Trying something different. I'm doing all my random rolling ahead of time so I can prepare in Roll20. I know where the PCs will be travelling to, so I know how many times to roll. Amazingly, I only rolled one encounter, everything else is weather related (they'll be making a lot of saves vs. the cold, but the weather gets better halfway through their trip. BUT that one encounter came up BOXCARS and that means a dragon. This is the second time. Last time they opened the lair but chickened out with the dragon just out of sight. Now he's out and marauding. They're 3rd level. If they choose to travel fast their perception checks will be penalized.

They will be warned that the dragon is around though. And I'm using the young red dragon stats. I'm not a total asshole DM.

Google Translate (may it never be shut off) helped me with an amazing name:
AURUMIGNIS MORTIFERUM

    Skyrim taught me that dragons show up at the most inopportune times...

    The Amazon bought a horse and the dragon snatched it and flew away with all her equipment. Good thing she bought that horse or it would have been a PC.

    For a certain kind of game, I build tools like this one and then print out a stack of results for random stuff -- encounters or hexes or lairs or whatever and just take them to the game:

This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players.

This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
