Some regions only have a handful of entries, and some have too much duplication.  I am not happy with the results so far.BTW, I intend for there to be encounters with civilized races on these charts as well.  Lumberjacks in the woods, a clan of halflings in the hills, farmer and cart, mercenaries, road patrols, traveling merchants, etc.  More populated regions such as the Heartlands and Harkendale will be weighted towards these types of encounters, while wilderness regions will have almost all monster encounters.  That will be integrated later, as well as Special encounters.  The stuff below is monsters only, and that is where I've hit a wall.</blockquote>
