Each useful treasure is buried within a block of bloated narrative boxed text. It takes extra time and effort to find the treasure you need. It is not fast nor easy to use. If you’re looking for a quick reference or a book that you can use on-the-fly at the gaming table, look elsewhere. Super-disappointed in this book.

I bought this years ago and I keep going back to it again and again for intereresting treasures to place in shops or drop in unexpected places. The decriptive text and variety of items is a wonderful tool for any DM who wants to add some detail and variety to their game.

My point of view: Where are the rules that have been used to make that pre-tired treasured, I want that rules. I dislike this book but it’s the best pre-tired treasured book than an ever seen.

Bad point: This is absolutely not a treasure table than de tilt of the book says it, that’s pre-tired treasured agreement with description.

Good point: Good treasure with good description, usable in many situations. Classified by -10 po / 50po / 100 / 500 / 1000 / 5000 / 10 000 / 30 000 / 50 000 / 100 000 and + So usable in many moment.

A whole bunch of premade treasures at roughly the same g.p. value per chart. A useful book full of sometimes very elaborate descriptions. A useful book that will add detail to the loot wrested from monsterous claws. <br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: soemtimes the description goes a little beyond detailign the treasure itself but since i seldom just read the text aloud to players there is not much to that complaint.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Acceptable<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>

The Mother of All Treasure Tables It is always nice to see a product one likes but more importantly to see a pair of companies one likes working together. When I saw Tabletop Games and Necromancer were both involved in this project I knew I just had to get it. It makes it one of those rare books I bought that I review. I just do not have a lot of time to review things I buy but everyone once in a while I have to make an exception to that. Mother of All Treasure Tables was an easy choice for such an exception.

Mother of All Encounter Tables is a good sized book designed by Daniel Brakhage and Vicki Potter. It is available in print and PDF and is one of those collaboration books with ten authors given writing credits. The PDF version has book marks though only each table and not each result is marked. The book has the usual high quality Necromancer lay out and good black and white art inside.

The idea behind the book is rather simple. There are ten tables in here and on each table there are one hundred different variations of treasure. Well, the first nine table have one hundred the last table with its vast amounts only has ten. Each table is around a gold piece value by two percent. The first table is small treasures worth around ten gold pieces, the next fifty gold pieces, the next one hundred gold pieces and the last one being a half million or more. It does not just give one coins and such there is some great descriptions of the different items that are found. What is nice is the treasure here is not magical. That is easy for DM?s to do and add on. This is the more interesting mundane treasures that seem to get ignored. This is a great product for a low or no magic campaign as these treasures will really fit that type of campaign. But even games with magic need treasure troves filled with unusual items that can easily spark an interest in players.

Here is a sample of just one of the treasure descriptions.

You find a cylindrical ivory case, slender and as long as your arm [32 gp]. It holds a roll of thick, high-quality paper. When unrolled, the scroll is nearly four feet long. On it is an exquisite painting of a long-legged water bird with delicate shading in the feathers and in the reeds below [157 gp]. Next to it lies a backpack of mellow golden leather [2 gp] Inside is a folded piece of black silk, which proves to be a slender black dress with laces up the back. It is embroidered all over in large, openwork flowers in a variety of colors [92 gp]. Folded with it is a wide belt of soft black leather [6 gp]. Below, wrapped in a piece of gray wool [2 sp], is a set of three porcelain plaques, each about a hand-span square?their polished white surfaces decorated with delicate renderings of various wildflowers [set 18 gp]. In the bottom of the backpack is a cloth pouch [1 sp] of coins [3 pp, 37 gp, 287 sp, 318 cp], a petite leather pouch [3 sp] with five rose quartz stones [50 gp each] and another cloth pouch [1 sp] holding a bracelet. It is made of carnelian beads, round and smooth in colors ranging from fiery red to nearly cranberry dark [345 gp]. [Total 1,001.58 gp]

As one can read it is well written and has a good amount of detail making these treasures truly remarkable. The book has almost a thousand different treasure troves like that in it. It is a book that one will be hard pressed to fully exhaust.

The Mother of All Treasure Tables is in fact that. It is a simple way for DM?s to place some elaborate treasures into their own game with very little actual work. That makes it a big win in my eyes.<br><br> <b>LIKED</b>: It is well written and easy to use<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

Forget Mercedes/Chrysler and RPGNow/Drivethru, the Mother of all collaborations, Tabletop Adventures LLC and Necromancer Games, have produced The Mother of All Treasure Tables, one of the most useful products for the hurried DM since the last Tabletop?s last edition of Bits and Shards.

Before this 162 pg jewel came across my desk, I was never much for table books. Whereas a majority of table PDFs and books are content with just listing the items that are randomized, The Mother of All Treasure Tables drives its readers down a different detour, most notability the fact that there are no tables. Instead, you get a list of exceptionally descriptive blurbs about the treasure. Within each description there is also the included values of the treasure and the total net worth of the stash.

One of the best features of the book is not its tables but the meaty introduction that many PDFs nowadays have begun to leave out. The intro recommends the usage of the book and explains why there are no magical items included in any of the treasures. It also suggests that whereas this is ideal for a low magic campaign, it can be a refreshing break from distributing the magical item of the week to parties.

The eight tables of treasures under 10,000gp contain 100 entries and the other two, which contain entries of 30,000gp and 50,000 contain 15. Like Tabletops Bits and Shards, the descriptions are dynamically different from one to another, with each bringing a vivid portrayal whether the player is picking a pocket or ciphering through a wardrobe.

For the Low Magic Dungeon Master This is one of the first accessory products that is geared towards the low magic campaign. If you are a DM whom has had a problem sexing up mundane treasure for your party you will want to grab some duct tape and attach yourself to the Mother of All Treasure Tables. The descriptions are not just lengthy but also have the benefit of producing future adventure hooks and inspiration among the party. If you have contemplated adding a magical item or two to a treasure horde to spice it up, buy the Mother of All Treasure Tables first and rediscover how grand mundane items can be.

For the High Magic Dungeon Master Variation is a good thing, and the Mother of All Treasure Tables is real useful in high and normal magic campaigns to introduce that type of good variety. When you do issue out magical items, most of the entries are written with enough of an opening to allow you to take out any mundane item with a similar magical one. For example, I wanted to use the book right away, however, the PCs recently found a psionic horde. I used entry 99 on the 5,000 GP table which describes a strongbox tucked into a wall to protect it from outsiders. It was very easy to snatch out the sundial and other items and put in a couple blobs of good.

The Iron Word Necromancer?s experience with table products combined with the talented writing from the team at Tabletop Adventures makes The Mother of All Treasure Tables one of the most helpful items to be released this year. With over 600 descriptions of treasures of any value, anyone can find a use for this product. The lack of magical items may seem like a hindrance, but it actually makes it more of a benefit because it allows you to add your own magical items or take out the items all together and add the table entry for description purposes. <br><br> <b>LIKED</b>: - top notch writing

• who would have thought that a book of mundane items would be so useful
