Who once held it?
A former owner turns an anonymous object into a loss, a disputed possession or a keepsake. Decide whether that person is alive, known to the party or only remembered through a mark.

Loot
Contextualizer
A locket can be evidence. A chalice can be a claim. Give recovered objects a former owner, a discovery reason and a possible consequence, then decide which story belongs at your table.
Existing objects, clues and possible consequencesWindows access through Desktop Command Centre
Beyond an inventory label
Make the reward raise a useful question.
Prepare possible histories for the objects the party already found. You decide which connections become true.
Why was it found here?
A discovery reason can suggest concealment, payment, confiscation or abandonment. Review the independently selected passage against the actual location and circumstances in your adventure.
What can the party notice?
Condition, a physical description and an expanded clue can give the players something to inspect. Decide what is immediately visible and what requires investigation.
What might happen afterward?
A story tag and consequence offer a claim, reaction or new question. They are preparation prompts; keeping or selling the item does not automatically change your campaign.
Read the clues before drawing a conclusion
The object is a starting point.
The illustration shows adventurers inspecting marked equipment, a pendant and a map. Use condition, provenance and a clue to prepare a similar moment: what can the party see, who might recognise it and which question deserves investigation?
The actual tool adds authored narrative passages to names you enter. It does not analyse a pictured object, construct a map or prove how the independently selected histories fit together. Review each connection and choose what the players can learn.
From recovered objects to story prompts
List. Contextualise. Review. Keep.
A short list can become preparation for several scenes. Review the complete result before saving or sharing.
01 · List what was found
Enter one item name per nonblank line, up to twenty-four items. The names label the objects; you supply the scene, value and rules context yourself.
02 · Choose depth and held facets
Begin with Full context or select Direct only. Optionally hold an owner, reason, condition, story tag or consequence. The selected locks apply to every object in the list.
03 · Read each combination
Contextualise the whole hoard and inspect owner, discovery reason, condition and possible aftermath. Full context adds provenance, a clue, a secret and legal status. Check whether these independently selected details belong together.
04 · Save or copy deliberately
Keep the exact result as a local saved hoard. Copy the full text when you need to move it into your notes, then redact private material before giving an excerpt to players.
What the current tool provides
Context around the objects you already have.
Prepare narrative connections, keep selected facets and retain useful hoards locally.
An existing item, a possible history
Enter names for objects the party has already found. Add a former owner, reason for discovery, physical condition, story tag and possible consequence through independently selected authored passages.
A whole hoard in one pass
Put one item per line, up to twenty-four items. Each gets its own context. Blank input becomes a mysterious object; the tool supplies narrative context rather than creating or pricing a treasure package.
Two depths of context
Direct only provides the core owner, reason, condition, tag and consequence. Full context also adds provenance, a clue, a secret and legal status. Read the combined result before making it true in your campaign.
Five facets you can hold
Choose a former owner, reason, condition, story tag or consequence under Keep these. These five locks apply across the whole hoard. Reroll the complete list with the chosen facets retained.
Conditional typed-seed replay
A typed seed repeats with the same item list and order, depth and locks. Blank-generated seed labels do not reliably replay. Keep a local save when the exact result matters.
Full-text copying
Copy the hoard includes every generated text layer, including expanded secrets. Review and redact the text for the intended audience; there is no player-safe copy switch.
Local saved hoards
Save the current result on this machine, open a saved hoard or remove its local record. Opening restores the saved input text and result, not depth, locks or seed.
Story prompts under your judgement
Use claims, clues, condition and consequences as preparation. Results are not priced or rules-balanced and do not alter inventory or campaign state. There is no Combat PRO handoff on this product surface.
Choose how much context to prepare
A direct trail or a fuller set of questions.
The depth selection controls the next generation. Changing it leaves the displayed result in place until you contextualise again.
Direct only
Use the core former owner, discovery reason, condition, story tag and consequence when you want a shorter narrative prompt. There is still private story material to review before sharing.
Full context
Add provenance, a clue, a secret and legal status. These layers can suggest an investigation or contested claim; they do not guarantee a solved mystery or a coherent legal case.
A condition with its description
Hold a visible condition when it already fits the find. The result includes the matching condition description; decide which fictional implications your rules and scene support.
Keep one angle across a hoard
Select a common owner, reason or consequence when a shared thread suits the collection. A held facet is applied across the list, while unheld details are chosen again.
A reward can lead to another scene
Keep the belongings with their questions.
The illustration shows a statuette, portrait locket and recovered belongings under inspection. The actual result is text: possible ownership, discovery, condition, story significance and consequences, with additional private layers in Full context.
Use it to prepare an heir’s claim, a recognisable mark or a later reaction. The tool does not supply these item images, a treasure valuation or a rules-balanced equipment dossier. Read and adapt the narrative before making the reward part of your campaign.
Hold what fits, then reroll
A lock is a choice for the whole list.
Keep useful facets deliberately. Generating again replaces the on-screen hoard without changing existing saves.
Five visible facet choices
Keep an owner, reason, condition, tag or consequence. These five locks apply across the whole hoard, rather than protecting individual items or the additional Full context layers.
Clear choices before rolling again
Roll everything again releases the held facets but does not generate a new result. Press Contextualise when you are ready to replace the full hoard. There is no individual-item reroll or result editor.
Typed seeds need matching choices
A typed seed can repeat with the same item list and order, depth and locks. Changing a held facet or depth changes the random choices. The seed input clears after every generation.
Save an exact result
Blank-generated seed labels do not reliably replay when re-entered. Keep the hoard as a local save when you want the exact text again, rather than relying on a displayed seed label alone.
Review the story before using it
Private context is part of the full copy.
Choose what the table should discover and which possible consequences you want to prepare.
Check whether the parts agree
Names label the objects rather than controlling the authored narrative. Independently selected owner, clue, secret and consequence passages can need adaptation. There is no semantic compatibility check or automatic rules validation.
Read and redact copied material
Copy the hoard includes secrets when present, along with story tags and future consequences. There is no player-safe copy switch. Review the complete text and share only the portion your players should know.
Use the available output controls
The current surface supplies full-text copying and local saved records. It has no JSON download or print action. Move the reviewed text into your own notes when you need another presentation format.
Keep campaign authority with you
The result is not priced or rules-balanced and does not alter inventory or campaign state. It creates no item artwork, complete mechanical dossier or Combat PRO encounter. Decide which claims and reactions become true.

Standalone narrative preparation
No Combat PRO subscription is required for this local tool, and there is no Combat PRO handoff on its current surface. Other generators, Battlemaps and image products have separate purposes and access.
Keep useful hoards locally
Saved hoards stay on this machine. Save writes the current input text and generated result to the product’s local application data. There is no account cloud library or autosave on this surface.
A new record each time
Each Save creates a new record, shown with its title and seed label. Open a saved hoard or use Remove to delete that local record. The current surface has no search, tags, rename or version history.
Open the result, then review the setup
Opening restores input text and the result, not depth, locks or seed. If you edited item names after generating, the saved input text can differ from the generated list. Review both before using them again.
Guidance beside the task
Start Here and How Do I guidance explain listing finds, contextualising a hoard, holding facets and saving results. Use the actual controls and review the text for your scene and audience.
Loot Contextualizer adds possible history to existing item names. Treasure-package construction, full item design, magical-item mechanics and campaign bookkeeping remain separate tasks.

Quick answers
Objects, context and saves in plain language.
Understand the controls and copying boundaries before opening the tool.
What does Loot Contextualizer produce?
It adds narrative context to names of existing objects: a former owner, reason the object is here, condition and description, story tag and possible downstream consequence. Full context also adds provenance, a clue, a secret and legal status. Authored passages are independently selected; names label the objects rather than supplying semantic rules for the narrative. Review whether the combination fits the object and scene.
What are Full context and Direct only?
Full context is the initial depth and includes the four additional layers: provenance, clue, secret and legal status. Direct only keeps the core narrative fields. Both work with the same item list and five visible facet locks. Switching depth changes the generation choices; it does not revise an existing result until you press Contextualise.
How do the locks and rerolls work?
Choose a value for former owner, discovery reason, condition, story tag or consequence. The five locks apply across the whole hoard, so every item receives the selected value for a held facet. Press Contextualise to replace the full result. Roll everything again clears locks but does not generate a new result until you contextualise. The current surface has no individual-item reroll, added-layer lock or result editor.
Can every displayed seed reproduce a result?
A seed you type can repeat a result with the same item list and order, depth, locks and current product content. Blank-generated seed labels do not reliably replay when re-entered. The seed input clears after generation, and changing depth or locks changes the choices. Save the exact hoard locally instead of relying on every displayed seed label.
Where are saves kept, and what does Open restore?
Saved hoards stay on this machine in the product’s local application data. Each Save creates a new record. Open restores saved input text and the result, not depth, locks or seed. Remove deletes that local saved record. There is no account cloud library, autosave, search, tags, rename or version history on the current surface. If you change input text after generating, review it alongside the displayed result before saving.
Is copying player-safe, and does it export or send to Combat PRO?
Copy the hoard includes secrets, story tags and future consequences when present. There is no player-safe copy switch; review and redact for your audience. The current surface has no JSON download or print action and no Combat PRO handoff. It supplies narrative prompts, not a priced or rules-balanced item dossier, generated item image, automatic inventory change or campaign update. Paid standalone generator access is separate from a free VISINVOKE account.
