Encounters, An Alternate System

My previous posts on Encounters had an encounter table and a specific subtable for that what that encounter is doing at the time. This version has a few more variables but outputs a lot more variety to the encounters.

The basic format is that of a mad-libs type sentence. Different die are used to allow them all to be rolled at once. Note that some activities may not be what they seem, a priest preaching to themselves might be practicing a sermon or might be insane or possessed. The GM then needs to make sense of the results.
