Randomizing Parcel Content

[swest]

How do people handle Treasure Parcels that include wording like:

The hidden cashbox contains 50-100 gp, depending on the day's business.

Or other, similarly random, values for coinage, or even random numbers of other items?

By using a table which is outputted to a parcel.

if this occurs a lot in your campaign, then set up different tables to do random rolls, just like random monster encounters. really easy to do.

if it's something called for once or twice and doesn't come up again, just roll a quick die (in your particular case: do a % -- reroll anything below 50). simple.

i think i boils down to how much of this process you'd enjoy as gm lol

You know, I wondered what that 'output' field was all about.

That is exactly what I was looking for, but didn't realize it was right in front of me.


Thanks, guys.
