Dark Sun Random Cargo Table

First post in a while, let's not make a big thing out of it.

This isn't brain surgery, just the list of cargoes from the Dune Trader supplement, hammered into percentile table form. I attempted to put some weight on the cargoes that a) were listed on the big Trade Route Map from that supplement, or b) I thought merited them.
For a single caravan: My rule of thumb for the moment is d6-2 cargoes (minimum of 1).

4-5 Armor
6-7 Beer

Generating a cargo or two can tell you a lot about the caravan shipping it - whether it's a ponderous mekillot train bearing salt and hardwoods, or a swift crodlu phalanx carrying spices and silver (and maybe some spell components disguised as lunch, who knows?).

Sage Advice under a Dark Sun (or, "Yes, Virginia, there IS a Dragon!")

Here'e a handy-dandy link: All the "Sage Advice" Q&As (mostly Dark Sun-related) from Dragon #182 (not pictured above).

First session of our Dark Sun game, tonight. Utterly surreal to be running 2nd Edition, again (it's been 15 years or so) rather than our usual mish-mash of Basic, 1e and HackMaster. Should be interesting.

Adventures in The Google (nonsense post)

Heh. Apparently when you do an image search for "blackleaf nooo", Mighty Thews comes up on the first page. That is all.

P.S.: If it's been a bit sparse around here, I'm currently in my last quarter of school and juggling music on top of it - not a lot of time for gaming, lately. We got a round or two of Mordheim in the other week, and I'm actually running 2nd Edition next week? (Dark Sun? That might generate a post or two.) And Paranoia the following weekend. But I'm not promising anything.

P.P.S.: So there's some actual content, here's a map of every D&D world on one globe. Probably compressed to shit, good luck with that.
