Table Setting #3 - Broken Lands - Flora and Fauna of the Wilderness

on

Welcome Workshoppers. Here is the next installment of the Flora and Fauna of the Wilderness. The Broken Lands.

Broken Lands are those lands that sit in the margins between plains, hills, rivers, and mountains. Mostly dry, rocky, and dusty, broken lands have winding canyons, intermittent creeks and streams, rocky outcroppings, gravel slides, and hidden caves and cavern systems.  

Encounters happen often in the broken lands as its teeming with life and there are lots of places to hide. To roll for encounters in the broken lands: roll 1d6 every 6 hours while in the Broken Lands. On a roll of 1-3 the party has encountered something different, interesting, or potentially a conflict. Roll 1d30 – 1-10 is a Flora Encounter; 11-20 is a Fauna Encounter; 21-30 is an Environmental Encounter. Roll 1d30 on the appropriate table to determine encounter.

Flora were determined using the Flora and Fauna of the Wilderness Tables in the Table Setting #2 post on this blog.
