      This won't work. Why? Because items are left in the square so other

I respectfully disagree. :-)

Actually, there is a large, three tile wide corridor in the store
entrance that is large enough to accommodate "free" stuff. If people
on this list will playtest it and suggest needed changes, if any, to
make it more attractive to drop items I will be glad to make the
changes.

Hmmm, I suppose I could make the corridor 5 tiles wide and add
"charity tables" in the corridor to give a hint to players to use the
corridor for "freebie" items. I think I'll do that, add a sign about
it and overwrite that file on the web site. Stay tuned ...
