A deck of travel encounters for every busy DM.
Helping you run your game, with a little less struggle.
Welcome to A Thousand Roads and One!
I believe travel encounters should add stories, flavor, and shared experiences without slowing the game or taking hours to plan out for the DM.
- To achieve that goal I make decks of cards with travel encounters that can be easily used by DMs. They are designed to require no mapped out combats, and to take 15 minutes or so of play time. No PC needs to die to a random encounter before they arrive at the TPK. No random encounter needs to dominate a game day that had party goals that were finally going to be met. No DM needs to get soggy, sad, limp, and cold fries from the food run he missed because he was setting up a travel encounter.
- These cards are to help you laugh, cringe, and groan with your players as you build moments of emotional value and memories. They are kernel concepts for you to play with. Sometimes brief and forgotten, sometimes running gags. I hope they always bring smiles when you think of the games you played with them.
- Each deck has 52 unique cards. No duplicates.
- I'm always open to hear about sets of cards people would like to see me produce.

Email me. I'm a working Wound Nurse during the day, but will get back to you in the evening.
The first deck is set in civilized lands. The second is a hilly or mountainous lands set. The next will be set for the revolutionary war period, desserts, coasts, seasonal events or some other aspect I have yet to discern. Maybe a big city encounter deck . . .

Oh, right who the hell am I to think I can get these right,
About a half century or so ago 2 people loved each other more days than not . . . for a while at least.
My name is Dave. I am a midwestern born man who grew up with a single mom, spent about a decade in the Army Reserve, got married, divorced, married again, had a son, several dogs, too many cats, travelled to most of the U.S. states, England, Belgium, France, Netherlands, and Germany. Along the way I collected Associate degrees in Art and Nursing, Bachelor Degrees in Psychology and Nursing, and finished parts of Masters degrees in Clinical Psychology and Acute Gerontological Nurse Practitioner. I also completed schooling and exams for Wound and Ostomy certification. Oh, and for the Belegarth crowd, I was punched and called Sir Bogun. For everyone else- Belegarth is a full contact medieval game of wacky bats.
I started playing DnD at age 11, in the late 80's. I have ran and played DnD of every edition since. Also, Shadow Run, BattleTech, Mechwarrior, Amber, Warhammer 40K, Paranoia, Cthulhu, Pathfinder, and Kingdoms of Kalamar. I'm an amatuer woodworker and able to do minor sparky tasks without hurting myself or others. I have been madly in love, madly lost when it ended, lost many of the pillars of my world to death, and seen many people die. Every time we make a great memory of a loved one, we have a piece of them with us that we can hold onto like a handle on the doors of heaven after they are gone. I will do my best to offer up what I may to help you build all the handles you can.
