memory is a planning suggestion, not a guaranteed future event.

What can I copy, download or print?

Copy the complete Dungeon Master version, player-facing view, read-aloud or selected sections. Download the response as JSON or print the current audience-safe version. Select and review audience material before sharing, keeping private continuity in your DM preparation. The witness knows only what they could perceive; future callbacks, crowd reactions and game-rule effects remain for your table to decide.
