Finally, time for the article whose idea prompted this entire series. This is much more detailed than the core “plus 1,200 gp worth of jewelry” entries in the treasure tables… but not particularly different. Wearable jewelry is typically fairly light, all things considered. ‘Heavy earrings’, according to a bit of research, …
I just realized something about my last two posts. If I take the ‘jewelry system’ from the previous post and I modify the exponential values table I see something interesting happen. What if gems scale by one rate and jewelry by another? Specifically, gem value is multiplied by five every six …
I’ve spent a lot of time talking about gems, including how to increase their value (or not) and alternate means of determining their value.

Back in June I wrote some ideas of new rules for gems. I started with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game rules for gems, which provide standard values and some variation. I wanted a little more detail, though, so I drafted a table that separated ‘size’ and ‘quality’ so they could each be rolled with …

One of the first comments I got regarding the post suggested ‘uncut’ as one of the low-quality entries. I hadn’t previously considered gem cutting because I was focusing on the end result, …
Creighton Broadhurst of Raging Swan Press (I like Raging Swan products) wrote a post last week about Gygax On… Treasure, speaking mostly of how most treasures are likely to consist of a collection of varied but valuable items, rather than a simple chest full of coin or pouch of gems. Coins and gems …

(In draft) I’m expanding the list of traits so it includes the core domains (which include alignments and elements, as well as major societal abstractions). This both expanded the sorts of traits available (which …
