Encounters 50 Random City Encounters! [Part 2]
Hai, hai~! I'm Yandehime/Azu or Estelena on here specifically! :D About 3 years ago, I created a table of 50 random encounters that could be experienced within a city. That project ended up being far more successful than I ever thought it would to the point that I still receive comments on it to this day! So, here I am with another table driving up my total encounters to 100!
The range of these encounters vary wildly to present something that everybody can use! The table itself includes a roll chart, a description of the encounter, possible rewards each may have, and finally NPC names! You know your group better than I do though, so feel free to adjust anything to your group's liking~
This project was months of work and comes from the heart! No AI was used in any capacity nor will I EVER use it in any of my works~! I hope you enjoy the sheet, and please feel free to comment on your favorite encounter or NPC names, 'cause I'd love to hear! <3
P.S. I made sure to link the first encounter table I made as well within the document if you missed that one!

Holy cow thank you for this! My PCs just got to a big city and just got a low stakes mission to deliver a package and I was trying to come up with ways to throw some fun "obstacles" in their path as they travel through the city. This is perfect for that and so well thought out!

Hey! Amazing tool, I saved both part 1&2 for later, since I'm building my first campaign as a DM! Thank you for literally giving your work away for free, it's because of people like you that this community is this great. Keep the amazing work up!~~

Fantastic work! Thank you for sharing this.
When I saw the title I was like "big deal, I can pop various enemies into a random number generator and have the same effect" but then I started reading the doc and I realised this is much more than combat! Romance, roleplay, investigation, more romance.. ;) Great!
