The Lazy RPG Podcast - D&D and RPG News and GM Prep from Sly Flourish
Blood Magic โ€“ Dragon Empire Prep Session 10

Oh, let me show it. So this is like the treasure bundle section that's inside the Tales of the Valiant Game Master's Guide. And it's based on parcels or based on like a bundle. And the bundle is given out across the entire range of levels. So you give all of these things out across all of levels one, two and three. And the problem that I have with that is it's stateful.

I have to remember the stuff that I gave before and I have to remember the stuff that I'm going to give later. And I sort of build like a treasure parcel checkbox and then check things off. But the trick with that is like... Then I have to remember how much gold I gave out in each one and it all has to add up to 60, right? Or the same with the other ones.

Instead of having like a mixed parcel, I'm more likely to want to just check off a box. What I would prefer and what I probably am going to do is what I refer to as a stateless treasure parcel, which is a treasure parcel that makes sense for one session of the game. I either give it or I don't, because remember, you don't always have to give everything out all the time.

But I just kind of randomly roll some items up. And then those are the items that I can give out or give some of it out, depending on what makes sense. But I sort of have this like little list. And that's what I have in my treasure parcel generator. So I have this like lazy game master level one to four treasure hoard, which is a modification of...

mostly built off of the level up advanced 5e treasure hoard system, but also actually a little bit more like the 2014 treasure hoard system as well. And it always offers up a uncommon, like when you're doing one to four, it always offers up at least one uncommon magic item and one uncommon permanent magic item and one uncommon consumable magic item. So you'll see all of them does this, right?

Or they at least has the chance to do it. And, you know, like this is a good one. And then it drops a pile of treasure. And the treasure here, I think, is a little bit higher than they might get normally in a Tales of Valiant treasure parcel. But I don't think it matters. And the nice thing is I just grab it. So I roll it in my random generator.

The random generator is available to patrons of Sly Flourish. And I roll that random generator up, and then I drop it into my notes. And I've got my parcel. And I can now ignore this during the game. They could get it or not, depending on whether or not it makes sense for them to get treasure. I can give them some of it. I can give them all of it. And the next session, I roll a different set.
