Random Encounters: Where are they?

[ajardoor]

There was a big Pyramid 3/118 article "It's An Encounter!" that was a deep dive into random encounters, right down to the distance, weather, time and terrain involved. Highly recommend.

Also, DF 21: Megadungeons has a table for rolling the general power level of an encounter (most likely pre-placed, but random encounters are hardly impossible for using it).
