It's often a case of the more the merrier too; as there's nothing like rolling the same encounter twice to break the "reality" of your gaming session.<br /><br />That said, I certainly agree with the idea of focus; so that every encounter feels like it somehow belongs to both the situation, and any other random event you may encounter. Benign encounters can really help weave that experience too, as I would like to think that not everything was out to kill me! ;0).<br /><br />Some terrain is definitely more dangerous than others though, so maybe a weighting based upon the inherent properties of the terrain? For example, I expect swamp land to be far more dangerous (risk of disease, bug bites, large reptiles, losing gear to heavy mud, exhaustion etc) than a relatively leisurely walk on the plains.<br /><br />That's just my two cents though. :0).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10861626392729277749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-417337570309175061.post-88965093157583941952017-02-04T10:26:25.991+00:002017-02-04T10:26:25.991+00:00Hi Filip!

I really like to read through your work (and RPGs in general; https://www.theguardian.com/books/booksblog/2015/jun/19/the-joy-of-reading-role-playing-games) but a big-format PDF doesn't make it easy. I could print things out, but that seems wasteful and I the last few times I did that, I always left the papers somewhere and never read more than a few pages.Filiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04358880136697456547noreply@blogger.com
