This is a great resource to add detail around gems in any fantasy role-playing game. There are multiple layers you can add on depending on how much complexity you wish to add. You can start with just the gem types by base values and the gem descriptions and add on variations in size and quality if you want more details. There are also rules for evaluating gems (including how to handle fakes) and buying and selling. There is a lot of value in this supplement for the low price.

Picked up both ALL THE TREASURES OF THE WORLD: GEMS & ALL THE TREASURES OF THE WORLD: JEWELS Not only is it fun to roll up gems and jewellery or use as inspiration for some particularly evocative treasure but also use it to flavour magic items or even just a motif for a particular treasure hoard Roll up a few themes and patterns and tie all the treasure, items mundane and art in a dungeon together with a theme

Like the details on the size & quality of the gems to really bring the descriptions home.

I have had a strong interest in gemology since perusing the gems table in my 5th edition Tunnels & Trolls rulebook (the game that got me into RPGs originally) and wondering (a) exactly what certain gem types actually are and (b) how their relative value is determined. For others who are curious about these things, I can't recommend this product enough. Even if you're not interested in the details of gemology, and just want more detail in the descriptions of gems that your characters are acquiring, this is still an excellent product, and a great bargain for its price. If you're not willing to be convinced by a review, then download the free sample product and decide for yourself.

I'm eagerly awaiting future volumes in the All the Treasures of the World series to see what other brilliance the people at Faster Monkey Games will reveal to us.

I am proud to be geologist and a gamer with more then a passing interest in gemology. Whenever my players find a treasure trove they can expect precious minerals making up a fair share of the hoard. Given my background I knew I would either love or loathe this product, after reading it through I can happily say I'm of the former opinion. AtTotW: Gems is more then just a list that could be found on a wikipedia page. I especially enjoyed the identification guidelines,as well as the suggestions for misidentified goods. The systems are simple enough that they can easily be dropped into any game that uses the classic Gold / Silver standard, without any conversion needed. It's nice to have a guideline for the price of a princess cut diamond in GP. it might just be that GEMS is so perfectly suited for someone with my interests, but I have to say i am impressed by this release.

Is it possible that Faster Moneky is spying on it's customers?
