Default GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Treasures 1: Glittering Prizes

We opened the chest
To find coin bearing The Mark
But gold is gold, right?
— A cursed man
The essence of GURPS Dungeon Fantasy is slaying monsters and taking their stuff. Until now, though, the monsters (lurking in GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Monsters 1 and 2) have filled more supplements than the loot (stashed in GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 8: Treasure Tables). We can't have that! That's why we're kicking off the new GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Treasures series.

The inaugural volume, GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Treasures 1: Glittering Prizes, offers the GM a wealth of new ways to tempt adventurers with cash, going into great detail on the composition, size, and appearance of not just coins made from precious metals but also nearly anything else that might count as money – including some things that don't look the part. As well, it expands on what Treasure Tables has to say about costly fabrics, remarkable materials, decorative motifs, and cultures of origin. In short, it transforms a pile of plunder from a $ value and a collection of generic items into a find that requires a little thought (and possibly an adventure!) to count, spend, or sell. And some of these valuables are better kept than traded, whether because they're intrinsically useful or because they're magical, while others are best left where they were found . . .

Everybody loves a good haul of booty! Drop some of your real-world coin on Glittering Prizes and you won't be disappointed.
