Can you provide me with the page numbers for the Ready Ref Sheets that offer an idea of the monster's lair that I just rolled? Generate according to: Cool! I'm loving how they celebrate victory. * What is that lair for that monster I just rolled that happens to be in it because I just rolled that too? There's a few pages in the Ready Ref Sheets (pp. 39-42) for this to give you an idea. * What are the monsters doing right this second, as opposed to a general purpose? Taking a nap, eating, roaming, copulating? There's a table on Trollsmyth's blog in the hex crawling series (http://trollsmyth.blogspot.com/2011/09/hex-mapping-part-17.html) that has this idea. * How is that treasure contained? In a bag, hidden by invisibility, trapped? The old Monster and Treasure Assortment has tables for this at the front of the book. * Have you ever considered the random dungeon stocking table in the Basic Set as a way of organizing all these for publication? Essentially, it boils dungeons down to the elements of room, monster, trap, special (Mentzer Basic, oddly, is a good source of ideas for traps and specials), and treasure. A lot of that (treasure containers, traps, treasure content) and monster types, are dealt with in the d30 DM companion. I know about the monster and traps tables (I use the monster ones a lot), but it was an organizational idea, rather than three separate projects. As for containers, you have scroll cases and potion vials but not (gets to index) well, uh, page 13. I totally stand corrected, and turn many shades of King Crimson. Cool. More d30 fun tables! BTW, I noticed a typo on BSK2, #10. It lists "hands" twice. Should be "head, hands & feet"? I'll fix it in the original, but the download is likely to keep the typo for now.
