Hi. Got a copy of your table from a friend and thought I'd give my comments
(and a question or two).

No. Plan to soon, though.

>2. What did like?

The Conditional Value and Haggling sections.

>3. What did you dislike?

Nothing, really, though I do have a question or two below.

>4. How would you make it better?

Perhaps additional stuff on the actual haggling process. I figure I can
handle that myself anyway,  but ideas are always good.

>5. Would you be interested in a system that used cards instead of dice? (I'm

Definitely. I may try modifying it that way myself.

Now, the questions:

(1) I noticed there were no listings for rifles. I don't really have a
problem with that, as rifles are more likely to be prized and not given
away, but I wanted to make sure that you had intentionally left them out,
and not accidentally.

(2) The Conditional Value Table. Under 'Useable' it says 50 + 1d4 + 1 % of
the listed price. 'Cheap' says 50% and 'Hi-Quality' says 100%. Should
'Usable' say 50 +(1d4 x 10) % instead?

Anyhow, good work!
