08-07-05, 06:00 PM Woe is me, for I've been googling for any homebrewed rules about generating mines for my world, and naught has appeared to soothe my troubled brow. :(

Any ideas for generating mines would help. I've got the characters in a particular fort on top of a modest rock hill, and they want to mine it if possible. There is also a larger interest in quarries and such. How the heck do I roll to generate possible mine sites?

If I recall correctly there was a chart for what would be found, which direction the vein(s) lead, and how long it would take to play out.

I have some books on Dwarves or Dwarven realms (specificially, Roleaids "Dwarves" and I.C.E.'s Middle Earth "Moria" complex), but there's nothing there for locating and stocking mines.

I'll try to get the AD&D Dwarves book (I assume it's the brown-cover book) on eBay or a local shop.
