Random Encounter Design

1 page solo encounter tool, that creates a random experience every time you initiate a battle.

This tool is 1 page and follows three easy steps. 

1. Location

• Determine map/hex size, and roll dice to determine location of encounter(s)

2. Obstacle / Cover

• Roll as many times, on the D10 table to add obstacles and cover to your current location 

3. Combat Motivation 

• Roll on D10 table to create random attack/movement until encounter(s) or Party flee or die. 

Examples Posted: 

I chose a minimalist approach using this tool. The Legos in the example represent everything found on the D10 Obstacle/Cover table, except for my PCs. 

• PC1 = pink
• PC2 = yellow
• Sign Post = brown
• Building = white with/without dots
• Trees = green
• Mountain side = gray
• Pond/Lake = blue
• Enemy Encounter(s) = red 

* Please feel free to use whatever you desire for counters; would love to see different examples from the community*
