READ THIS FIRST: WHAT IS AND ISN'T INCLUDED

Each border scene ends with a "Roll on" line that points to one of the four Wilderness Encounters d100 books (Forest, Swamp, Mountain, Desert). Those books are sold separately and are NOT included in this pack. Without them every scene still works as a stand-alone seed: play it, then improvise what comes next or use any table you like. The finds tables need nothing else. These same pages are also part of the Wilderness Encounters Bundle.

What's inside · 7 pages per PDF

  • Cover (page 1) and How to Use (page 2).
  • d12 Where Terrains Meet (pages 3-4). 12 scenes, two for each pairing of neighboring terrains: forest and swamp, forest and mountain, forest and desert, swamp and mountain, swamp and desert, mountain and desert. Every scene has a short setup, a twist, a threat tier (Low, Mid or High) and a "Roll on" line. Non-combat encounters as often as fights: flooded oaks, a fence that walks into the water, the last pines before the scree.
  • Terrain finds (pages 5-6). Four d20 tables, 80 finds in all, one line each, for after a hard day's travel or when the party stops to search. Every find is useful, trouble, or both. Printed on the pages as the Biome Finds table.
  • Credits and license (page 7).

How to use it

  1. At a border, roll a d6 for that pair's two scenes, or roll the d12 and reskin.
  2. 2Play the scene and its twist.
  3. Roll a d6 on its Roll on line to pick where the road goes next.

After a travel day, or when the party searches, roll a d20 for the terrain you are in.

Print the pages you need, or keep the PDF open on a tablet or screen share. Threat tiers are system-neutral and there are no stat blocks, so you bring your own system.
