Re: Random OD&D Dungeon Solo Play Report #4 - The Adventures of Graf the Warrior
Thank you for pointing out the LBBs. So the gem valuation seems straight forward, but it's confusing because it says that for every gem (or group of 5 or 10) roll a d6 and on a 1, its value is one level higher.

Re: Random OD&D Dungeon Solo Play Report #4 - The Adventures of Graf the Warrior
I created entirely new tables. The monster one is not terribly impressive, but the treasure one involved a deep analysis and complete rebuild. I basically compressed it to two separate charts (not counting the 'treasure is contained in' and 'protected by' charts). I don't know how to format a chart ...
