It's 2025 and I thought I'd try out a bit of a fun challenge for myself for the new year. Ive always enjoyed sitting down and putting things together for Pathfinder - conversions, homebrew, and adventure, but to be entirely honest, my time is stretched thin as a dad with two kids, full time job, running four PF groups, and being there for my family. So I decided to take what I love and turn it into a bite-sized challenge: one encounter a day!
The goal here is create one encounter (of a random level and difficulty) every single day for 2025, and it's been going well so far! I've put together a battle versus a very addled and confused dragon, a snipers' roost of hyrngar, and even an airship battle. Of course, that's just the start as we've had thirty-one days of encounters in January and more coming in February.
There's a link to the Google Drive collection here as well as the "Master List" of encounters created so far here. I hope that there's something here for everyone and that you can find something to pick up and use in your games, even if it's just an idea that you'd prefer to rewrite into something better and well-written ...more suited to your tastes!
And if anyone has any encounters they'd like to toss in, I'd love to make something like a "Community Folder" of encounters to share as well!

Good to have some free 2025 daily Encounters stuff for PF2E+ out there, Ruzza. ;)

Another month down and another 28 encounters finished up! I went off-script and made a short dungeon out of level 1 encounters just so that anyone could pick up what I'm doing and take it to a table right away (and because sometimes it's just fun designing little dungeons. Speaking of level 1, though - I happened to roll up an Extreme 1 encounter which I'm usually pretty against! After some fineagling with story, however, I did come up with something pretty satisfying.
But if you're looking for more high level encounters, I ended up making quite a bit! A battle against the armies of Hell (Severe 20), the defense of a number of Irorian monks from quelaunt invaders (Low 17), and even a particularly nasty trap within a sekmin fortress (Moderate 15).
The Master List and Google Drive remain unchanged and slowly fill up by the day! As always, if anyone has any sort of encounter they would like to see - let me know! It's always good to have an idea to build off of when my own start to dry up.

That's March in the bag! Like last month, I went with a bit of a longer project, this time creating a series of wave encounters within a siege set for a group of 5th level PCs.
Of course, that's not all! I put together a battle on the rooftops with a Daggermark assassin-mage (Moderate 8), a tricksie imp playing as a talking dog offering wishes (Low 2), and even a quest to snatch a phoenix feather while scaling the side of a volcano (Low 17)!
Next month, I'll be trying something a little different and might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I'm looking forward to seeing how it comes out. It's something I've kicked around in my head for awhile, so I hope that the community likes it!
