Equipment Packs

I've seen equipment packs appear elsewhere in old-school blogs, but I haven't seen any for Labyrinth Lord specifically. They're invaluable for quick character creation because gearing up seems to take longer than everything else put together, between adding up costs (in different coin types), adding up weights, and deciding what's most useful to have. I'm also going to try to improve game utility by having themed packs for specific situations, so that groups can re-equip quickly for the needs of their current mission.

For these packs, each item is followed by the weight in pounds in [square brackets]. After the pack's contents is the total cost, with a DM-optional “package deal” price offered by outfitters when the contents are all bought together.

  1. Nice. I like the differently themed packs idea.
