[QUOTE="Smackpixi, post: 8456326, member: 7028579"] I apologize for not including the rest of your post but both of those concepts are reasons I think people would want the exploration pillar to be more than it is currently said to be. At the end of the day though I think we just have better random population mechanics. And that’s not a bad thing, but alone it’s just meaningless. Ran into some ettercaps, rolled for treasure, +1 sword, roll for story, once attuned they know the sad history of the former owner. or, after defeating the ettercaps we search the webs and discover the desiccated remains of what was once probably an elf. The gem from what was presumably a necklace remains. If held to a light source it reveals an internal image of three snakes entwined…..ah we’re on the right path. better random tables do not a mor emmersive journey make. It’s just stuff. Extra stuff in the way. It’s the dm populating that stuff that makes the journey more than a tax. players know a tax when they fight it, looking at you stirges. [/QUOTE]
