Chance Meetings v2
Added 2022-05-01 10:00:45 +0000 UTCHeya, everyone,
Hope you are all doing well and that you enjoyed your own adventures Underneath the Barking Tree!
I had fun experimenting with a few solo games (mostly using World of Dungeons and Heartseeker) and the Chance Meetings situational random encounter tables. Mainly exploring the tension between general and specific in the situation vs. circumstance outcomes when interpreting these into results.
In the process, I edited some things, and also added a few more pages and tables to Chance Meetings based on my own games, which you can also find attached separately.
Faery Burial Mound is set in the family tomb of a deceased faery lord and featured satyr mourners and lovesick banshees.
Pyramid of the Ageless is set in the ancient cursed burial place of an evil overlord turned mummy and features a jackalwere eater-of-the-dead cult intent on reviving him.
Jungles of the Ape-God is set in dense hostile jungles where giant lumbering monsters stalk prey, worshipped by poisonous frogfolk and gibbering albino apelings.
I find these kinds of random tables carry a nice bit of the load in setting up interesting encounters in these types of locations.
Let me know if you have any suggestions for interesting location types!
Hope you will enjoy using them in your own games as well, and let me know if you have any suggestions for interesting location types!
All the best,
John
