Encounters
How's this work? There are three different encounter charts based on proximity to civilization: Tamed, Wilds, and Deepwilds.
- If you're traveling in Tamed areas (any hex claimed by a community) roll a d12 and consult the Tamed table.
- If you're traveling in Wilds areas (any hex unclaimed by any community) roll a d12 as normal, and then roll another “indicator” one. If the indicator die's result is an even number, consult the Wilds table with the first die's value. If not, consult the Tamed table.
- If you're traveling in Deepwilds areas (hexes at least three regions away from the nearest community-claimed hexes) roll a d12 as usual, then roll an indicator die. If the result is even, consult the Deepwilds table. If not, consult the Wilds one instead.
Encounter tables refer to categories of encounter rather than individual types, since individual details will vary depending on the biome. The exact circumstances are also left vague- GMs are encouraged to use their imagination to fill in the gaps.
- Weather: Unusual weather patterns for the area.
- Flora- local plants of interest
- Ambient- critter, unlikely to cause trouble
- Pest- weak creature, might cause non-combat trouble
- Sapient- intelligent community-based creature
- Apex- most dangerous thing around
- Hunter- aggressive creature
- Ruin- legacy buildings
- Anomaly- weird/alien creature
