Your players have defeated the monster, collected the reward and asked the question you prepared least for: “What’s for sale?”
Merchants, Markets, and Dubious Deals helps you answer with something worth buying.
Part of the Tabletop Toolkit series, this practical, system-neutral book gives Game Masters memorable sellers, distinctive merchandise and deals that can end in a satisfying purchase. Complications are available. They are not compulsory.
Inside you’ll find:
• 80 random tables covering markets, merchants, merchandise, objects with a history, strange stock, negotiations and life after the purchase.
• 202 substantial item entries, from clever mundane equipment and affordable second-hand finds to tempting luxuries and minor enchantments with clear limitations.
• Knowledgeable craftspeople, reliable traders and sellers whose idea of a bargain deserves closer inspection.
• Barter, credit, auctions, commissions, guarantees, delivery and repairs, with prices you can adapt to your campaign.
• Six ready-to-use specialist stalls, worked examples, practical advice and record sheets for remembering who bought what.
Build a shopping scene in four steps: choose a merchant, offer something useful, something tempting and something unusual, establish the price, then add a complication if you want one.
Fantasy provides the starting point, with guidance for adapting the material to other settings. Plain-language descriptions explain what an item does and why the party might want it, without tying it to a particular rules system.
For the Game Master whose players inspect every stall, negotiate over every coin and somehow leave with the one object nobody budgeted for.
Because sometimes the mysterious merchant really does just sell excellent socks.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
