Let's face it, if you follow the normal treasure type indications for the various monsters in your dungeons, that's a lot of damn dice rolling. Let's look at type A as an example (per the 1e MM). To start with, there are 8 categories of treasure (copper, silver, et al) that each require an initial percentile roll to determine whether each type is present. Then, assuming each type is present, there's another 8 rolls (1 for each type) to determine quantity. Then there's more rolling for type of item, etc. In the d30 DM Companion, I've created a treasure type generator that combines each of those "double rolls" (1=yes/no, 2=quantity) into one roll for each category, based on treasure type. And when you combine that with similar gem/jewelry and magic item generators, it really speeds up the process.
There's also a BX to 1e conversion table, so anyone playing BX can use these same charts to create a comparable treasure horde, based on the treasure types listed in the BX rulebooks.

THERE'S A FEW D30 BUTTONS LEFT!
While supplies last (I'd set 30 aside), buyers of the print copy get this 1" button designed featuring a white illustration of a d30 on a green background color to match this d30 Companion edition. Simply request the button when you send your Lulu order number for the PDF copy, and I'll snail mail you a d30 button (again, at no additional cost to you.) And if you buy multiple copies, I'll send multiple buttons!
