What is a Random Encounter Table?

A random encounter table is a tool that Game Masters can use to generate random encounters for their players. These encounters can be anything from a group of goblins to a friendly NPC to a deadly dragon. By using a random encounter table, Game Masters can add an element of surprise and unpredictability to their campaigns.

How to Use a Random Encounter Table

Using a random encounter table is simple. First, decide how often you want encounters to occur. Some Game Masters prefer to roll for encounters every hour, while others only roll once per day. Once you've decided on a frequency, simply roll a die to determine which encounter you get.

There are many different types of random encounter tables available. Some tables are specific to a particular setting, such as a forest or a dungeon. Others are more general and can be used in any setting. The following are a few examples of random encounter tables:

  • Forest Encounter Table
  • Dungeon Encounter Table
  • Road Encounter Table
  • Town Encounter Table

Creating Your Own Random Encounter Table

If you can't find a random encounter table that you like, you can always create your own. To do this, simply brainstorm a list of possible encounters and then assign each encounter a percentage chance of occurring. For example, you could create a forest encounter table that includes the following encounters:

  • Group of goblins (50%)
  • Friendly druid (20%)
  • Giant spider (15%)
  • Pack of wolves (10%)
  • Ancient tree spirit (5%)

Random encounter tables are a valuable tool for Game Masters. They can add excitement and variety to your campaigns and help you create memorable and immersive experiences for your players. So next time you're planning a session, be sure to grab a random encounter table and give it a try.

Additional Tips for Using Random Encounter Tables

  • Don't be afraid to adjust the encounters to fit your campaign. For example, if you're running a low-level campaign, you might want to remove the ancient tree spirit from the forest encounter table.
  • Use the encounters as inspiration. The encounters on a random encounter table are just a starting point. Feel free to add your own details and make the encounters your own.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to use random encounter tables. Try different frequencies and different types of tables until you find what works best for you and your players.

I hope this guide has been helpful. Happy gaming!
