[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 7126565, member: 463"] Well, I generally use the tables provided in the material I'm running (or I forget they exist if they're hidden in an appendix - looking at you, [I]Rise of the Runelords[/I]) :) If I'm homebrewing, recently I've been using the generic fantasy encounter generator at donjon - eg [url]http://donjon.bin.sh/fantasy/random/#type=encounter;enc-type=Road[/url] - which gives me stuff like [I]Arron, a male elf minstrel wandering the world. He has angered a swarm of hornets, and begs for help. A male dwarf hermit named Kidi. He possesses the bizarre ability to charm gnomes. A stray flock of sheep flees in panic from a giant eagle overhead. A female halfling peddler named Priela. She is very drunk, and speaking fluent draconic. A pack of hunting dogs flees in panic from a silver fox. A group of peasants bringing their vegetables to market. Each of them is wearing the holy symbol of a long-forgotten fire god. The road ahead is blocked by a company of petrified adventurers. A female halfling peasant named Lica Bolge. She has an animal companion, a black rat named Arryn. A gang of brigands led by a male human named Iegelm. They are only interested in stealing weapons and armor for themselves. A female elf peddler named Duina. She is searching for her lost daughter.[/I] [/QUOTE]
