I previously posted ideas working towards a complete set of
general encounter tables for Dolmenwood,
including variants for daytime/nighttime and party activity. I really
like the idea of having a bit more detail to the design of encounter
tables. Some people pointed out, though, that my previous designs,
being based on multiple rolls on multiple tables, would add complexity
in play. To that end, I've created conglomerated mega tables which
require but a single roll / look-up.
Here's the result. Obviously, this isn't a very usable format. I'll make it into a proper PDF at some point.
(Note: green things are animals, yellow things are fairies, red things are monsters, and blue things are people.)
Blogger is playing up on me, so I've had to split this post in two. First, here are the daytime tables.
Here's part two.
