For instance, 2000 CP would be redone as 1000 CP plus 1d1000, reading triple 0 as zero, so 1,000 to 1,999; a hoard of 2500 GP would be 2400 plus 1d100.

They're like a modern TV reference made by a character - total believability breaker.<br /><br />Second, my players like the chance to do the roll. It's a bit of nice tension - will they roll high or low? And a bit social - "Never let Johnn roll, he's got bad luck." {Johnn snatches the dice and rolls a 2. Everyone groans and renews vows to never let Johnn roll for treasure.}Johnn Fourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01454767774433932567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-8365487552885013962015-05-17T10:30:16.238-04:002015-05-17T10:30:16.238-04:00Ironic response, as you assume too much.

Knowing JM's love of Holmes Basic I wouldn't be surprised if his use of 2000 cp was intentionally referencing that. Plus almost every treasure in that dungeon is an even 100 or 1000 pieces.Zenopus Archiveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14069501995927451558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-21632326807408250512015-05-16T23:05:22.208-04:002015-05-16T23:05:22.208-04:00I see!I see!Doc Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08783244633195233970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-9403685583276941512015-05-16T21:22:35.572-04:002015-05-16T21:22:35.572-04:00http://www.tenkarstavern.com/2012/10/ambition-avar...http://www.tenkarstavern.com/2012/10/ambition-avarice-session-recap-closing.html<br /><br />http://wondrousimaginings.blogspot.com/2012/10/played-dwimmermount-last-night-sucked.htmlTenkarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05159289652051155824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-10170885997133788872015-05-16T20:47:18.231-04:002015-05-16T20:47:18.231-04:00I don't get it.
