E.g., the DM writes in his journal:Forest of KlatburnAnd adult green dragon has recently made her lair in this forest. Most of the plants and animals have fallen under her sway, and she will quickly know if any intruders enter her domain.Sometimes it's not possible to know where everything is, and that is when random encounter tables come in. But I overrule the dice if they produce something that is implausible (turning into the Waterdeep ally, you find yourself facing [rolls] 1d4 dragon turtles), or boring ([rolls] 2d6 kobolds - party is level 12).</blockquote>
