MoaTT is now available at Drivethru!

I hate all the freakin acronyms. Every year there are more to remember because some new book came out. I should get college credits for knowing this new language.

While I will use acronyms in discussions on forums, I make sure that I use the full word at least once, unless it's obvious from the context. In a thread about "The Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil" I won't feel restrained from referring to RttToEE. If I'm referring to it in a thread about favorite 3.0 adventures, I'll spell it out. The only ones I'll use cold are the standard, overused ones (IIRC, for example).

Nope. It's "Molemen Ogling a Terriffic Teen." Kinda kinky.

Couldn't be that, though--Ogling isn't a common enough word to warrant the lowercase 'o'

It almost qualifies as AFLA. Almost.

It almost qualifies as AFLA. Almost.

Unfortunately, it is just OLTL though.

A haiku:

MoaTT
Don't know what it might stand for?
Buy it on pure faith.

MoaTT
Treasure tables have a mom
Single parenthood?

MoaTT
I must assign random loot
Get my money's worth!

MoaTT
d10,000 just might help
Need a big dice bag!

MoaTT
is now available at
DriveThru RPG!

Haiku - excellent. However, if you don't want to buy it on pure faith, perhaps I can help.

The Mother of All Treasure Tables is published by Necromancer Games. It is currently available as a PDF from DriveThru RPG, but can be accessed right from EN Game Store through their new arrangement. (Don't ask me about that part!) It is 162 pages, and an 18.8 MB download.

There was no single parenthood for this book - it is published by Necromancer, but written by Tabletop Adventures. We had 16 people (mostly freelancers) help create this baby!

I definitely think it's possible to get your money's worth from this book. There are almost 700 treasure sets. (That's an average of 2.9 cents per treasure for the PDF version.) These could be combined into 10,000,000,000,000,000 (10 quadrillion) possible combinations of treasures below 100,000gp in value. Plus we included a few over 100,000 gp in value, just because every game needs the possibility of really big piles of treasure at some point.

Although there are long lists of treasures, we divided them up to make it easiest for a GM to use the book. The only dice you'll need are one set of percentile dice and one d20.

I'm really tempted to go into a lot more detail here, but instead I'll point you to the product section of the Necromancer Games forum. The entire introduction is posted there, along with information on the primary writers and other tidbits. However, I'll be happy to answer any questions ya'll may have here.

Oh, and just to make things difficult - we at TTA nicknamed the product MATT. We've typed it way too many times in the past year to bother putting an extra letter in all the time.
