Give players something to achieve
Protect, escort, capture, escape, hold, destroy or recover. Start with an objective and clear victory and failure conditions instead of treating every encounter as a fight to the last opponent.
Give the battlefield a purpose
Battlefield &
Objective Generator
Prepare tactical zones, useful routes, hazards and goals that can end an encounter without defeating every foe. Build the structure around your next tabletop session.
Quick creation or Deep tactical preparationWindows access through Desktop Command Centre
More than a place to roll initiative
Make position and purpose part of the encounter.
A fight becomes more interesting when the ground matters and the sides want something. Prepare the space, the pressure and the conditions that tell you when it is over.
Make movement a decision
Prepare approaches, contested ground, flanks and withdrawal routes. Cover, difficult terrain, elevation and choke-point notes give you a starting structure to adapt to your map and rules.
Create pressure with a response
Hazards include warnings and counters. Interactive and destructible features suggest ways to change a position, open a route or respond to danger, rather than only absorb damage.
Prepare the structure, then make it yours
The output is a tactical framework, not a graphical map or a rules simulation. Review the descriptions, translate them into your chosen tabletop rules and use your own judgement at the table.
Every zone has a job
Give your players meaningful choices.
Prepare routes, positions and objectives together. Make a contested centre, flank or withdrawal route useful to the encounter.
Use the descriptions with your chosen map and rules. The generator prepares structure, not graphical map output.
A clear preparation journey
Choose the space. Shape the pressure. Review the ending.
Go from a situation to structured tactical material, with the important controls visible and built-in help alongside the work.
01 · Choose environment, size and goal
Quick mode exposes environment, battlefield size, primary objective and seed. Ruins, forest, streets, caverns, marsh, ship or docks, temple and frozen pass provide starting contexts.
02 · Add tactical context
Use Deep to set visibility, cover, elevation, terrain and mobility. Add timing, sides, reinforcement entries and weather notes when they matter to your situation.
03 · Review zones and resolution
Read the zone descriptions, hazards, interactive features and entry notes. Check the primary objective, secondary goals, alternate victories and the condition that ends the encounter.
04 · Revise, save and brief
Keep useful zones, reroll another or edit the structured JSON. Validate and save, then review the player-known brief before sharing it. Optional Combat PRO preparation is a separate step.
What comes together
A tactical framework you can review and use.
Connect positions, pressure and goals in one prepared structure. Each section gives you material to adapt, not a promise of automatic rules execution.
Tactical zones with distinct roles
Create three, five, six or eight zones according to battlefield size. Review approaches, a contested centre, flanks and withdrawal routes through structured names, descriptions and terrain notes.
Objectives that can end an encounter
Prepare a primary goal, victory, failure and a clear ending condition. Secondary goals and alternate victories support encounters that do not require defeating every opponent.
Cover, movement and positioning
Set elevation, visibility, cover, difficult terrain, choke points and mobility as preparation context. Use the resulting descriptions and tags with your chosen map and tabletop rules.
Hazards with warnings and counters
Review zone-linked hazards with a visible warning, an effect description and possible counters. These are tactical preparation notes, not automatic movement or damage calculations.
Interactive and destructible terrain
Prepare ideas for movable barriers, control points and fragile supports, alongside entry, exit and reinforcement notes. Adapt these starting ideas into specific rules for your table.
Separate player and DM briefs
Share the player-known summary, zone descriptions and visible objective without the DM-only secrets and hazard counters. Review manual edits before copying or printing a player brief.
Zone revisions and account versions
Lock useful zones and reroll another, edit structured JSON, then validate and save. Search your account library, duplicate a battlefield and reopen prior saved versions.
Prepared structure for Combat PRO
Send the Encounter Brief, zones, objectives, inactive hazard rules and prepared triggers with appropriate access. No graphical map, opponent stat blocks or live combat state are transferred.
Start simply. Add detail deliberately.
Quick direction. Deep tactical choices.
Choose the depth that fits your preparation. The controls set descriptive structure and context; they do not simulate movement, distances or damage.
Quick: a focused starting point
Choose environment, battlefield size, objective and seed. The size gives three zones for Tight, five for Standard, six for Large or eight for Sprawling.
Deep: terrain and positioning
Set indoor or outdoor context, elevation, visibility, cover, difficult terrain, hazards, interactive terrain, destructibility, choke points and mobility. Review the resulting descriptions and tags.
Deep: sides and pressure
Prepare two to four sides, reinforcement-entry notes, weather influence and timed or untimed objectives. The generated timed goal uses round six as its deadline; edit the structure when your scenario needs another condition.
Presets: Defence, Ambush or Siege
Defensive prepares protection, cover and restricted movement. Ambush emphasises escape and obscured sightlines. Siege starts with a sprawling space, destruction, elevation and three sides. Adjust the preset before generating.
Know how the encounter ends
Prepare more than total defeat.
Review victory, failure and a clear ending condition, alongside secondary goals and alternate routes to success.
Give players a purpose to act on. Adapt the prepared conditions to your scenario and chosen rules.
Keep the useful preparation
Change a zone. Keep a design. Return to a version.
Make revisions deliberately and build a reusable collection in your account. Review surrounding context when you change the structure.
Reroll one zone, preserve other zone records
Choose an unlocked zone to reroll. The other zone records stay locked. Keep battlefield size consistent so their IDs remain present, and review top-level objectives and summaries after generation.
Edit the actual structure
Edit battlefield, objectives, tactical notes, player-known information and DM secrets as structured JSON. Apply valid structure, then validate and save. This is not a drag-and-drop map editor.
Build a searchable account collection
Save validated battlefields, search by name and reopen a design. Duplicate a saved battlefield when you want a separate variation instead of replacing your original account record.
Return to prior saved versions
Major saves retain prior versions you can reopen from the library. Your account session and required generator access support these saves; keep your own structured export when you need a portable copy.
Preparation and play stay distinct
Share what players know. Keep live execution separate.
Use the right view and export for the job, then review the preparation before it reaches your table or a connected product.
Keep the player briefing deliberate
Generated player-known information excludes DM-only secrets and hazard counters. Manual JSON edits do not automatically update every view. Review the player brief after changes, and keep secrets out of its text.
Copy, export or print what you need
Copy the player brief or full structure and download structured JSON. Switch to Player view before using Print player brief, which uses your system print dialog. A formatted PDF publishing workflow is not promised.
Prepare a saved encounter in Combat PRO
With appropriate access, send zones, objectives, an Encounter Brief, inactive hazard rules and configured triggers. Timed preparation can include a pending round-six deadline. Review the import before starting live play.
No graphical map or active fight is sent
The handoff does not supply opponent stat blocks or transfer hit points, initiative, turns, targets or active effects. Combat PRO owns live execution; this generator supplies prepared structure.
Choose access for your toolkit
US$1.99 per month for one selected generator.
Battlefield & Objective Generator is a paid standalone tool, not an image-credit plan. Create a free account first, then review your selection and subscription.
One selected generator: US$1.99/month
Select Battlefield & Objective Generator as your individual generator. A free account alone does not include paid access.
Five selected generators: US$8.99/month
Use a five-generator pack when you need other eligible standalone tools. The pack buys selection capacity, not image credits or automatic access to every VISINVOKE product.
A larger collection when needed
Review larger selected-generator packs in your account. Choose the capacity and actual generators you need, then check subscription and reselection terms.
Separate products keep separate access
Combat PRO, Battlemaps and image systems have their own access models. A standalone generator subscription does not automatically include those products or image and animation credits.
Less scattered preparation
Keep zone descriptions, objectives, hazards, counters and briefing material together rather than rebuilding the encounter from disconnected notes.
Reusable work, not one disposable result
Save your reviewed battlefields, duplicate them for another situation and return to prior versions. Keep portable structured exports as your preparation library grows.

Quick answers
Zones, briefings and access in plain language.
Understand the structure and its boundaries before opening the generator.
Does it create a graphical battlemap?
No. Battlefield & Objective Generator creates structured tactical preparation: zones, routes, terrain notes, hazards, objectives and briefings. Use a separate map or environment product when you need a graphical map. The artwork on this website illustrates the planning purpose, not generated map output.
What is the difference between Quick and Deep?
Quick exposes environment, battlefield size, primary objective and seed. Deep adds indoor or outdoor context, elevation, visibility, cover, difficult terrain, hazards, interactive terrain, destructibility, choke points, mobility, timing, sides, reinforcements and weather notes. Defensive, Ambush and Siege presets prepare useful starting settings.
Can I change one zone without replacing all the others?
Yes. A selected-zone reroll locks the other zone records. Keep battlefield size consistent so their zone IDs remain present. This protects those records, not a promise that every top-level objective or summary stays unchanged. You can also edit the structured battlefield JSON and validate before saving.
Can I save different versions and share a player brief?
Save validated battlefields to your account, search by name, duplicate a design and reopen prior saved versions. Copy the player brief or full structure, download structured JSON, or switch to Player view before using Print player brief. Review manual edits to keep secrets out of public text.
What moves to Combat PRO?
Prepared zones, the Encounter Brief, objectives, inactive hazard rules and configured triggers. A timed objective can include a pending round-six deadline. Review the imported preparation in Combat PRO; that product owns execution, hit points, initiative, turns, targets and effects. This handoff includes no graphical map or opponent stat blocks.
How do I access it, and what does it cost?
