If the character you divide the sum total character levels by four, if their first or fourth level or by two, if their fifth level and above.

You can find a link to a detailed description of the Lazy Encounter Benchmark in the show notes. And I still, even now, after seeing everything that's come out, I think the Lazy Encounter Benchmark is a good, solid, easy way to keep track of your monster difficulty and your combat encounters. Over on the Sly Flourish Patreon, we have the Sly Flourish Patreon Q&A.

Patrons can ask any RPG-related question one time per month. I answer those questions over there every Friday. Some of those questions I bring here so that we can talk about them here on the show. Fergus E. says, I recently bought your book, Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master, and I'm through the first section detailing the steps. Sorry, I read slowly and I don't have much free time.

Remember, you can skim read that book. Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master is intended to be skim read. So you can go there. If you read the intro, the intro tells you how to read this book in like five minutes. It's really designed to be read very quickly. I love it so far, but I'm running into a problem.

I'm starting a campaign set in a modern day earth, much like our own, and I'm having trouble having a hard time coming up with fantasy locations. Sure, there are great landmarks, both natural and man-made, but they aren't exactly the most widely spread things in the wide world because otherwise they wouldn't be fantastic.

And the PCs aren't always going to be at the summit of Mount Everest or the Great Coliseum. How do I integrate fantastic locations into a real-world type setting without constantly making up fictional places that might ruin the immersion? Am I thinking too big here? You might be thinking too big. A fantastic location, you could also kind of just call that a unique location.

Like what is an interesting thing that you might run into? And if you walk around your local town, you'll find all different kinds of things. You know, ancient cemeteries in the middle of big urban areas. We have one near my house. There's like a cemetery I went to, and it turns out they have tombs from like the pre, they're from before the foundation of the United States.

So you can, one way to build locations like this, I think that makes it easier. One thing that I think makes it easier is that you can mix a bunch of random tables together. So what I challenge you to do is to sit down, start off with 10, but then ideally you could come up with 20. What are 20 just landmarks that they might run into?
