[QUOTE="el-remmen, post: 8559307, member: 11"] I was just thinking that I want to add some color and potential side trek seeds for my current campaigns as they begin to travel further afield from the small area most of the adventures so far have been taking place - esp. through settled areas. It is easier to come up with evil swamp encounters than it is to come up with "The King's Road" or "On the Outskirts of a City" encounters. And by encounter, I mean anything worth mentioning as notable to give a sense of place and/or travel. I'd love a product that has tables for things like "Road Encounters" or "Stalls at the Market" or "Villages Names" or "Weather Events" or "100 Different Farms." It can be system neutral. In fact, I might prefer it to have no crunch at all - though if it does have crunch the closer to 5e or any past D&D edition (except maybe 4th) the better. I also prefer some thing I can buy a print version of - though if it a high enough quality PDF to allow me to print a bound copy at Office Depot or whatever, that would work if not too expensive. My guess is that with all the 3rd party material out there, stuff like this must exist and I could count on the good folks of ENWorld to save me time by telling me about the ones they find useful. I guess, if I had any other criteria, it'd be that I prefer charts of mundane or low magic things than anything where the ubiquity of magic is assumed or where it serves as commodity/technology - but that if there is some of that in combo with just charts of everyday stuff, that'd be fine. So whaddya got? Anyone still use random tables? [/QUOTE]
