[QUOTE="lumin, post: 5533167, member: 59785"] I am a big fan of using randomly generated resources in my Pen and Paper games. I typically take the random "thing" (whatever that may be - item, creature, loot, etc) and manipulate it just enough to have it make sense in my campaign, or allow it to create a story of its own. For example, in a recent campaign, one of my characters was scouring a Goblin Fortress and I rolled up a random "Long Sword of Entanglement" as a loot item. I decided that this would play a central role in the campaign and created a neat story around it where the characters would have to return it to a hidden Druid Grove. I love doing this because it not only helps me with the story, but it makes things stay fresh and exciting rather than relying on my own biases in making things up. I usually play lite RPGs such as Castles and Crusades, Microlite, and (my personal favorite) Warrior, Rogue & Mage so I don't rely on many "rules". I usually only bring character sheets, graph paper, pencils and dice to my games and they usually take place in a non-formal setting (couch, bedside, etc). So my problem is that I hate having to use my big fat RPG books to roll for random stuff. So can anyone point me to a Master GM loot table print-out that I can easily print on my printer and use at my games? I'm looking for something that's pretty much got it all - loot, furniture, monsters, weather, items (magic and non-magic), NPCs (well NPCs are not as important...but would be nice), traps, etc. I've been looking for something like this for years and haven't found it. And, no, I prefer not to use software generator because I need to have the resource ready-in-hand while playing at any time or place. It would be a very nice thing to have, especially if it could be printed out in booklet or pamphlet format for easy stowing. I just hate having to use my rulebooks for something like this. [/QUOTE]
