The Party is laden with lucre from their forays into a dismal Dungeon when who should they see smiling in the sun as they surface but a convenient Trader!
I love it when these itinerant tycoons show up on Random Encounters, and this table will hopefully provide some inspiration on what they are up to.
In terms of wares the Basic Fantasy Equipment Emporium is very useful for some additional ideas for Trade Goods/more unusual item prices. I tend to re-purpose the trusty Reaction Roll table a lot in my games, and it makes a handy haggling subsystem too:
| 2d6 | Result |
|---|---|
| 2 or less | Refuses to deal (packs up and leaves) |
| 3-5 | Insulted: Increase prices by 50% |
| 6-8 | Prices normal |
| 9-11 | Decrease prices by 25% |
| 12 or more | Impressed: Decrease prices by 50% |
Naturally, you can feel free to adjust prices however you see fit based on other extenuating market factors, but this can make for a quick way to spice up transactions.
