[QUOTE="Reynard, post: 4016752, member: 467"] I figure the best way to build these is by combining the terrain type and rarity of the monsters with a healthy dose of attempted versimilitude based on the region. For example, I might create a random encounter chart for the area that lies within the hunting range of the big red dragon in the area that encompasses multiple terrain types and reflects the fact that there is a single apex predator in the area. Or, if I want a "haunted forest" the chart needs to represent that, not necessarily what creatures are typed for woods terrain. Also, I like the idea of doin more than just determing creature types and probabilities. it is more work, but adding actual encounters -- mini adventures almost -- to the random encounter chart will make it so that there's always the possibility of cool stuff to do even if the PCs aren't feeling particularly self motivated. I have "country sites" for 2E still but not too many other adventure supplements. Anyone have good suggestions for these kinds of things. It is particularly helpful if they are either vailable as PDFs or cheap on ebay/troll and toad/noble knight. [/QUOTE]
