Random Wilderness Features / Encounters / Events

These charts are used to generate Random Encounters/Features both Prior to the game session, to populate an area, or during a game session. Pre-Gen: 1d6 per hex (1-2 Indicates something of note) - Random Area 1d6 (1:North, 2:South, 3:West, 4:East or 5-6:Center) Post-Gen (In Game): 1d12 per hex travelled or per time period* (1-2 indicates players come across something of note) (If entering an already explored Hex with a feature present then 1 = Encounter Previous Feature**, otherwise roll a New Encounter) (A New Encounter on a Road, if Wandering Monster Table is rolled, re-roll and must accept new result, including Wandering Monster Table, ie this represents that it is generally safer to travel by road to avoid Wandering Monsters. The roads do have other threats though.) * Check once each short rest, check once every 4 of hours long rest, check once every 4 hours of exploring underground or as deemed by the DM. ** If possible, eg if the party are following a road and the previous feature is not near the road then it’s not possible, so roll a New Encounter.
