Fantasy Encounters

In the Fantasy Encounters section, we have some great random encounter tables for your fantasy tabletop RPG campaign. It includes the tables to create random encounters in the wilderness, in the city, in the water (rivers or oceans) and in the fields. Just pick the appropriate table depending on the situation your characters are in. It’s great for adventure designers to flesh out their adventures with details. Running a game with these tables is a simple matter of rolling some dice and consulting the table.

With the wilderness, city, river and field encounter charts, you will have a lot of interesting encounters. I plan to add a lot more content in the near future, so watch for more encounter tables. I’ve spent a lot of time and thought to make each encounter table unique and interesting. GPT-3 from OpenAI has also helped create this content. With a human DM and advanced AI, you get the best of both worlds. Be sure to take a look around the website and send any feedback to me, so I can keep improving and adding new and interesting content.

I plan to keep releasing free, unique content on this site, and I appreciate your support and feedback. I’ve spent a lot of time compiling these fantasy encounter tables, but it’s worth it when I hear from a DM that I saved them when they were in a pinch. Feel free to change these up so they fit your particular campaign. When it comes to random tables, I’ve been a fan for decades now. There’s something magical about rolling a die and coming up with an interesting encounter on the fly. Magic, I tell you! Thanks again for checking out the site.
