[QUOTE="SteveC, post: 5315223, member: 9053"] I think that wishlists are a useful tool. I wouldn't feel restricted by them, but I'd want to see what my players are looking for and plan accordingly. I've ran with random treasure for a long time (I played a lot of Rolemaster and the game has a book called the Treasure Companion that's all items and tables) and most of the time I've found that what that does is give the group a lot of junk they never use. There certainly are exceptions where something interesting appears that the group would never have thought of, but a lot of the time it's just junk. I remember my group's reaction to the +1 Holy Symbol of Hope in Keep on the Shadowfell where they said "you know we don't have anyone who uses the Divine power source, right?" There's nothing that absolutely ruins my sense of wonder in a game like having a bunch of enchanted items that are not only not interesting to the group, but they're actively trying to get rid of them. So yes, I do use them. --Steve [/QUOTE]
