Default Pyramid issue with calculated Treasure

Anyone recall the issue of pyramid (fairly recent) with the article by Chrisopher Rice where he develops a method for awarding loot? I think it took place after his CR article.

On a related note, is there a method to search the contents of, or maybe a list of the contents of pyramid articles besides going to the store, clicking on each issue and reading the cover etc.?

Over on the Pyramid sub-forum RogerBW maintains a Pyramid Index.

Yeah... but that list is only helpful if you remember the name of the article or author (and then don't mind slogging through all their articles looking for it) or the article has a very convenient name.

If you already own the issue, most OS-based searches can search the interior of PDF files. Save all of your Pyramids in one directory and you can search them easily. (Doesn't help if it's an issue you lack, of course, but it's a useful tool.)

You can usually do the search with a PDF Reader too; Adobe Acrobat can do it, I'm pretty sure foxit reader can, and certainly there will be others. Sumatra can't, but it's deliberately lightweight.

It wasn't Pyramid. It was on my blog. See here.

Next, multiply the modified CER value by $5 (or 0.005% of starting wealth if the TL is different)
That math looks suspicious. It should either be multiplied by 0.005 or 0.5%, right?

Yeah, should be 0.5%.
