Overland Exploration Tables
| Please use common sense with this table. If the country or area you're visiting did not experience a nuclear explosion then ignore radiation hazards and treat the roll as Nothing. Likewise if you roll a rockslide in a plains area. | ||

| 31-55 | Lost | |
| 56-75 | Encounter | |
| 01-20 | 2D6 animals attack the adventurers looking for food. The GM should choose a wild carnivorous species that fits the locale. | |

| 36-50 | If the group has not posted a guard for the night each player will be robbed. If they have posted a guard, the guard must make a perception roll to detect the D10 thieves else the group still loses their stuff. | |
