Are your RPG encounters falling flat or feeling dull and lifeless? Well then, you need motives! By looking at the motives for each of the individuals participating in the encounter, you can begin to create encounters that feel completely different and driven by something other than blood thirsty ogres, vampires and goblins! These motives can be used for both social and combat encounters - so they'll come in handy in whichever game or setting you're using.

Start creating your own battle maps today using DungeonFog, and if you're stuck with a map, then check out their in depth tutorials to help you create awesome maps for your games!
