Somewhere between Unprepared Encounters and Emergent Storytelling is something I'm calling Relevant Encounters. This is prepared, story-relevant content, arranged on a D6 table, specifically curated for THIS adventure and always geared towards exposition. Let me show you how, using Dragons of Stormwreck Isle as an example.
