Clone Project:Treasure Table II, Fixed

Here's what I now have for Treasure Table II (used for monster-specific dungeons or wilderness encounters.)

              Any 3   Any 2   Any 4   Any 1  d20 > 15 = magic item
                              +P, S          P=potion S=scroll
                                             otherwise, roll for
                                             magic item type

(Man, the things you have to do to get Blogger to display tables in a vaguely correct format...)

There will be tables listing sub-types for the Avg (Average Trove) and Cache types, which will allow approximation of the original treasure types. There will be a couple extra sub-types on each table. However, I'm thinking of reserving these tables for the main text and only putting this and Treasure Table I into the cheat sheets.

  1. Try to simply copy-paste tables from Word/OOffice/Pages/whatever you are using to write ;)

  2. Copying tables from a word processor app to Blogger never really works: the tables don't format right, unless you go in and tweak CSS manually for a couple hours. Especially if you have more than two or three columns... and plain text -- which is what I write in -- won't stay pre-formatted inside <pre> tags; Blogger ignores the lf-cr and puts everything on one big long line.

    What I had to do to get that table was wrap each individual line in separate <pre> tags.

  3. Why not create a graphic version of the table instead of text-only?

  4. I've seen other people (like Alexis of Tao of D&D) do that, but I'm not convinced I like it, since it makes the text uncopiable.
