Wow! Then that spellbook found in the haunted house of U1 might be worth a pretty penny if the players can find a suitable buyer. If they didn't feel like they were getting good market value, maybe the could host an auction as a roleplaying opportunity.

I appreciate the input.

Let's say my PCs recovered an NPC's spellbook. It contains 1st and 2nd level spells, 3 of each. How much would this typically sell for under normal circumstances? I couldn't find a rules reference. Thanks.

Yeah, Saltmarsh.

Oh right, 1d6 for BFRPG. I may stick to BFRPG just to practice at those rates.

I plan to run U1 tomorrow. The haunted house calls for random encounters on a 1 out of 12 every turn. How would this compare with BFRP since the module is AD&D?

Thanks for the numbered sequence...

I am looking for some clarifications on movement rates. A Combat Round is 10 seconds long. How far can a PC or monster move during a combat round? Is this the number referenced on bestiary references? For PCs I am right now under the impression this is 40' (depending on encumbrance), but I'm not sur...

Could anyone give me a sequential order play listing the mechanics when it comes to things like monsters and PCs noticing each other? As a referee, I want to confidently be able to determine if the PCs and the monsters notice each other, rules as written. Page references would be handy. Here are som...
