This book has two sections, the 24+ pages of treasure tables (for that quick monty haul) and the 43 detailed magical treasures rich in history and cult
specifics. I've already said more about the tables than they deserve, so I'll focus the rest of the write-up on the treasures. Most are extremely rare or unique, but a few classics like Rhino Fat and Chaos Slime are
more accessible. Greg has said the Inhuman King version of the dragonewt skin 25 point armor doesn't exist, but YGMV. A variety of obscure heroes like Barjora (Humakt's pal), Hortaga Dash (mistress
race troll), Gazhmen (belt of fire giant strength), Zackhorn, Mazta (air spirit), Mazoo (vampire),Tora, Scala (rhino rider), Wantoo, Nosmas (wigmaker), and Minanen could be great fodder for writers. Of all the items
herein, pity the Lunars, they get sweaters. Some Lunar nobles are lucky enough to have one for every day of the week. Once again Rick Becker did a few pictures, which help. If you like Plunder items, Rudy
wrote more in Pegasus magazine. Only a few of the items have been reprinted in Borderlands and Tales, and the fourth volume of Gloranthan Classics. The anorexic woman in a skimpy outfit on the cover harkens back to
the early days of the hobby.
Stay tuned, this will get reprinted with Borderlands and Runemasters in the summer of 2003.
