5e DND Random Encounter Generator

Greetings. I'm Paul Bellow, a LitRPG author, decades-long gamer (tabletop and cRPG), an RPG game developer, and publisher of several online communities. In other words, an old school webmaster. (Now there's a random encounter for you!)

I created this site with Free DND Random Encounters. I also run LitRPG Adventures. The site has dozens of AI-powered RPG generators and a growing library of RPG content (several encounter tables of various difficulty for 5e and other tabletop RPG). The content is generated by GPT-3 AI from OpenAI.

Thanks for checking out this free RPG encounter tool. I hope you find it useful! Enjoy your stay and reach out on Twitter or Discord if you want to make contact. First encounter is not always easy, but I love talking to people on social media about Dungeons & Dragons from Wizards of the Coast.
