Sounds like Caravan to Ein Arris, which I haven't actually read.

Cold Shard Mountains has encounter tables suitable for the setting. As does, in its own way, Merchants of Venice.

Yes, Caravan to Ein Arris had a very simple random encounter table in it, but the encounters are all just filler. I think it was included just to demonstrate how random encounter tables work.

Classic Orcslayer has a couple of pages of random encounters divided by terrain.

I swear I saw just what you're looking for a few days ago...unfortunately I can't recall exactly where it was...I think DFRPG Companion 3, maybe...

I'm going to go searching though.

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.

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.
