My players are always hacking up every monster they kill, sending it to the butcher to see if this or that piece is worth something, it can be sold as an aphrodisiac or turned into a magical focus.

The new ACKS monster manual actually gives a list parts that are usable of valuable for each creature. It's pretty cool.

There's a Frostgrave optional rule that lists the spell bonuses and gold bounties that can be harvested from monsters - it's in Spellcaster #5.

That sounds very interesting. It should not be that hard for a GM to adjucate what various monster parts could be used for.

Not to mention all the spell components that are needed.

That dragon looks as happy sitting on his hoard as I do with my "pile of opportunity". :) Love the phone!

They are indeed! I was just looking over the auction list for the World Boardgaming Championships in Seven Springs, PA. Great fun to hold up your paddle and get into bidding wars. :)

Thanks!

I love these old magazine reviews... Interesting to see what the nerds were up to when I was in kindergarten. :)
