Message: <blockquote data-quote="karlindel" data-source="post: 5480719" data-attributes="member: 27103">Depends a bit on how you define wandering monsters.  I voted nay, as wandering monsters to me generally means randomly encountered wandering monsters from a table.  That is something that I stopped using early on in 3e.  Encounters take time, and I prefer to stick to encounters that will advance the plot or lead to something more interesting than just another combat.  If I were to use a random encounter table, it would have few, if any, monsters on it.  If I want to showcase the perils of a certain area, I will put together an encounter to do that, which may include monsters that are wandering. If by wandering monsters you mean that the monsters are not always found in the same location, then I would vote yes.  Monsters generally have better things to do than sit in one place and wait to be killed by the PCs.</blockquote>
