This is the read me file for the AD&D 3E Treasure Tables compiled for Tablesmith.

I.  Standard Disclaimer
1. You use the tables at your own risk. This should go without saying. And, given their limited scope there shouldn't BE any risk. However, I'll not take responsibility for any unexpected outcomes due to someone's using these tables.

2. These tables were derived almost (but not entirely) verbatim from the following Wizard's of the Coast 3rd Edition publications:

<> Monster Manual
<> Dungeon Master's Guide

The conversion of these tables here is in no way an attempt to infringe on those copyrights. In their current format, these tables are neither published nor endorsed by Wizard's of the Coast, Inc who own the intellectual copyright to the original material. No charge or fee is requested or expected for these tables. And since you'll need to have access to (in other words, "own") the AD&D 3E Dungeon Master's Guide and Monster Manual in order to make any practical use of these tables, these are meant only as a convenience to owners of that original source. Dungeons and Dragons and D&D are trademarks of Wizards of the Coast, Inc.


II.  Adding the Encounter Tables to your Tables Folder

1. Extract or place ALL the encounter tab files into the "~Reference" folder EXCEPT:
    > WildernessEncounters.tab
    > CaravanGenerator.tab
2. Extract or place the above two files into a folder called "Adventuring" or whichever folder you place those tables you want to be able to run for various encounters.

Note: Don't forget to click on the reset icon before trying to run the tables.


III. Tablesmith
1. Tablesmith is a shareware program generously developed and provided by Bruce Gulke. Notice I said shareware and NOT freeware. If you use his program  for more than a week or two for evaluation, please send him the very reasonable $5.00 he's requested for the program's registration. He's certainly earned it by providing such a valuable tool. Bruce can be reached at by sending email to akira@mythosa.net


2. You can obtain the Tablesmith program from htt://www.mythosa.net. Once there, click on the RPG Utilities link and look for the most recent edition of Tablesmith.


IV.  Notes on the tables.
I'd appreciate feedback - particularly about blatant errors in these tables - but PLEASE don't contact me requesting advice on creating tables for Tablesmith. If you start needing that level of help, register the program with Bruce Gulke (see above) and contact him. I can be reached for general questions as at awmarker@rcn.com or visit our website http://www.breminor.com/default.htm.


V. Remember, the copyright to the content belongs to Wizards of the coast, Inc. (http://www.wizards.com), and the program these tables run on belongs to Bruce Gulke. Please do not do anything with these tables that would infringe on the copyrights of these owners. By all means, buy the AD&D 3E materials and register Tablesmith with Bruce.

VI. Special thanks to Vance Reed for debugging several of the subtables.
