Do you struggle with ho-hum wandering monster tables? Do you find yourself--as a D/GM or as a player--dreading any time you have to roll on a random encounter table?
Never fear: the Environmental Encounters tool ensures that you'll rarely have the same encounter twice while on the road between points of interest!
Zero Prep, System-Agnostic
Designed to be immediately usable in any fantasy TTRPG, Environmental Encounters requires zero prep time.
No prep time? No problem! Just find the right table that matches the terrain you're moving through on the map, and roll. FlexTale Environmental Encounters will take care of the rest, no matter what your experience level as a D/GM.
What is This Thing?
The FlexTale Environmental Encounters book is 85 pages of richly-detailed tables and tools designed to make random encounters better.
More interesting for players. Easier to run for D/GMs.
And above all: NOT BORING!
How to Use This Book
It's a simple process:
1. Determine what terrain the party is moving through. Most rules systems identify a small handful of terrain; Environmental Encounters differentiates 23 different landscapes, from Lava to Coastal, from Grasslands to Pine Forests.
2. Roll. It's just a d20.
3. Look up the Event, Quirk, Combat Encounter, or type of No Encounter that results. There's over 60 different things that could happen, most with a deep variety of additional permutations and riffs that make for thousands of different possibilities!
The majority of the book is system-agnostic, and can be used easily with any TTRPG system. Some specific tools and elements contain rules language tailored to 5E, Pathfinder, Pathfinder Second Edition (P2E), OSR, and Dungeon Crawl Classics (DCC).
What's Included
FlexTal Environmental Encounters features:
36 FlexTables, each four tables in one, covering a wide range of possiblel contexts and 23 terrain types.
49 Tables which add nuance and variability to the results.
27 Event encounters, each a minor setpiece in and of itself.
29 Quirk encounters, designed to add interest but less threat to overland travel.
And much, much more!
