3 Methods for determining when an Outdoor Random Encounter occurs in TFT
3 Methods for determining when an Outdoor Random Encounter occurs in TFT:
In The Fantasy Trip, the standard length day on Cidri most easily follows the real-world parallel of a 24 hour cycle. Any one of the three methods below will aid in determining when a Random Encounter or Timed Event will occur during the game without GM bias:
Example: The first roll of 5 indicates a night-time encounter will occur between dusk that day and dawn the next morning. Then, a roll of 2 further indicates the encounter will take place sometime between 6pm and 12am midnight. Finally, a roll of 4 indicates the party will experience the encounter or event between 9pm-10pm that night. Due to standard expectation resulting of the possible combinations of 3 sequential 1d6 rolls, the Adventure Party is most likely to experience a random event when they are ideally best suited to deal with it; whereas the likelihood of continually being caught with one man on guard-duty with everyone else asleep in their bedrolls, is ideally modeled for realistic frequency - all things being equal; that is. GM's of a more sinister disposition, or who wish to more accurately reflect the aggressive behaviors of nocturnal predatory beasts, or the tactics of pursuing enemies who are adroitly tracking the party with the intent to attack them when the party is most vulnerable, are encouraged to skew these rolls with modifiers as they feel best reflects the situations and circumstances in their own game.
