Encounter Tables Part 2

X57

    So, apparently I didn't realize that the B/X wilderness encounter tables already account for the inhabited areas which basically makes my previous post redundant.  It's not entirely useless though since now I am going to combine the two charts.

    Now, the inhabited area encounter table will look like this.

    The procedure will be the same, rolling twice for monster type and once for action when exploring within inhabited zones whereas I'll only be rolling once for monster type in regular wilderness hexes (woods, mountains, swamps, etc).  This is to help reinforce the idea that inhabited areas generally have quite a few things going on while also making the party feel very alone in the wilderness.  I really like hearing stories from people who have encountered an animal (or cryptid) while they were traveling alone in the wilderness and I want to recreate that kind of atmosphere in my own wilderness.  When the party sets out on an expedition, they should really feel like they are on their own.
