On the assumption that the sandbox is initially geared at heroic tier play, we'd be looking at entries in the range of mostly EL 1-13 (perhaps 1-15). To keep the format simple, I'd like to compile all suitable entries in the MM 1 on "encounter groups" and sort them into terrain type. I'm short on time and so can't do all of that myself, so if some of you could create posts with entries like thesethat would be a great way to pool our resources. The page numbers are there to speed up time at the game table (for those of us running combats off the books). Now, what's more, if you've created a memorable encounter out of MM1 creatures that fits the above strictures (roughly EL 1-13, fits a terrain type well) please share it here! In that case, kindly  reference your encounter thus (I'm using the same encounter group as example):Now, there are plenty of dungeon type encounters on the hex and plenty of creatures in the MM 1 that are primarily suited for underground encounters. But I think the random encounter tables oughta focus on overland travel and the dangers thereof.As I said, I'm happy to compile it all (sort it by terrain and EL, using Excel) once we've amassed a dozen of posts or so. I'll then do neatly layouted PDF thereof to be linked to in my OP for all of us, so that we can roll our d100s and cause player mayhem.Finally, if the type of resource described in this post already exists for 4E, please link it and save us all a lot of work. Thank you. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
