[QUOTE="SteveC, post: 9470142, member: 9053"] Let's not get hung up on the semantics: the idea is that to get the very best scenario, you also have to risk having a really bad one. I've played in one of those where everything was random encounters and the dice came up great, combined with the right reaction rolls that led to a fantastic role playing encounter. I've also played in a game (this was in college over the summer, so I had maximum free time) where we spent several sessions trying to find the dungeon while in the desert. I think we had two or three random encounters mixed in with working with survival and supplies over about a month. I also have played in many games where all of the encounters were way above expected challenge and we spent the session running away. A balanced set of encounters, and hand-waving "you spend three days looking for the entrance to the tomb, and you've found it." Yes please, in 2024. [/QUOTE]
