Timing of Random Encounters in Dungeons

Sun 15 Jun 2025, 13:42

I'm looking forward to running my first Adventures module this week but a little confused about the timing of random encounters in dungeons. The adventures say to roll for an random encounter if the party is in an area for a stretch, but most areas seem like the party wouldn't stay there that long. How is this usually handled? Is there an expectation in the game or what do others do?

If the PCs just move on and doesn't Rest of use Spot Hidden it will be up to the GM to decide how many corridors and rooms the PCs can move and do a quick check in before a stretch has passed, but probably several.
