Designer's Notes

These trade tables are essentially in a beta form. They are the raw tables I created for myself many years ago, with a minimal amount of playtesting. After all, they were originally just for me - if I found that I had missed something, I could re-roll or just make something up on the fly.

Some indications of this rawness are minor omissions within some of the tables, and the fact there is no "nice" explanation of how to use these tables.

They also pre-date the rules from GT: Free Trader and have not been updated to reflect those rules.
