First off, just want to say I love almost everything in the play test. Good stuff. The one thing I don't like is a pretty minor change.
Silver is supposed to be the standard coin unit. Players start with silver, the down time work tables award silver and the equipment tables are in silver. But then, the later tables in the book (alchemical items, magical items, etc) are in gold. I wasn't entirely certain if they were typos at first, since some items were surprisingly expensive when they cost gold. (Alarm trap is 20 silver, when it's basically a string with a cowbell on it, the same price of a Great sword). I would like if the tables used silver all throughout. It would make it just a tiny bit easier to read.

I think the idea is that the items on the Alch/Snare/Magic item tables are special cases and take more effort (though your cowbell is an odd case, I admit) and resources to make.
With the base in Silver Pieces, when you see something listed in Gold Pieces it is supposed to indicate that it is something special (cowbells on string notwithstanding).
