All the Treasures of the World: GEMS

Wow - in a mere 12 pages (and only $2!) , FMG has published what I consider the best GEM supplement available.

These tables are more than a mere 'the gem is worth x gp'. This goes into size, quality, color, and more allowing a GM to give detailed descriptions within a few moments even when completely unprepared.

Although this uses the gold piece as a money base as many RPGs do, I can easily use this with my HackMaster game by substituting the silver piece in for the gold.

If the 'jewels' pdf (which I've already bought) is as good as this, these guys will be getting a few more of my dollars for adventures.

I have had a strong interest in gemology since perusing the gems table in my 5th edition Tunnels & Trolls rulebook (the game that got me into RPGs originally) and wondering (a) exactly what certain gem types actually are and (b) how their relative value is determined. For others who are curious about these things, I can't recommend this product enough. Even if you're not interested in the details of gemology, and just want more detail in the descriptions of gems that your characters are acquiring, this is still an excellent product, and a great bargain for its price. If you're not willing to be convinced by a review, then download the free sample product and decide for yourself.

I'm eagerly awaiting future volumes in the All the Treasures of the World series to see what other brilliance the people at Faster Monkey Games will reveal to us.

I am proud to be geologist and a gamer with more then a passing interest in gemology. Whenever my players find a treasure trove they can expect precious minerals making up a fair share of the hoard. Given my background I knew I would either love or loathe this product, after reading it through I can happily say I'm of the former opinion. AtTotW: Gems is more then just a list that could be found on a wikipedia page. I especially enjoyed the identification guidelines,as well as the suggestions for misidentified goods. The systems are simple enough that they can easily be dropped into any game that uses the classic Gold / Silver standard, without any conversion needed. It's nice to have a guideline for the price of a princess cut diamond in GP. it might just be that GEMS is so perfectly suited for someone with my interests, but I have to say i am impressed by this release.

Is it possible that Faster Moneky is spying on it's customers?
