Mar 22 - Treasure Generator

Background

Following the release of the Ancient Weapons Generator  I decided to put together another quick generator in the pamphlet layout mini-game style format and released this as part of a recent game jam.

I've used a current itch.io TTRPG game jam to help motivate me to produce a small piece of content which is system agnostic and can be used with other game systems but I will eventually look to include this in the revised version of the Heroes of Adventure system. 

One area I have been looking at more recently is the use of the simple index card to act as a tool to support the referee when running a game. The idea is you have a few handy generators 'on-hand' which you can pick out and follow to quickly generate some in game content. You could even let the players get involved in determining treasure in a collaborative fashion.

As a result, I have put together a pamphlet style generator along with an index card version which can be printed and fits on two-sides of a 6x4" index card.

Treasure Generator

Finding treasure should be exciting and offer gameplay opportunities such as: 

• Some flavour over the treasures look, feel and use
•  It tells you something about the setting 
• Opportunity to discover things about the treasure, a hook 
• Some value when exchanged or traded

The Treasure Generator requires just a few dice rolls to quickly generate a treasure item with background details including a description, features, flaws and a value. This supplement can be used with any role-playing game system. 

This supplement was released as part of the  OSR supplement jam  in Mar 2022 and can be downloaded for free.
