Win these dice!<\/p><\/div>\n

You can win a set of the dice that appear in this blog post. Details at the end. Thanks for Q-Workshop for supplying dice to give away!<\/p>\n

A gamer recently mentioned a disappointing lack of detail when his GM handed out a “pouch of gems.” The player wanted more flavour. It is difficult detailing every little thing found in a campaign, so I thought a small generator would help flesh out looting and shopping a bit.<\/p>\n

You can use a single table below to make a bit of treasure more interesting, or use a combination of tables to make an item especially notable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\"d4\"<\/a><\/th>\nName Generation*<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
Method 1:<\/td>\nNPC name + item (e.g. Akbar’s Inkwell)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Method 2:<\/td>\nAdjective\/Verb + Item (e.g. A Running Inkwell)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Method 3:<\/td>\nProduct Line Name (indicating a notable product line with its own special properties that give an item reputation, such as An Aqua Inkwell)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Method 4:<\/td>\nSource’s Name + Item (source could be a notable crafter, company, distributor, supplier or retailer, such as an inkwell from Akbar & Company’s Fine Goods)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

* Here are 40 great name generators<\/a> you can tap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
