And finally, I made this spreadsheet to help with random encounter by level and environment.
Random Encounter Spreadsheet
Very nice list! I use a handful of these and there’s a few I’ve never seen before.
Do you have a source of battle music you like to use? That’s the biggest hurdle for me sometimes. I like to get good, roughly themed music pieces for combat. Finding ones that are looped or easy to loop (I am a novice at audacity), and that have no (or very few) lyrics is tough.
There are some great mixes on YouTube, like these below. But I also use a lot of RPG soundtracks, the Witcher, Skyrim, Fallout, FarCry, God of War, Final Fantasy. Etc.
