Hey y'all! Made this encounter generator over the weekend, figured I'd share it here. It tries its best to follow the encounter building rules from the book, but don't go expecting perfection in that regard! Mainly made this with my needs (fewer stat blocks/minis to track while still providing a good encounter/challenge) foremost in mind.
If you use it, let me know what you think!

Could you add an option to choose a faction?

100%! It's on my list of things to do.

Cool idea. Would like to see how it develops.

I remember trying to make something like this with Flee Mortals but ran into issues with the sheer number of possible encounters and couldn't decide the best ways to select from them. Do you have the code on github somewhere? I'd be curious to see the algorithm you used.

That number indicates how many of that monster to use - the book has some guidelines (like 4 minions minimum, 2 horde creatures, etc.) and I very loosely followed those guidelines here. Might add a little "x" before the number to better get across the idea

An option to select grouping(s) would be a great addition. Using this to Direct my first game of Draw Steel!

Good luck to you! I might be able to add it by day's end
