Twilight Encounters
 |
This is basically a 2nd Edition box set¸ minus the 2nd Edition rulebook.
Twilight Encounters is designed to put pregenerated adventures into the hands of the referee for immediate use¸ and to make resolving encounters easier and more enjoyable. Twilight Encounters contains a revision and expansion of the encounter system and also includes a sneak preview of the second edition Twilight: 2000 combat system.
The expanded encounter system will greatly increase the depth and diversity of random encounters in Twilight: 2000. The revised combat rules¸ in conjunction with the new tactical maps and playing markers¸ will make resolution of the combat part of encounters easier as well.
