Updates to Random Encounter Tables

I added encounters for really lost players and I am starting a new encounter format so a D20 is used instead of D100. I will revise the older tables through the rest of the month. The encounter tables include monsters from my books in play list.

Basic Random Encounters
D12 Terrain
1 Temporate Terrain Basic
2 Forest Basic
3 Water 1 Basic
4 Water 2 Basic
5 Marsh Basic
6 Wild Plains Basic
7 Inner Plains Basic
8 Desert 1 Basic
9 Desert 2 Basic
10 Mountains Basic
11 Mountains Epic 1 Basic
12 Mountains Epic 2 Basic

Some of the encounters from the tables linked, can be quite tough for low level games, if that is the case, I usually give my players a running start to duck and cover or let them have clues about whose territory they just stumbled into. In fact, many of my game sessions are built up around a single random encounter that ended up developing into a campaign for some of my groups. Not every one has to be about combat if the beast generated from these tables can carry a conversation with the players then let the parley happen. Of course the players have to be in the mood to talk instead of hack…
