[QUOTE="Kid Socrates, post: 2197751, member: 10714"] I voted never -- I don't run standard D&D (homebrew here) so I may be a little different than the standard results. I do lesser encounters, but not random encounters. I don't think a battle on the way from one town to the next with 8 kobolds or 3 otyughs would be very rewarding, short of "I got a critical hit with my rapier!" However, I think an equally challenging encounter with flunkies of the main villain or members of a rival guild or creatures they set loose could be rewarding. So I could see myself using a random encounter if I could take that encounter and make it tie into the plots, or possibly start a brand new one. That said, again, I run a game that's incredibly plot and character heavy, and therefore my settings really suffer as a result. I don't have anything awesome like the Mournland or a cursed forest or anything. If I had something like that, sure, pile 'em on! [/QUOTE]
