(I used to, when I was younger and had more time.)Here's the nice thing about this system: While the parcel system balances treasure allocation over an entire level consisting of 10 or so encounters, the random system balances allocation per treasure, meaning you don't have to spend as much time planning out treasure an entire level at a time. You can trust to statistical averages to handle roughly appropriate allocation for you. This is a good feature for a group that frequently changes party composition.I'm not saying this should replace the parcel system, but it's a useful option for certain cases.And as I mentioned earlier, I also like the callback to 1e treasure types with the random rolls.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
