I love the Treasure Map Creator, so much fun! :)
...I'll spend a lot of time on that site, I'm pretty sure.

Quote from: Tommy Brownell;663418Dragon magazine had a GREAT "common items" "treasure" table that we used the Hell out of...

...and it actually worked out at times (like someone finding a jar of marbles that they later used to trip up a pursuing enemy).

Damned if I know the issue number, though.

Looking through DragonDexand my own copies of Dragon... I think I might have found it, but it was a bag of marbles in the charts. Trifling Treasures, issue #207. Nice find, I might have to make use of this.

I'm very proud of the treasure tables in Hulks and Horrors, and it's pay what you want along with Heaven's Shadow on DTRPG right now.

Drums of War has some treasure tables I am also very proud of, but the stat model in that system is far different from normal D&D so I'm not sure the resultant gear would be all that useful, though you could adapt the Diablo/Warcraft style naming tools to different results possibly, or tone down the numbers. It's also free, so it's worth taking a look for ideas at least.

It was always in the plan, but I was waiting for the both of us to get settled in our new digs. PM me your new details and I'll get the order in as soon as I can.

The Hack & Slash "Treasure" document is a great guide to creating interesting treasure.  It has more tables and information so takes a bit longer, but the detail is a great cue for the imagination.

Best blog in the OSR, and maybe all of RPG.

This is the non-coin part of a pick pockets article I put together for my upcoming Kickstarter release the Guidebook to the City of Dolmvay.

Incidentally, any feedback on it is appreciated.  I don't mind the results being a little odd, but I don't want them to be ridiculous so if I missed something please let me know.
