Encounter Ideas

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.

  2. The Cat
  3. The Runaway
  4. The Street Peddler
  5. The Wallet
  6. The Abandoned Vehicle
  7. The Upset Parent (missing child)

  9. The Tinker
  10. The Press Gang
  11. The Fortune Teller
  12. The Wandering Minstrel
  13. The Ghost
  14. The Know it All

    Sheer brilliance! I love your ideas! I can’t wait to incorporate some of these! My DM block feels like it’s lifting already!

    These are great ideas. For some reason, the Funeral Procession really pops out to me. I’m going to use it in my next single session game to start the adventurers out.
    Thanks for the resource.
