[QUOTE="UngainlyTitan, post: 5347205, member: 28487"] The fact that its Dark Sun is somewhat immaterial. The treasure parcel generally represents what the party gets when they strip the place or anything of value. But that will not all that is there of value the rest is not junk but stuff that is not portable or of direct use to a small group of people. Now if you are a member of an elf tribe, or halfling band or part of a large caravan them more stuff is of value since you have the means to utilise more of what you have found. Either by having people to make stuff using the scavenge materials of the town or the transport to carry the bulky stuff to somewhere that might pay for it. The thing is not so much to discourage the players from searching the town but if you greatly exceed the treasure system then the DM will run into problems with encounter balance at a later time. Now of course in Dark Sun survival resourses are also important and one can be as generous or as mean as one likes in this department and a thorough search should yield more of this type of resource.
