A couple of days back I came across this tweet (below) with some great advice for DMs.
Naturally there was a conversation/comments by others to this piece of advice.
The first was from the poster themselves pointing folks to the DMs Guild and a 77 cents document ‘11 Inn and Tavern Events‘. Which lead me to another document there (a pay what you want) called ‘10 Night Time Wilderness Camping Events‘.
Another commentator pointed people to a reddit thread ‘Vignettes, encounters, and bits of color‘ with some very handy tables of similar encounters for a variety of situations such as dungeons, villages, rotting cities, etc.
Naturally I will be printing out these and adding them to my DM folder. I can’t wait to start using this idea in my campaign whenever that happens.
