Anyone that’s ever played a role-playing game (RPG) knows that the game is made up of encounters. An encounter does not necessarily mean a combat situation, it could lead to an entertaining role-playing session.

So I’ve created an ongoing series of posts concerning encounter ideas. These ideas are just that, ideas. You can take them and incorporate them into your game regardless of system and if you have any ideas you’d like to share I’d love to hear from you.
