Add spice and variety to your random encounters! This article helps you to randomly determine the aims and actions of encountered creatures with a table which covers 40 encounter motivations including merrymaking, suffering, wounded, escaped, and many more. Running into orcs is one thing; running into orcs busy constructing a shrine is another! By Connors; illustrated by Cat Lu.

Any actual play experiences with this one?

Evil GM

So, any specific encounters anyone wants to share?

Evil GM

Cheers Jon - I would love to hear about some specific encounters that may have resulted from an entry here. That is why we do these things - for the betterment of the story, so it would be great to hear of some egs. :)

I've had shorter table versions of this, but really appreciate the breadth of options. It's going into the spreadsheet I use to populate encounters and dungeons.

I also compiled an example for each entry here. If there is any interest I will post on ENWOlrd. But what I really want to know is, has anyone sued this yet and if so how did it go? Would love to hear some egs of actual use. :)

Evil GM

I don't think so, sorry. It's more work on our layout artist than we can afford right now.

Just letting people know I am here to answer Q's. I hope GMs (and then players) enjoy this article and the little sparks it might ignite.

Evil GM

Hey, question, would it be possible make these out in A4 too???? We do not carry Letter size in Norway...
