[QUOTE="IronWolf, post: 2472114, member: 21076"] I don't have a chart or anything, it really depends on the town in question. Since mundane items are by definition common items they are often available readily. Longswords are needed for the town guard or even just to hand out to some semi-trained impromptu militia. A horse cart is probably available as its how folks move goods from the fields to the town and back again. Even a ruby may not be that hard to track down, unless the town is really, really poor. As for the slightly more exotic items it depends on the size of the town and whether their is any reason for them to have such a thing. An exotic war saddle in a small town, probably not. But they might have connections to get it from a big city if they are on a trade route. If they are just a farmer town then they probably won't even have those connections. Flying beast of burden? Probably only available in the larger cities and depending on them may not even in all of them. So in my worlds it comes down to the history, size and background of the town or city in question more so than a random chart. If there seems to be a reason for the item to be there or why one might have access to it then the party can probably find it. Otherwise there may be some more work involved. [/QUOTE]
