GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 8: Treasure Tables

[Kromm]

Silver and gold coins:
What could be better than that?
Let Riggsby show you!

— Some hack

E23 just released GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 8: Treasure Tables, the latest in the GURPS Dungeon Fantasy lineup. At 64 pages, it's the series' biggest item yet! Which is fitting, because it describes loot, where more is usually better. This is old-school table-rolling goodness, my friends. It covers everything from bits of rope, ordinary sticks, and some dead guy's boots . . . through finery, silverware, and luxury commodities . . . to Artifacts o' Power™. What's perhaps coolest is that it addresses modifying items: they can be intricately shaped and stylized, made of remarkable materials, bejewelled, enchanted, supernaturally embellished, and possibly even cursed. So if you've always wanted a fine, icy tempered-glass broadsword, set with peridot and etched with a squid motif, that chimes when swung . . . well, now you have a tiny chance of finding one at random, and can easily work out the price to commission one (if the GM and the Squid Gods let you!).

Fabulous, Kromm!! Can't wait to get it! Thanks again for this (marvelous) series of pdfs!
And I'm a big fan of that Riggsby Hack.

Huzzah! *rushes out to buy it*

[Ego Archive]

Woot!

Now to go get the treasurey goodness.

[thulben]

Bought it and scanned it over lunch. I have to say that there are a *lot* of really good ideas in there. I'll be using this this Saturday. Boring treasure no more!

[Collective_Restraint]

Perused it at lunch too. Pretty neat, it's definitely one of the best DF to date. This just screams for a web-based game-aid to automatically generate loot.

Cool.

But this release deserves a cheerful celebration in DF 9: Taverns!

DF9 is currently slated to be Summoners. Taverns will likely be #10.

Well, ****. Summoners was one I was probably going to pass on, but I think that Taverns would be much more useful to starting a game up.

Ah well... I'll probably break down and buy it anyway.

A definite thumbs up to Matt (TBC). I should also note the considerable list of mundane gear, making this even more akin to early versions of D&D, where every item of clothing was listed on your sheet.
