Random Encounters Remastered 3 by Purple Duck Games

This product is 31 pages long. It starts with a cover and credits. (2 pages)

How to Use this Book(8 pages) This section explains how to use the new encounters and all the new aspects and what they mean. It includes a bunch of terrain features, random tunnel table and some new hazards.

Expanded Tables (17 pages) Here each location gets a indepth encounter table, disposition table, and terrain table. The locations expanded upon here are. Bowels of the Earth – deep deep down into the earth. Endless Caverns – old dungeons, caves systems near the surface etc. Highlands – Hills and mountains. Scorched Waste – deserts, wastelands, scrub lands etc. Teeming Veldt – Warm Plains and low Hills. Windswept Plains – Flat open plains such as in Russia Steeps or the Midwest of the US.

It ends with a OGL and contact info. (4 page)

Closing thoughts. The art work is black and white and fair. Editing and layout is very good. I didn't notice any errors at all. My first reaction to this one was it wasn't as good as the previous ones. I think mostly cause it overlaps it's self with Bowels of the Earth and Endless Caverns. They are different but similar same with the Teeming Veldt and Windswept Plains. After thinking about it though I am glad both was done as they are different enough to have different monsters or creatures in them often. The terrain and hazards where not as inspiring but still good. I put this up with the rest of the series, the best random encounters tables yet made for Pathfinder or really any game. I really have nothing bad to say about the product. So what's my rating I am giving this one a 4.5 star review.

Trust me, I'm a Succubus.

This pdf is 31 pages long, 1 page front cover, 1 page editorial, 4 pages SRD, leaving 25 pages of content, so let's check this out!

After elaborating for quite a bit on my personal relation to random encounters in my reviews of the first two random encounters remastered files, I'm going to limit myself to a more basic reviewing approach here: Essentially, this pdf provides HUGE tables for different terrains, including hazards and beasts. For your convenience, the creatures come with their source-book mentioned as well as an average CR-rating.and we're speaking about tables that go up to e.g. 480+! That's not all, though, for the series also features terrain features and so-called dispositions. Dispositions are a kind of modular template you add to an encounter like "disguised" etc. Tables including e.g. clues for encounters etc. are included as well and random tunnel directions should be noted among the cooler features of the general section of this pdf along-side rules for flash-floods, mirages and sinkholes.

Terrain-wise, this time around we visit the bowels of the earth, endless caverns, highlands, scorched wastes, teeming veldts and windswept plains.

Conclusion: Editing and formatting are top-notch, I didn't notice any glitches. The pdf comes in Purple Duck Games' 2-column standard and the b/w-artwork is ok. The pdf comes with extensive bookmarks and is small enough to be used on an e-reader. I really like this series, as it is a great way to enable a DM to spontaneously create random encounters that are detailed, challenging and don't feel as amorphous as regular random encounters. However, not all is gold in this pdf: While I enjoyed the focus on subterranean terrains and plains in this pdf, the overall hazards and terrain felt a bit less inspired than in the 2 predecessors - unique terrain-features like side-arms of Styx and similar terrain-specific hazards are mostly absent from this file and I would have loved to see more dispositions in this file. Overall, this book is good, but slightly less good at what it sets out to do than the 2 predecessors. Thus, my final verdict will be 4 stars.

Endzeitgeist out.
