What does Unfinished Business Generator do?

Give an established character one unresolved promise, debt, search or return journey, with an origin, reminders and story hooks while leaving when and how to pursue it to the player. Develop the origin, two reminders, table cues, who notices, two story hooks, two roleplaying tips and a possible change.

Which kinds and strengths can I choose?

Choose a promise to keep, debt to pay, score to settle, person to find, apology to make, abandoned quest, truth to uncover or home to return to. Set the pull to a loose end, nagging task, important obligation, pressing matter, urgent goal or purpose that drives everything. No strength makes action compulsory.

What do I prepare?

Enter the character’s name, true details, role, tone and strength of pull. Deep preparation chooses the kind of business and an origin in childhood, hard times, admiration, loss, an old success or an accident. Add an established character fact, things to avoid and private context.

Can I refine and save the unfinished business?

Lock, change and edit individual sections, save versions, duplicate a result or reopen it with the origin, reminders, table cues, observers, hooks, tips and possible change intact.

What can I share, and who chooses the next step?

Copy, export JSON or print the complete Dungeon Master dossier or a player-safe character note with the name, unfinished business, origin, reminders, table cues, hooks and tips. The DM note and private context stay hidden. This generator applies no mechanic or penalty and sends nothing to Combat Pro. The player decides whether, when and how to pursue the matter. It is a personal matter still open to pursuit, rather than simply past regret, a new promise made during play or a worst decision.
