The best part of any gaming book is the little ideas. Great NPCs. Intriguing locations. Small, elegant rules. Campaign or adventure ideas. It doesn't matter which game or genre it's originally for, we can throw those ideas into any game we want.

Random Encounters is a series of gaming books consisting of just the ideas. 20 short essays about cool stuff to try in your games. Character stuff. Monster stuff. Campaign arcs. Adventure ideas. Encounters. Play at table. House rules. All kinds of little ideas for you to read, take, use and alter to make your game all it can be.

Here are 20 more simple and inspiring notions to bring your game play to another level. Based on the widely shared "RPG Thought of the Day" series from G+, these ideas are vetted, refined and given to you for whatever nefarious purposes you can dream up.
