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... Chance of Encounter (All modifiers are cumulative.)
