Encounters Remastered Edition


Hello, everyone!

I’m here to announce the release of the remastered edition of the Encounters supplement.

This new edition includes:

  • New Rules: A new rule for Random Events introduces unexpected occurrences that can change the course of the adventure, while new rules for Actions and Special Abilities add diversity to the adversaries you face.
  • Denizens of Egion: Descriptions, stats, and combat actions for around 170 creatures and folk, expanding the variety of adversaries (or not) you can encounter.
  • Special Items: A selection of new (and rare) items and gear for the adventurers.
  • Alternative Encounter Tables: Alternative encounter tables organized by Difficulty Level, Special Enemy, Dungeon Type, Location, and Theme, allow you to tailor encounters to the specific context of your adventure.
  • Updated Turning Undead Table: The updated Turning Undead table enables Clerics to repel new types of unliving foes.

Given the significant changes, both the Core Rulebook and the Into the Wild supplement were affected. Although there were no rule changes, some adjustments were necessary:

  • Core Rulebook:
    • The Dungeon Type and Dungeon Location tables were streamlined.
    • Artifacts descriptions were updated to clarify that they are no longer “usable” items.
    • Descriptions of Special Enemies and Enemies were revised to align with the new text in the Encounters supplement.
    • The Encounter table was updated.
    • The Special Contents table was slightly adjusted to account for the new possibilities introduced by some Random Events.
    • Some items in the Random Treasure table were tweaked to ensure they aren’t too powerful, preventing them from matching the effects of some Special Items.
  • Into the Wild:
    •  Complete class descriptions, which are already part of the Core Rulebook, were removed, leaving only the specific hexcrawl Skills.
    • Terrain-specific encounter tables were removed to avoid duplication and inconsistency with those now available in the Encounters supplement.
    • The Reaction table was also removed, as the initial attitudes of individuals and creatures are now predefined.
    •  A new Terrain type has been introduced: Arctic.

Over the next few days, there may be some minor updates to fix typos, but all the necessary content and adjustments are now in place.

I hope you'll have fun and, once again, thank you for your support!

Oh dear, I just bought your game on the 02.09.24 (c&c, e & itw) as a set! Is it possible to get in touch with you to get the revised / remastered edition for free? I haven't yet studied the game - I saw it on the Dungeon Dive Youtube channel - but as a Hero Quest fan I am itching to try it out. ;-)

   

The supplements are already bundled with the Core Rulebook. They are available separately for those looking to adapt them to other systems, but you'll find everything, including the remastered Encounters supplement alongside the Core Rulebook and other files in your purchase. Thanks for reaching out!!

Thank you! Looking forward to play once I finished moving to Vienna ! Greetings from Berlin !
