Time well-spent and time wasted - the Moldvay Dungeon-stocking tables

I could have just gone and found my copy of Moldvay. That's what I'm after, particularly, page B52, the dungeon-stoking tables and advice. But, instead, I'm on the net with about 11 tabs open looking at the Nine and Thirty Kingdoms, the Society of the Torch, Pole and Rope, Ode to Black Dougal, Dungeon Fantastic, and the Lands of Ara. As well as google text and image pages and a page for downloading the non-art version of Labyrinth Lord. All of which is great of course, they're some fantastic blogs with loads of interesting insights into how and why we game and what makes it interesting/fun/easier/more unexpected, but...

I actually just looked for my copy of Moldvay. It took me less than a minute to find it, and now I'm going to do what I was going to do more than hour ago - start the bloody room-stocking!

This is the gist of what I was after - now formatted with numbers in case I want to randomly determine traps or whatever, and more generally put into the way I tend to note things... (pity Blogger doesn't like Word formatting but hey-ho).

Moldvay Basic (B52) 

This is a two-step process:

1-2        Monster
3          Trap
4          Special
5-6        Empty

and then roll for treasure on a matrix:

Roll      Monster            Trap      Empty
1          Yes                   Yes      Yes
2          Yes                   Yes      No
3          Yes                   No        No
4-6        No                    No        No

Room Traps:

1.     Poison Gas: save v poison or die

2.     Fog: looks like poison gas, but harmless

3.     Pit: 1d6 DAM /10’ fallen

4.     Ceiling block falls: Save v Turn to Stone or take d10pts DAM

5.     Pendulum blade from ceiling: d8pts DAM

6.     Chute: no DAM, slide to next level down

Treasure Traps:

1.     Poison needle: save v poison or die

2.     Spring-fired darts: d6 darts for d4 DAM each

3.     Flash of Light: save v spells or be blinded for d8 turns

4.     Poison snake: see SNAKE in monster descriptions

5.     Spray: sprayed with an unknown liquid that attracts Wandering Monsters; double chance for d6 hours

6.     Illusion: anything, often a monster (as Phantasmal Force)

           

Specials

1.     Moaning room or corridor

2.     Room turns or sinks while the door locks

3.     Illusionary stairs or corridor

4.     Shifting blocks to close off corridor

5.     Trap door to tunnels

6.     Alarm that summons special monster

7.     Taking statue

8.     Magic pool whose waters have strange effect

9.     Magic gate to another part of the dungeon

10.  Flying weapons which attack only if disturbed

Unguarded treasures

Dungeon Level              Silver pieces*    Gold Pieces      Gems   Jewellery          Magic Items

1                                  d6x100             50%                  5%       2%                   2%

                                                            d6x10               d6        d6                    Any 1

2-3                                d12x100           50%                 10%     5%                   8%

                                                            d6x100             d6        d6                    Any 1

*Note that SP will always be found in unguarded treasure, and other items are given in terms of the die rolled to determine the number present

... and that's it, Part 8, E (Stocking the Dungeon). Only took me marginally longer to type than to find, though I had copied the first part of the table from this post at Dungeon Fantastic so thanks for that.

Nope, no matter what I do I can't get it to format properly. Never mind, it still makes sense.
