Make wonder usable at the table

Give the impossible a shape.

Prepare a place or event the party can investigate.

A first impression

Read appearance, sensory signs and a visible boundary. Decide what the party notices before choosing how the phenomenon affects play.

Altered laws

Review time, gravity, magic and supernatural environmental effects. The dossier provides descriptions for your adjudication.

Warnings and opportunity

Read hazards with warning and avoidance suggestions, inhabitants, landmarks, portal hints and resources. Check that they fit your chosen brief.

Resolution and escape

Review progression stages, countermeasures, hidden causes and ways out. You decide when events advance and what a successful attempt requires.

Shape the expedition

Choose what makes the crossing unusual.

Companions arrange floating islands, portals and storm miniatures. This illustration suggests preparation; the product supplies structured descriptions rather than these models.

Set a brief, generate the dossier and review the connections. Save your chosen result before exploring another variation.

From brief to reviewed phenomenon

Choose. Generate. Inspect. Save.

Prepare the next extraordinary place deliberately.

01 · Choose the brief

Start with phenomenon type and danger. Deep exposes the rest of the context; Quick retains those choices while showing a shorter form.

02 · Read the whole result

Review origin, manifestations, laws, warnings, inhabitants, portals, progression and escape together. Adapt descriptions to your setting.

03 · Refine a bounded group

Use structured edits or scoped rerolls. Check player observations, encounter context and retained fields against each change.

04 · Keep and share the right view

Save through your existing account. Copy or download the reviewed DM dossier or Player field guide, or prepare a selected Combat PRO scene.

The phenomenon toolkit

Preparation for extraordinary environments.

Know what is generated, retained and transferred.

Prepare a strange place or event

Choose a realm, demiplane, portal, storm, magical zone, time or gravity anomaly, cursed region, reality tear or celestial event, then review its dossier.

Shape altered reality in Deep

Set location, theme, danger, duration, scale, stability, portals, time, gravity, magic, supernatural weather, inhabitants, opportunity, spread, control and cause knowledge.

Read warnings and ways out

Review appearance, laws, manifestations, hazards, landmarks, opportunities, progression, countermeasures and escape alongside the hidden truth.

Refine one bounded group

Lock or reroll manifestation, laws, inhabitants, progression or encounter preparation. Check retained player observations and related sections after every change.

Edit and revisit a result

Use the structured JSON editor and result Undo/Redo. Review the complete dossier yourself; validation checks structure rather than story consistency.

Keep an account library

Explicitly Save through your existing Desktop Command Centre session. Search saved phenomena, open prior results or duplicate a separate echo.

Choose the audience

Copy or download the full DM dossier or the reviewed Player field guide. Close the editor and inspect Print preview before sharing a printed page.

Prepare one Combat PRO scene

Send one selected eligible phenomenon scene as saved, inactive encounter context. Combat PRO access, capacity and your choice of opponents remain separate.

Choose your starting point

Quick brief. Deep context.

Specialist presets prepare selected controls for another kind of phenomenon.

Realms, demiplanes and portals

Prepare an altered location with boundary signs, unusual laws and portal hints. A full travel network or world framework remains your separate preparation.

Storms and magical regions

Explore arcane storms, wild-magic zones, cursed regions or celestial events. The supernatural descriptions are separate from ordinary weather.

Time, gravity and reality

Choose temporal anomalies, gravity changes or a reality tear. Review observable effects and escape suggestions before introducing them.

Progression preparation

Prepare duration, spread and stability with descriptive stages. These are authored scenario notes; the product does not advance an autonomous clock.

Review the crossing together

Turn a strange place into choices.

A tabletop party studies portals, floating islands and magical terrain. The artwork illustrates a possible adventure, not generated maps or application output.

Use the dossier to prepare signs, hazards, opportunities and a route out. Decide what the party can learn and what stays in the DM view.

Refine without losing the whole

Check the joins after every change.

Scoped replacement keeps unrelated data rather than rebuilding every dependency.

Lock selected groups

Lock manifestation, laws, inhabitants, progression or encounter preparation against a scoped reroll. Full Generate creates another dossier without enforcing those locks.

Review retained information

Player observations, encounter packages, parameters and other sections can remain unchanged after a related reroll. Update or review them before use.

Edit and revisit

Edit the structured JSON and use result Undo/Redo. Those snapshots restore results rather than form choices, notes or lock toggles.

Keep the reviewed result

Generation uses complete choices and an advancing generation step. A seed alone is insufficient for replay; save the dossier you actually want.

Preparation you can judge

You decide how reality behaves.

Keep descriptive guidance within its actual scope.

Use judgement beyond validation

Generated audit statements are prompts. Validation checks required structure, not semantic consistency of laws, hazard severity or escape. Review the scenario yourself.

Review the audience view

Player JSON contains the selected observation field. Manual edits and related rerolls need a fresh privacy and accuracy review before sharing.

Prepare one eligible scene

Send selected inactive encounter context through the existing account route. Combat PRO requires its own access and saved capacity; choose appropriate opponents there.

Keep the wider world separate

World-scale cosmology, ordinary weather, castable spells, live physics and complete portal networks are separate preparation. This product does not automatically run a campaign or fight.

One selected generator: US$1.99/month

Select Planar & Arcane Phenomena Generator individually. Creating a free account does not by itself include paid generator access.

Five selected generators: US$8.99/month

Choose five eligible standalone generators. Review tools and terms in your account; a selection pack does not include every VISINVOKE product.

Review larger packs in your account

Choose more capacity when it suits your toolkit. Review actual tools and reselection terms before changing your subscription.

Separate product access

Combat PRO and linked image products retain their own access requirements. Generator access does not include every related product.

VISINVOKE means value. Quality. Ownership. Rewards.

An explicit account save

Save the current dossier through your existing DCC account. Confirm success before closing; there is no autosave or automatic multi-window reconciliation.

Prior results and separate echoes

Revisit limited prior results or duplicate a separate identity. The same seed retains the same identity, so another Save can version that record.

Search and reviewed notes

Find saved phenomena by name, type, danger, stability or notes. Review the current notes before another Save or Duplicate as echo.

Reviewed copy, JSON and print

Choose the DM or Player view before export. Close the editor and inspect Print preview, which can include preparation context as well as the chosen view.

A repeated Combat PRO import identifies the previously saved scene. It does not automatically update that scene after later dossier changes.

Quick answers

Dossiers, refinement and account records.

Understand the current workflow before opening the tool.

How do Quick and Deep differ?

Quick shows phenomenon type and danger while keeping the rest of the current form choices. Deep exposes location, theme, duration, scale, stability, portals, time, gravity, magic, supernatural weather, inhabitants, opportunity, spread, control and cause knowledge. Specialist presets change selected controls rather than resetting everything. Fresh workspace restores defaults. The output is descriptive preparation data; a choice such as no inhabitants or no portal does not automatically remove every related template hint. Review the complete dossier before play.

Can I reproduce a result from its seed?

A seed alone is insufficient. Generation also depends on the complete choices, generation step and reroll group; the step advances when you generate again. The same seed retains the same result identity, so saving another result can create a new version of that record. Save the result you want, or Duplicate as echo for a separate record. Opening saved or prior results restores the dossier and saved notes, not the form choices or generation step. Fresh workspace resets the working brief while keeping your account library.

What do locks, rerolls and validation actually preserve?

Locks prevent a selected scoped reroll; they do not constrain full Generate. Each reroll replaces only its bounded group while retaining identity, origin and unrelated fields. Player observations, encounter packages and other dependent sections can remain unchanged after a related reroll. Review them against the revised dossier. Generated audit statements are preparation prompts. Validation checks required structure and prohibited live-state text, not semantic consistency of laws, danger or escape. Structured edits need the same review. Undo and Redo restore result snapshots, not controls, notes or lock toggles.

How do account saves and prior versions work?

Save is explicit through the account already active in Desktop Command Centre, with required generator access. It stores the product library and keeps limited prior results when the same identity is saved again. Search by name, type, danger, stability or notes; open an earlier result and Save to keep it again. Duplicate as echo gives a separate identity. Review the current notes before saving or duplicating, since that input can carry across results. There is no autosave or automatic reconciliation between open windows; avoid editing the same library in multiple windows.

Is the Player field guide automatically safe after changes?

A newly generated Player field guide contains observed signs and questions separately from DM origin, secrets and resolution costs. Copy and JSON download export exactly the selected audience view. They do not automatically redact manual edits or refresh observations after other scoped rerolls. Review the field guide before sharing. Print uses the current page, so the result heading, preparation controls or an open structured editor can appear as well. Close the editor and inspect Print preview; reviewed Player JSON provides the narrower export.

What reaches Combat PRO?

Select one eligible boundary-incursion or anchor-defence scene. The product prepares supported zones, environmental context, described hazards, disabled triggers, visibility or movement notes and an objective in a saved Standard encounter. Choose appropriate owned opponents in Combat PRO; full stat blocks are not generated here. The route requires Combat PRO access and available saved capacity, and it leaves active combat unchanged. Repeating the same result-identity and scene reports an existing import; it does not update that prior scene automatically. Full laws, secrets, progression and portal networks stay in the phenomenon dossier.
