Swamps and marshes can be dangerous places at best, but a GameMaster may need to come up with encounters for travelling through them on the fly.

This supplement has 100 different encounters suitable for such regions that can be dropped into a journey. Some are odd, some are potentially dangerous and some may be a potential source of adventure hooks.

To use the list, either roll d100 for a random result or select appropriate ones manually.

Here are some sample results:

44. Low-lying bushes covered in bright red berries, identifiable as ripe cranberries (an Easy Survival roll), cover the bog.

45. Marsh gas is being emitted from the marsh at this point. The air is poor quality and there is enough gas that a naked flame will ignite the gas, sending a sheet of flame across the area, then leaving several patches still burning (any open source of flame will ignite the gas, causing Ones fire damage to all within the area, an Average Dodging roll to halve this).

46. Mud by the water bears the marks of footprints, where something with large, clawed feet has walked through it. The right knowledge (a Hard Survival roll) will identify them as belonging to a troll (or similar creature).
