RANDOM ENCOUNTER TABLES OF GREYHAWK Missing from the new supplements on the World of Greyhawk were any random encounter tables.  I always liked encounter tables myself either to use to make up an adventure on the spur of the moment or to get a feel of what kinds of creatures were likely to be lurking around a particular area.   The encounter tables for the various nine regions listed in the Adventure Begins and the Players Guide to Greyhawk are listed below.  Just click on the name of a region to see encounter tables for the various countries and geographical features it contains.

Notes on encounter tables:(1) Most of the tables apply to open teritories within the borders of the various countries.  Border encounters are 25% likely to be with a patrol in civilized lands.  These patrols will 60% be ordinary patrols, 15% Superior, 20% levies, and 5% warbands travelling to the borders.  (2)  Humanoids:  Several tables include a general humanoid entry:  To determine type of humanoid roll 1d20: 1=gnolls or flinds, 2=goblins, 3=hobgoblins, 4-20=orcs/orogs.
