[QUOTE="RUMBLETiGER, post: 5557324, member: 6674868"] As a DM I also have planned out travel encounters, based upon what my players want/need. We've had occasion to: 1. plot out day-by-day travels at a time when I was giving small amounts of exp for one party that wanted to do evening fireside sparring matches between themselves for training and bragging rights. 2. Other times the players wanted a few random encounters so they can practice against different kinds of opponents, from bandits to wolf packs to bounty hunters to troll raids to a displacer beast to... well, you get the point. 3. Another specific occasion a player wanted to die intentionally so as to reroll a new character and so a very specific travel encounter was designed so he could die heroically while the rest of the party escaped. 4. And finally, sometimes it's a simple matter of, "You travelled the last 2 months on horseback. Nothing interesting happened, and now you've arrived." [/QUOTE]
