[Cassandra]

Editor’s Choice - from Table IX: 50,000 Gold Pieces

The final 'choice' treasure has been posted, from Table IX: 50,000 Gold Pieces. This piece is the Editor’s Choice – the editor’s favorite treasure of the hundreds that crossed her desk.

The thread of all the preview pieces can be found here on EN World or on Martin Ralya's Treasure Tables forum. The entire set of Choice Treasures can also be found on the Necromancer Games forum.

The Mother of All Treasure Tables is shipping this week!

In other news, the anticipated shipping date for MATT is now October 25.

This is actually the date that the product should appear on the Kenzer and Company web store. It should arrive in stores before that, but we want to give the brick and mortar stores a chance to sell it first, before it goes online.

My bad. The Kenzer website says "Available as of...". I'm the one who misquoted it.

Pardon me while I go jump up and down a bit.

I am reliably informed that The Mother of All Treasure Tables is now available in stores, and that the books look very good. If your local store doesn't have it yet, ask! I also hear that the treasures are already inspiring GMs with ideas for adventures - which is excellent, as far as we're concerned!

The Mother of all Treasure Tables™ is now available at the Kenzer & Company web store, and Necromancer Games has posted a preview there. It includes the introduction and table of contents, and also three pages of text which have not appeared in any of the other previews.

Usefulness of MATT touted on podcast

The OgreCave podcast talked about The Mother of All Treasure Tables in a recent episode. (The podcast was done October 29, but not posted on their web site until November 17.) This episode included Mike Sugarbaker, Allan Sugarbaker and Chris Hanrahan, and one of them (Allan, I believe) had comments about The Mother of All Treasure Tables:

...it is just an exceptionally useful resource for fantasy Game Masters, particularly D&D. But it could be used for other games as well. It just goes through and makes massive lists of basic treasure and it will go into great detail. This box contains a painting. The painting is of this. Underneath that there is a folded linen shirt that has a black dagger. The dagger looks like this. It gives values for each thing.... It goes way up into Epic level disgusting treasure hoards and it does this for every category of pointage of wealth that you want your players to find. Just picking and choosing little bits out of each of these treasures and making your own treasure hoard is useful enough. This extremely useful resource and I think it’s one of the few books that brags that it might be the most useful thing you buy this year, and might be right.
