[QUOTE="Kichwas, post: 9749486, member: 891"] Outside of doing a few randomly generated dungeons back during AD&D 1E in the early 80s just as a gag because those crazy tables were there, I've never liked random encounters and almost always if not actually always avoided using them. If something doesn't have a purpose in the story or narrative, I don't want it in there. That doesn't mean something can't happen that the players think is random. I grew up around drivebys and other conflicts after all. But I'm not doing an RPG as a life simulation game. I'm doing it for a shared story. And in a story you put in conflict as a part of plot or character. Not because Tolkien rolled a 23 on a d100. Note that save for the time I was running Pathfinder 2E adventures, my games have never been scripted. They're an improv affair as I work through the story with my group. So... not sure which answer in the survey works for me. Is that a "different method for that" given that for me there is no "that"... [/QUOTE]
