Tundra Encounter Table, with Bonus Golf

A little while ago on G+, I opened the floor to some Joesky Tax style

assignments. The first one is from Rey, blogging over at Bum Rush theTitan. He wanted an encounter table for the tundra, so here's what I

got.

you use a d8+d12 method or whatever.

Wolfpack- Can be a regular wolfpack. Can be a pack of winter

wolves. If you're feeling gonzo, have it be a shapeshifter which turns

into a wolfpack, a la the D'ivers from the Malazan Book of the Fallen.Have the lead animal of the pack be a nine-headed beast while you're

at it.

Frost Giant - Winter Wanderer.

Sabertooth Tiger - 25% chance the pet of a Winter Wanderer group.

Mammoth - 50 % chance grazing, 50% chance fleeing from (roll

again)

Remorhaz - these things always seemed really goofy but they're

going to make it onto this list goddammit! Big-ass polar worm, ventsheat out through its spines. Make sure that you're using the diTerlizzi-

illustrated remorhaz, no other will do.

Berserkers/Nomads - Winter Wanderers. Don't have to be Norse!

Arctic Owlbear - components from Arctic Owls and Polar Bears.

White, makes no sound, deadlier than usual.

Frost Walkers - giant-ass skeletons, as per "Saving the Best for Last"

over there to the right. Have old weapons, some chilling or draining

powers. Can maybe turn into snowdrifts and then reform, if you're

feeling in a particularlyT'lan Imass mood.

Neanderthals - in a local cave complex? Frozen in a block of ice?

Forest Spirits - those assholes who try and lure you down forbidden

paths, or draw your friends away...you know the type.

Nehwon Behemoth - the four-legged killer whale. Faster than it

looks. About as hungry as it looks.

Lost Caravan - Wagons? Sleighs? (If sleighs, totally have them have

tossed a kid out to save the rest like those old stories.) Is anyone still

alive? If so, are they being pursued, or are they just completely lost?
