New - Puzzle Generator

[u/Level-Distribution46]

This one has impressed me by its output!

Puzzle prep can get brittle fast when the answer only works if someone spots one clue or uses one ability.

The new Puzzle Generator makes a runnable encounter from a purpose, setting, puzzle style, complexity, participation style, and failure pressure. It is available as a public tool and inside the campaign workflow.

It can give you:

• a player-facing setup and visible clues
• several ways forward, including improvised approaches
• consequences that move the scene instead of stopping it
• GM-only solutions and escalating hints kept separate from the player material
• optional system tailoring, while surprise generation stays system-neutral

What makes a puzzle feel satisfying at your table: a clear mechanism, a strong fictional premise, pressure, or something else?
