Revised Spelljammer Encounter Table
by Todd Montgomery
These tables were put together by Todd Montgomery, and can be used as an alternative
to the tables in the books. Granted, random encounter tables are an acquired taste: some
people love them, some hate them. If you fall into the later category, then these may
prove useful in designing "quick" adventures, where you don't have the time to actually
sit down and design the super- fantastic- adventure- to- end- all- adventures.
We've all been on that route...
