Re: Random Encounters: Where are they?
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).

Re: Random Encounters: Where are they?
Yes - it is DFRPG Companion 3 that I was thinking of. It's on p66-76 ("It's An Encounter!" - the same Pyramid article mentioned by ajardoor,) though this is only for the currently published monsters for Dungeon Fantasy (it's written for DFRPG, but it should be usable with the GURPS Dungeon Fantasy line.) The tables include non-monster random encounters as well, by the way, including things like settlement, ruin, and person/people encounters. Quite frankly, if it's Dungeon Fantasy you're wanting these tables for, you definitely want this book. Even for GURPS Fantasy, I think it would be useful, with all the stuff it contains.

Re: Random Encounters: Where are they?
Thanks everyone for the answers! I'll take a look at the recommended books! It's just that there are a lot of supplements, a lot of PDFs, and some of them went unnoticed for me.
