100 entries x 6 times of day x 8 weathers = 4,800 roll combinations, and every entry has its own written twist, not a one-line prompt. You get 4 plain PDFs (US Letter and A4, color and black and white), with no ZIP to unpack.

What's inside · 18 pages per PDF

  • 100 forest encounters (pages 4-16, 7-8 per page). Every entry has a number, a short name, a 1-2 sentence encounter, a Twist line, and a threat tier.
  • 100 twists. Each is written for its own entry, so the encounter is more than a one-line prompt.
  • d6 Time of Day table (6 results) and d8 Weather table (8 results), each with a one-line effect on how the scene plays: grey dawn, dusk, deep night, low fog, steady rain, thunderstorm, sleet and early frost, and leaf-fall (page 3).
  • Threat tiers (Low / Mid / High) on every entry. They are system-neutral, so there is nothing to convert.
  • A one-page roll strip (page 17, landscape): condensed d6 and d8 tables plus all 100 encounter names, to slide behind a GM screen or keep beside your notes.
  • A How to Use page with a worked example roll (page 2), a cover (page 1), and credits and license (page 18).

The encounter mix

Entries are grouped by number, so you can roll inside a range when you want a certain kind of scene: 01-35 beasts and hostiles, 36-65 people (pilgrims, hermits, charcoal burners, pedlars, outlaws, deserters, bounty hunters), 66-85 the forest itself (windfall mazes, sinkholes, swollen fords, bramble walls, flash floods and the old road), and 86-00 the uncanny. Good for wilderness encounters and forest travel. No stat blocks. You bring your own system.

How to use it

  1. Roll d6 for time of day.
  2. Roll d8 for weather.
  3. Roll d100 for the encounter, then read the entry and its Twist.
