Glorantha location encounter tables?

[Deanjday]

I have just recently got into Glorantha and Runequest and am preparing to run a game for my group. Something which is a bit daunting is the sheer size of places, even if I am limiting the group to a specific region such as Dragon Pass or Prax. My question is are there any good encounter tables for specific places or do you just wing it as to what is potentially encountered? are there any books particuarly that have encounter tables?

Yes, there’s encounter tables in the RuneQuest Classic products and in the current RuneQuest: Glorantha product The Smoking Ruin & Other Stories.

Secrets of Dorastor and Holiday Dorastor: Temple of Heads both have Encounter Tables in the classic RQ2 Roll a D20 mode.

All of the Holiday Dorastor supplements will have tailored Encounter Tables that amend the general ones for the surrounding area, as well as new ones for newly-described areas.

Secrets of the Oasis Folk will probably have encounter tables for the Wastes and for Oases.

Secrets of the River Voices will have encounter tables for Zola Fel, maybe.

I believe the Guide has something approximating encounter tables. Ranked by commonness and not by dice though.

Regional Event Tables. Similar, anyway.

HeroQuest 2e books had encounter tables for Sartar (Sartar Companion) and Prax & Pavis (Pavis: GTA).

RuneQuest Classic had generic encounter tables at the back of the core rulebook, and a recent Jonstown Compendium community content release refreshed these (slightly) for games set in Sartar: Close Encounters of the Sartar Kind.

Many of the RuneQuest Classics had extensive encounter tables: the best are probably Griffin Mountain, Pavis, Big Rubble and Borderlands. We're talking percentile rolls vs. type of terrain to come up with a random encounter with a fully-statted group of monsters or NPCs. Check 'em out!
