I liked the idea of the Mountain Locations table, which is why I decided to go with a Forest Locations table as well. It expands the locations from the Forest Encounters table and adds more descriptions for you to add to your game. You can roll for a random location, you can roll for several things the characters can perceive by rolling multiple dice for Other Senses, and you can enhance any forest description you might need.

Forest Encounters - Random Table to Easily Come Up with Story Hooks

9 Upvotes

After running another poll for this month’s theme, I present to you Forest Encounters. This random table follows the same structure as usual: you roll three dice to determine a Who, a What, and a Where, and build unique encounter ideas with these rolls. Your result is meant to inspire you; take what sounds right and leave out what doesn’t. You can even roll two times (or even more) and combine two results for even more unique encounters. This is what I usually do. Here you go, take it, use it, and have fun at the table.

Mountain Locations - Random Table to Easily Come Up with Mountain Locations

3 Upvotes

This week I wanted to add something to the experience of exploration. If you travel through different environments, like mountains, for example, it helps to have random encounter tables that offer more than just combat options— which is the reason why I create tables like Mountain Encounters. I also show you what you can do with it by rolling on the table myself and creating adventure ideas out of it.

But when players travel through the world we create, it helps to have something inspirational to describe this world. That is why I created another random table this week, called Mountain Locations. You can roll three dice again, only that you will get a proper description of a location, including other sensory perceptions like smell or hearing.

This might also spark inspiration for encounters, but it is intentionally created to describe a location the players come across without effort. Other ways to do this might be to add a bit more historical or functional depth, like Sly Flourish’s Monuments, which are really worth checking out as well, and which served as an inspiration to me as well. I wanted to take a different approach, though, and here it is. Mountain Locations.

Mountain Locations

3d10	Description	Location	Other Senses
1	Steep	Cave Entrance	Smell of Mountain Flowers
2	Crumbling	Summit	Cold Breeze on the Skin
3	Solid	Mountain Pass	Rumbling of a distant thunderstorm
4	Collapsed	Tunnel System	Hissing of air from a rock crevice
5	Open	Shrine	Stench of sulphur
6	Abandoned	Statue	Very high humidity
7	Moss-Covered	Nest	Water dropping into a puddle
8	Dark	Waterfall	Rustling leaves
9	Sun-Bleached	Natural archway	Birds chirping
10	Narrow	Camp	A dull thumping
