Here's my tinkering with the layout, still not perfect

I'd love to see this get a print release, once the formatting gets all the kinks out.

Likewise.
I think that rather than spend a lot of time on formatting at this stage, the supplement would be better served by the accumulation of artwork that supports it. There ought to be a ton of copyright free pieces to cover the majority of equipment. This would up the page count considerably and would be usable to assist in fixing areas of whitespace and otherwise in logical spots to break up sections nicely.

In that regard can I draw your attention to Footprints issue #18, pp 35-43?

Nice, and noted that the equipment is all open content. Thanks for the link!

Well, it's open OSRIC content but I hereby consent to its use in the Equipment Emporium for BFRPG.

Um, sorry... it would have to be declared as Open Game Content for us to use it; otherwise, I'll have to revise the license agreement. If it's not OGC, then for our purposes it's Product Identity.

Cost needs a value, either gold, silver, or copper. I'm assuming the price is gold but I'm not certain.

It has the normal OGL just in a different format.

Thank you pinewood, fixed it. Please PM me your name so I can add you as a proof reader.

I also did the following:

pg 2 paragraph one
Current - If you there is a specific type of weapon you want your character to have, look for the closest match; the GM is the final arbiter.

Changed to - If there is a specific type of weapon you want your character to have, look for the closest match; the GM is the final arbiter.


Pg 3 paragrahs between tables
Current - ** This weapon only does subdual damage – see BFRPG Core Rules, p. 48.

Changed to - ** This weapon only does subduing damage – see BFRPG Core Rules, p. 48.

Change to match wording in Core Rules
Same for paragraphs after Range Table.


pg 11 Hooded Lantern cost from 12 to 14 to match core rules.

Signal Whistle cost from 8 sp to 1 gp to match core rules.

Tent, small (one man) from 5 gp to 3 gp to match core rules.

Added weights for items in the first equipment list.

Increased price for 64 page travel spellbook to 50 gp from 25 gp. Since this is half the size of the larger spellbook I thought this should be half the cost too. Also this reflects a closer cost to the cost of the paper alone.

Increased cost of book from 8 gp to 12 gp to reflect true cost of paper (1 gp/page) a book uses a half page of paper per book page.

Increased cost of tome from 16 gp to 25 gp to reflect true cost of paper (1 gp/page) a tome uses a full page of paper per tome page.

Pg 14 added gp to listing for Travel Alter per request from pinewood.

Pg 16
Under Chess sets:

Was - Quality sets can go much higher in cost.
Changed to - Quality sets made from exotic materials can go much higher in cost.

Under Musical instruments:
Was - Cover a wind range of music-making devices.
Changed to - Cover a wide range of music-making devices.

I made a lot of formatting changes throughout.

Attached is the ODT and PDF of Version 8. Could someone please review it and post corrections, hard to do editing on pages I helped write. I will also be sending a copy to Solo for approval.

I've got a request into an artist to do a cover, I'll post it as soon as I have it available. My daughter did the Leprechaun illustration in Field Guide 2 and I asked her to do a cover for this book too.
