Encuentros fortuitos: sí, peleas fortuitas: no

He recopilado una lista de encuentros que se pueden utilizar durante el viaje que no sean combates.

Un buen encuentro fortuito debe ofrecer una oportunidad para rolear o un desafío de alguna clase. Debe hacer que un viaje no sea aburrido.

Un búho ulula en la distancia.

El anterior es un ejemplo del tipo de encuentros que descarté pues no llevan a nada. Otra cosa que eliminé fueron los encuentros con hormigas, abejas y demás, pues son técnicamente combates contra enjambres de alguna clase. No obstante, quise mencionarlos porque no son combates convencionales y agregué una entrada en la lista que engloba todos estos encuentros de semi-combate en uno solo.

Aquí está la lista de recopilaciones ligeramente modificadas y en inglés. Si alguien está interesado en una traducción, puedo prepararla para una entrada futura. Si tienen ideas de otras cosas que se pueden agregar, pueden dejarlas en los comentarios y las agregaré a dicha lista. Todas estas ideas son compatibles con D&D, Pathfinder y básicamente cualquier juego de rol.
