Lookin' for a certain tool...

[Browser_12]

I'm looking for a utility (preferably in .exe form) for randomly creating a wilderness encounter.
Kind of like this one by Jani Peltola: http://www.melnworld.com/englanniksi/random_encounter.php3
except not browser-based. Otherwise, any program that would get close to that would be good.

Also, while I'm at it, do any of you DM's use a laptop at your sessions? I never have, but looking at the utilities available, it seems it would prove infinitely useful. I'm planning on using DMScreen by Wydraz Software:

Any favorite tools of yours?

Thanks a bunch in advance for any help you can provide.

Did you look on the page where that DM Screen tool was listed? There appears to be a combat generater there for use. That might fit your needs. I haven't tried using any of the tools listed there (Your post provided my first exposure to their site) so I can't speak to whether it would fit your needs for wilderness encounters or not.

Good luck in your search.
