MODIFIED RANDOM TREASURE TABLES FOR B1

 

In my previous post, I mentioned my own method for randomly determining treasure in B1 by using the treasure tables provided by the module and by deconstructing the 4D6 die roll (or with fewer dice) to arrive at a more diversity in the results narrated to my players.

To recapitulate, roll the multiple of dice indicated. Add the dice rolled for all combinations of one, two, three and four dice. Reduce coinage by a factor of ten when the maximum result listed is in excess of 100 coins.

This post is to present those random treasure tables actually as described. Remember that you can key the areas according to how large you want the described treasure to be: minor treasure D6, major treasure 2D6, minor hoard 3D6, major hoard 4D6. (When in doubt, roll D4 to determine the size of the treasure find.)
