Dungeon Bills
Another excellent idea and a cool table over at Elfmaids and Octopi has inspired me. Handbills, and pamphlets for the game table as a means of providing the players with rumors, clues, and outright lies that will tell them something about the campaign at a pace the players may care to deal with or not. No long interruption in play, no long campaign doc to mine for tid-bits, just the occasional bill or pamphlet laying on the game table.

The 10th Doctor Made it.
I was fiddling with the Dr. Who anniversary google doodle just now, it's a tiny little video maze game where you have to navigate the Doctor through little mazes populated by daleks and a few other Whovian menaces. I started with the 1st doctor and each time you get zapped you play the next doctor up the line: I prevailed with the 10th doctor, I foolishly thought number 4 could beat the daleks yet again.
My Teenage Daughter is a big Dr. who fan (she's going to a Dr, who party tonight), she's playing on her computer and has managed to get all the doctors killed.

Getting A Head In Life
History and fiction have long depicted warriors claiming the heads of their enemies. Isn’t it about time your dungeon delver did so?
Dungeoneers, warriors, and wizards of all sorts can gain advantage
by taking the heads of their fallen enemies. Any enemies head can be used to
impress the neighbors, frighten foes, and improve luck.

The D20 Survival Roll is 1d20 + toughness bonus (in my
campaign it’s like a fortitude save)
If HP score is greater then the negative of character level,
apply that as modifier to roll. (i.e. 3rd level character gets
normal save chance at 0 to 3 hp, if knocked to -4 subtract 4 from the survival
roll.)
Knocked Down: Adjacent foes may get a free attack. Takes a
whole round to get up, anything carried was dropped.
Stunned: incapacitated until a save is made, check at end of
each following round.
Knocked Out: will not revive for 2-7 turns.(20-70 rounds)
Serious Wound: Healing spells under 3rd level
will not restore HP loss from this wound. Stunned until end of next round.
Crippling Wound: Lose limb and 1d4 ability points.
Grievous Wound: Incapacitated. Lose 1 ability point and
helpless for 2-12 weeks, a serious
wound. If an arm or Leg hit make another save or lose the limb in not treated
within duration of recovery( Lose 1 Ability point if limb lost to this wound).
Gonna Die: You are going to die unless someone bandages you up. Lose 1d4 Ability points. Dead in 2-12 rounds. If an arm or Leg hit lose the limb
unless healing magic of 3rd level or higher restores all hp lost to
this wound before rounds are done. Make save to remain conscious during your grim death any actions you take while dying are at-4.
Coma: Knocked out really badly. Immediately lose 1 ability
point. Make a save after each week to recover. For each week in Coma lose 1
Ability point. Only exceptional healing that restores all HP loss to wound on
one roll will relieve coma.
Death: dead right away.
Helm save X or Y: make a helmet save if you have one
on, suffer X on successful save or Y on
failed save.
Shield save X or Y: make a shield save if you have one
on, suffer X on successful save or Y on failed save. Shield save only allowed if attack from shielded side.
Ability Point Loss is permanent unless restored by powerful
magic or super-science.
Arm or Leg wound ability loss is STR or DEX 50/50 either
Torso wound ability score loss is STR or CON 50/50 of either
Head wound ability score loss is INT or WIS 50/50 of either.
Except for coma.
Ability score loss while in coma can come off any ability
score randomly chosen. 1- STR, 2- INT,3-WIS,4-DEX,5-CON, 6-CHA.
Helpless characters may moan and weakly communicate, they
may not take action, or cast spells. Any saves they are forced to make against
attacks in this condition are made with 1d10 rolls instead of d20’s.

Setting a Level for the Wilderness
So what levels are encounters in the wilderness? Really...how tough a hexcrawl or more open wilderness is matters a lot on expectations set up when initially populated. The OD&D wilderness charts were full of party-killers unless folks were name level and/or very large groups as was the Expert booklet version of the game. AD&D was a little softer on folks as it used the monster frequency to some extent, walking from town to town was still pretty dangerous.
An OD&D scale of danger looks like the average wilderness journeyer was about 9th level so there we are level 9 wilderness. This creates issues with expectations of the game but it also explains why dungeons are still out there all the high-level characters are constantly busy clearing the area around their castles but also reduced the plausible likely-hood of going to the market and buying anything.
Let's say you have a half dozen cows you'd like to take to the nearest town to sell, what's the chance you'll survive and get the cows there? If you have a 1 in 6 chance of a risky encounter traveling to a neighboring town and there is a 1 in 12 chance of a red dragon... that's a 1.39% chance of bar-b-q cows., not to mention how likely wolves, bears, orcs, bandits, and trolls are going to eat the cows instead. Maybe the chance of death and destruction on travels sets the crazy D&D prices.
For me the general level of a wilderness/outdoor area is sort fo a solution or at least necessary figure to keep in mind. If a wilderness is setup to be 6th level more then 50% of encounters would be with 6th level/HD or less creatures.

Not exciting but it gets the point, Most likely bumping into a small group of trolls in a level 6 wilderness, not too many wimpy creatures. This isn't a very naturalistic break down...because it's a game. You could go wider of course and play with the dice and ranges a little more.

Keep in mind this is setting level not player level. If you have a 6th level wilderness a walk in the wilds is full of challenging adventures for a 6th level party, a death trap for 1st level, not a substantial threat for 12 level or higher. In such an environment it's easy to tell who the tough guys are, they go outside of heavily patrolled hexes.
An OD&D scale of danger looks like the average wilderness journeyer was about 9th level so there we are level 9 wilderness. This creates issues with expectations of the game but it also explains why dungeons are still out there all the high-level characters are constantly busy clearing the area around their castles but also reduced the plausible likely-hood of going to the market and buying anything.
Let's say you have a half dozen cows you'd like to take to the nearest town to sell, what's the chance you'll survive and get the cows there? If you have a 1 in 6 chance of a risky encounter traveling to a neighboring town and there is a 1 in 12 chance of a red dragon... that's a 1.39% chance of bar-b-q cows., not to mention how likely wolves, bears, orcs, bandits, and trolls are going to eat the cows instead. Maybe the chance of death and destruction on travels sets the crazy D&D prices.
For me the general level of a wilderness/outdoor area is sort fo a solution or at least necessary figure to keep in mind. If a wilderness is setup to be 6th level more then 50% of encounters would be with 6th level/HD or less creatures.
