Zero-Prep Just Narrate

Unlike most encounter books that require studying in advance Encounters at a Glance works differently. Each encounter is designed to be run with zero preparation. Just open and start narrating using clearly marked headlines and progress sections. Everything you need is referenced directly in the 3-page encounter spread. No flipping back and forth between pages.

Discovery Zones

Use discovery zones to choose a random encounter: roll to determine which encounter your party stumbles upon and scratch to reveal it keeping even you the GM surprised by what happens next. 

Journey Events

Did your players wake up refreshed grumbling about an itchy bedroll or chasing after a squirrel that ran off with their socks? Bring your world to life with journey events: bite-sized roleplay moments that turn every day on the road in the forest into something memorable. Each morning the journey event pages let players roll a d20 to see how their day begins. Then the party leader takes charge rolling to guide the party through the afternoon evening and night€™s unfolding events. Simply have your players roll the dice and let fate guide the way!
