GOOD BARON DAVE’S

CATALOG OF SUNDRIES, VOLUME 1

 

Good Baron Dave’s Catalog Of Sundries, Vol. 1 is a list of additional equipment, items, and services for 3rd Edition.

DESCRIPTIONS:

 

Adventuring Gear And Luxury Items:

 

Abacus: A common archaic counting instrument.

MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS:

 

Music Box: A wind up, gear fueled, device that’s music is pre-set by mechanical means. Most music boxes are very ornate in design and typically also used to hold jewelry. A few may have gear driven figurines (usually dancers) that turn in circles and such as the music plays (usually this is located where the jewelry storage would normally be).

 

Organ Box: Argued by many bards as whether or not it’s worthy of being called an instrument, the organ box is simply a crank powered instrument that’s music is pre-set by mechanical means, as with a music box or a jack in the box.

 

Rain Stick: Though an item in much debate over whether it’s truly an instrument for making music, the rain stick is still quite pleasing in sound and fascinating.

 

 

CLASS AND SKILLS/TOOLS KITS:

 

Artisan Scissors: General all purpose scissors.

 

Blood Letter’s Leeches: A flask of a dozen live leeches thriving in pond scum. Used by barbers and other such healers to draw out “bad blood”. It’s actual aid in disease is rather dubious, though the at the DM’s approval the use of such leeches could reduce the time of suffering with the effects of disease by ½ total duration.

 

Barber’s Kit: All needed tools for the proper trimming of hair, filing of nails, blood letting (includes a dozen live blood letter’s leeches), as well as the pulling and filling of teeth. Replacement teeth must be purchased individually.

Farmer’s Tools: A simple set of commonly used farmer’s tools such as hoes, rakes, spades, and so forth.

 

Gem Eyes And Glass Eyes: These spherical objects are used to replace gouged out eyes. Simple glass eyes are usually little more than a smooth sphere with perhaps a bit of color tinting to the glass. Fancy glass eyes either mimic the look of an eye to a crude degree or have either special color swirl effects or colored glass objects/images skillfully blown into their center. Gem eyes are a bit more expensive and the common version can be found in a variety of gems though banded and eye agates are quite common. The fancy gem eyes often have engravings in them and it is not unknown for a few to have an additional stone setting with the center of the gem that mimics a pupil.

 

Glue, Artisan: Artisan glue is used by a variety of craftsmen and thus there are a few different variants on the marketplaces (though all are roughly the same in price).

 

Peg Leg, Wooden: A simple wooden leg with the proper fitting to allow a comfortable insert and grip of the stump.

 

 

Soup Pot: This is a somewhat smaller version of a cauldron, usually around 8” in diameter, and is constructed of cast iron. It is primarily used in the day to day mundane exercise of boiling and cooking. Often this item is passed down from generation to generation amongst the poorer class and many a superstitious peasant woman claims that her soup pot, given to her by her great grandmother of secret recipes and mysterious ways, has some sort of magical property when it comes to making the winter evening stew taste just right.

 

Teeth (Human and Demi-Human): These are quite simply the pulled teeth of humans, elves, halflings, and so on that are used in the replacement of missing teeth (or for making well fitting dentures) by barbers. These teeth are of good condition and still have a fair portion of the roots attached/undamaged. Only teeth lacking in cavities, chipping, or other damage/wear are consider trade worthy.

Note: Adventurers seeking a little extra income from their fallen foes may want to consider the value of such teeth, as a barber will usually purchase them for around 4 sp per tooth (half the selling value).

 

Teeth (Humanoid): Not nearly as desirable (or often comfortable) as human/demi-human teeth, but useable if needed.

Note: Adventurers seeking a little extra income from their fallen foes may want to consider the value of such teeth, as a barber will usually purchase them for around 5cp per tooth (half the selling value).

 

Thread: Extra thread for workers of fabric.

 

Wheelbarrow: A laborer’s trusted wooden friend.

 

Wood Stain: Commonly used amongst woodworkers and carpenters, this stain is a bit superior to commonly found substitutes (berries and such).

 

 

CLOTHING:

 

Bed clothing: A simple cap and gown typically makes up the commoner’s bed clothes. More fancy variants may incorporate lace, silk, common furs, and an overall luxurious or even romantic design.

 

Buttons: Replacement buttons for clothing.

 

Festival Costume: Perhaps even more flashy than an entertainer’s outfit, a festival costume is worn during various celebrations. These outfits usually incorporate a variety of cloth patterns and accessories, including feathers, baubles, and decorative masks that cover the area around the wearer’s eyes.

 

Hat/Headpiece: A variety of hats and headpieces to complement whatever manner of dress the character may flaunt.

 

House Slippers: A popular favorite amongst the “better folk” of the village, house slippers are light weight shoes to keep the feet comfortable and warm when indoors during the bitterly cold parts of the year.

 

Leather Masks:  Whether ceremonial use or for performance savvy fighters, these masks offer more of an appearance bonus than any real sense of armor or protection.

 

Loincloth: A simple loincloth made of cloth or hide.

 

Scarf: Silk scarves offer a lot of color and style but little warmth. Wool scarves do not have quite the flair of silk scarves but are quite warm.

 

Stockings/Socks: These are additional footwear that compliment the character’s typical garb. Wool stockings and socks are usually more geared towards warmth and comfort though actually more economical. Though the practical advantage of silk is it’s strength and desirable weight, the typical use of silk in such garments is it’s appearance (whether it be in it sheer intimate apparel or complex patterns and designs).

 

Mounts And Related Gear:

 

Covered Cart: A typical cart with the addition with built up walls (around 2’ higher than normal) and a simple roof of either wood or treated canvas stuffed with thatch. The purpose of this cart is to keep any hauled materials somewhat out of the weather though one medium sized creature or two small sized creatures could use an empty covered cart for somewhat adequate (though cramped) shelter during heavy storms. A single horse, donkey, or mule can be used to pull this cart. This cart comes with harness.

 

Caravan Wagons: Caravan wagons, or gypsy carts, are prime choices for traveling adventurers. These sturdy wagons are longer and a wee bit wider than typical wagons and have sturdy wooden walls that are usually somewhat fancy in design on the exterior. Inside simple beds can either be used to sit upon during the day or are hinged to be folded up against the side walls. The typical caravan wagon houses up to four medium sized characters or six small sized characters. Also there is adequate storage space for goods that is strategically placed on hooks or under the furnishings of the wagon’s interior. The roof of a caravan wagon consists of a sturdy structure of wooden and metal framework, which is covered in heavy layers of treated canvas and thatch.

The fancy caravan wagon variants also usually feature such visually appealing features as brass fittings and often windows of stained glass. Also, fancy caravan wagons are usually a couple of feet longer than the standard version and in the back feature a small but well contained fireplace and chimney constructed of stone, iron, and copper pipe. Common caravan wagons require four horses to pull. Fancy versions require six horses to pull. Both versions come with harness.

 

 

Gnomish Cutting Shears: A truly innovative invention of the gnomes that has been applauded by noble rulers from many a land. The gnomish cutting shear is a contraption standing about five feet high that mainly consists of a long wheel of metal  roller blades attached to a wooden framework with another long metal blade (at ground level) and harness. When pulled by a horse, donkey, or mule, the bladed wheel rolls across the ground, causing the metal blades to cut down tall grasses. Usually the shears can clean up a typical acre of tall grass in four hours.

 

 

Performer’s Cart: This wagon is another gypsy cart variant, though much smaller and lightweight than the caravan wagons. It’s intentions is to provide comfortable transportation, shelter, and storage for a single traveling entertainer of medium or small size (though a couple can cope within the cart together to some degree if needed). Though there is no means of providing a fire within the cart, the walls are insulated with thatch and covered in canvas or other fabrics which help keep the cold out. The roof is likewise well constructed, and though the cart is built on the intentions of being light in weight, the whole structure is surprisingly very durable.  Both versions of the cart feature a somewhat flamboyant design although fittings of brass and silver, stained glass windows, and hanging draperies of fine silk are more likely seen in the fancy varieties.  The performer’s cart requires two horses to pull. Comes with harness.

 

Plow: Simple but effective bladed tool for farming. Requires a horse, donkey, or mule to pull. Comes with harness.

 

Tent Wagon: An advanced version of the standard wagon that features wooden framework walls and a roof that is covered and sealed with treated canvas that’s stuffed with thatch. In addition to hauling gear, this cart can house two medium sized characters or four small sized characters. An extended tarp helps keep the wagon’s driver somewhat out of the rain as well. Requires two horses to pull this wagon. This wagon comes with harness.

 

Sled, Covered: A larger version of the common sled with built up walls and a wooden or treated canvas roof that allows covering of equipment during storms and blizzards. Also, though somewhat cramped,  two medium sized characters or four small sized characters can seek somewhat adequate shelter in the covered sled. Requires two horses, donkeys, or mules to pull. Comes with harness.

 

 

Food, Drink, Lodging, And Services:

 

Butter: A 1lb. portion  of butter.

 

Barber Services: The barber is an old equivalent to a dentist, hair trimmer, and blood letter. The barber pulls, fills, and replaces teeth. He offers trims, cuts, and shaves. Also, though not much of a full blown healer, the barber may be able to reduce the duration of disease (DM’s option to cut disease effects duration time in half) by ridding the body of bad blood through the use of leeches. In addition, if time allows, he may also trim and file one’s nails. A simple visit to the barber would simply include one of the above services while the price of full service pays for whatever may “ail you” that the barber can fix.

GAME NOTE: Treat the services of a barber as a Profession skill.

 

 

Boiled Sweets: Hard candy made into a variety of colors, flavors, and simple shapes.

Gravediggers, Mourners, And Undertakers: In the event that a relative has died, the family (provided that a proper funeral can be afforded) hire the services of the undertaker, mourners, and a gravedigger to see that the body of their lost is properly laid to rest. The undertaker generally handles the general overseeing of the funeral preparations and proceedings while the mourners carry out whatever rituals may deem proper. The grave digger simply assists the undertaker in putting the body to final rest.

 

Honey: Regular honey, with or without a piece of honeycomb.

 

Milk: Quite simply a pitcher’s worth of fresh milk.

 

Massage, Therapeutic: This is the more “legitimate” form of massages, mainly to cure aching muscles and back problems.
