FOREWORD

On these encounter tables,

you generate the monster type

(animal, giant, humanoid, etc)

and then roll for the specific

monster. Why? Reason one is that

I can accommodate more than 100

monsters per climate and terrain

type.

Also, if a druid/ranger

casts animal companion or

sorcerer/wizards summons

familiar, should you get a toad

in a desert? Of course not. These

tables neaten things up for you

if you wish to limit the

possibilities by climate and

terrain.

Encounter Check Procedures

I. If I present any “rule” you don’t agree with, change it (i.e. if you think 15% is too low, make it

78%, go ahead).

II. Check for the chance to get lost (Wilderness Lore DC 9). If the party does get lost, roll a d6 to

determine new route of progress; (1905 in the illustration below is the hex number; my campaign

maps use number hexagons):

III. If desired, check the Temperature, Wind Speed and Chance of Precipiation on Table I, below.

IV. The possibility of an encounter is 15% per 4 hours (non-cumulative).

If an encounter is indicated, check to determine the type of encounter.

TABLE IV. GEMSTONES

WILDERNESS EVENTS

MONSTER ENCOUNTERS

Monster Encounters are detailed in sections I., II. and III. (Cold, Temperate and Warm,

respectively).

A Note about my maps. I often include multiple symbols in a hex; thus you might see a

mountain, a hill and a tree in the same hex with a brown background. What’s up with that? On my

maps, the background color gives the hex’s main composition:

Brown Mountains

Green Forest

Light Blue Water

Orange Hills

Pale Green Swamp

Tan Plains

Yellow Desert

If a hex contains two colors, the choice depends on the direction of travel. However, trudging

through the hex with multiple symbols gives you the Dungeon Master the option of picking one of

those alternate wildernesses (to break things up if the encounters are getting stale).
