Part 7 of the BX Companion Deep Dive is on Treasure.  Really, this is why the characters adventure, to get sweet loot!  Does the Companion rules fit in well with the original BX or should we use what the Rules Cyclopedia gives us?  There may be a surprise here and there.

The quest for this deep dive is simple - Will this rules set work for expanding play beyond the 14th level cap in the original B/X rules or make a mess of things?  Is it different enough from the Rules Cyclopedia that one should use it instead of the former?  Listen along with me over the next several podcasts to see what the outcome will be.

The format of this deep dive was inspired by Rob C of the Down in a Heap podcast. This series of podcasts was started from a general comment and (sorta) challenge from Jason of the Nerd's RPG Variety Cast podcast.
