This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Anyone have or know someone who has this? Is it any good?

The one thing that I hate doing because it just bores the crap out of me is generating treasure for an encounter.

I do not have a copy, but I've had experience with the product (I sold it at the Troll Lord Booth at Origins).  

It's a massive index.  It doesn't actually have any monsters or treasure in it, it's a massive index of several books and turned into a gigantic encounter table based on environment, time of day, and other things.

Gigantic encounter table? Are you sure you aren't thinking of the Mother of All Encounter Tables? Different product.

Running: Pathfinder Scarred Lands, Mutants & Masterminds, Masks, Starfinder, Bulldogs!
Playing: Sigh. Nothing.
Planning: Some Cyberpunk thing, system TBD.

I'm looking for info on the Treasure Tables book by the same publisher. It has just recently been released.

OOPS, my bad!  I've always been kind of disappointed with the ENCOUNTER bok...the TREASURE book actually rocks on toast.

The thing has a TON of trasure ideas in it, from mundane (but valuable) items to titles, magical items, and a ton of stuff.  It's quite meaty.

Like the encounter book, it covers a huge amount of ground...pretty much any situation where treasure might be involved is covered.
