Shopping is safe, honest, and uneventful. That is why it needed fixing.

Bloody Barter & Bitter Bargains is a merchant and trade supplement for Shadow of the Demon Lord, giving GMs tools to determine what merchants have in stock, how much coin they carry, and what complications come with the deal.

• Stock Challenge Rolls Determine availability by merchant, settlement, trade, and rarity.
• Mercantile Manifests Alchemists, armorers, gunsmiths, occultists, and more.
• Merchant Personalities Make your merchant unique and memorable.
• Item Categories Use tables to generate unique merchant inventories.
• Bitter Bargains Offer cursed trinkets, favors, reserved and suspiciously generous offers.
• Curses Purchases that should have come with a warning label and a priest.
• Separate Merchant Ledger Booklet Includes both full-background and no-background versions.

For every merchant who smiles too widely when the party asks, “Do you have anything special?”
