With stats ranging from 4 to 18. We had a gnomish barbarian and an orc sorcerer with a charisma of about 8. Or some levels like that.The first encounter they survived. Then the second one was against a CR 10 fire giant. By some table i found in the DmG, a d% roll, they were supposed to find something of their CR +5, so i figured ten was about right. The poor giant was awfully wounded, and the characters did not survive. So they rolled up new ones and nobody cared.And you know what? Its been about the most fun hour and a half fun I've had in a while. and the players have enjoyed it to, nobody has even thought to take it seriously. Encounters have been at least pseudo-random, and the creatures they encounter do not necessarily want to kill them and will talk. Once they figured that one out, they began to survive a lot more.Anyway, this has been fun and I just thought I'd share.does anyone else do this? It isn't exactly a campaign, really just a set of random encounters.  Still. loads of fun.Eolin.</blockquote>
