Equipment Lists: Dashing Garments

I like to use a system of "spend gold to gain XP" in my campaigns, so burgeoning lists of expensive / flashy / silly things for PCs to spend money on are always desirable.

I started work on a list of funny, flamboyant clothing a while back and have just finished it up. What adventurer could resist a wyrm-scaled cashmere codpiece!? (A mere 1,015gp.)

Dolmenwood Travel Events

I've been talking a lot about random encounters in Dolmenwood lately. The various creatures and people that one might meet when on the road or wandering in the woods is only half of the story, however. Another very important and interesting aspect of travel is the places and hazards one may come across.

In my thought on the subject, so far, I've classified the following types of happenings while travelling in the wilderness:
  • The weather changes. Roll on the weather table for the season. This result lasts, more or less, until another "weather changes" result occurs. (Allotting a fixed chance of a change in the weather each day seems like a nice simplification, in place of making an additional roll on a weather table each day.)
  • A mishap or accident occurs.
  • A hazard or natural obstacle is encountered.
  • The spoor of a monster is discovered.
  • An encounter happens.
  • An interesting location is discovered.
(Note that getting lost is not included in the list of possible happenings, at the moment. I might try to integrate it as well, in a future iteration.)
So I'm conceiving a 1d12 roll four times per day. The results of the roll depend on the activity of the party and the terrain they are exploring. Something like this...
