I’m just figuring out how to properly use random encounter tables at the table. I find them fascinating as tools to communicate setting without writing an overlong history.
Ghouls vs. Gnolls:
what NPC’s might be looking for.
War-torn fantasy strangeness:
who is waging war across a fantasy continent.
6 Types of Vampires
create vampires
Githyanki Invasion
roll 6d6 and get that invasion started
Orcus vs. Doresain
encounters in a death-demon ghoul god war
The Raven Queen vs. Vecna:
flesh out encounters in a world where incarnations of death are at war.
Corvuston:
flesh out encounters around the Raven Queen’s Holy City.
Web of Cities
creating a diplomatic relationship map for a group of cities
Big Shire
random encounters and generating prisoners in crow cages for the Hobbit metropolis, Big Shire

figuring out planar imbalances in outland villages.
Jobs in Marsui:
inspiration for creating monster hunting adventures in Marsui
Into the Odd Expedition Generator
