A new weekend has arrived, so that means it is time for another new set of Curious Collectibles tables!
If you like these and want even more options each week, consider joining me on Patreon! Patrons get access to more options, with new tables released every Friday!

Some additional inspirational prompts for the above treasure items:
Who made such a delicate item? Could it be of fey origin? Who was it made for?
What sort of infusion does this ore contain? Is it natural? Or cursed?
What sort of enchantment is on this tent? Could it have been a part of the fey carnival that came to town? Why was it left here?
Who uses a dagger so cruel? What sort of venom is left within it, if any?
And most importantly, what option would you choose?

As always, this table is available and free for you to use in your home DnD / Pathfinder / Tales of the Valiant / Shadowdark / TTRPG games, to help generate some more descriptive loot. These treasure options are perfect for a new quest-hook or a truly epic / one of a kind reward to feed your players (ever growing) loot goblinoid hunger.
If you love ttrpg stuff like this and are looking for more loot options, as well as a hoard of printable paper minis, terrain and monsters to help fill your table, check out my Patreon page! I create affordable paper minis, VTT Tokens and more, with a release every week! You can follow for free so you never miss a post or join as a member to get access to all the extra Patreon exclusive goodies.

goblinpunch made this great blogpost that featured in Knock! #4. I redesigned it for a d6 and rewrote them each to have 4 outcomes. I have this on the inside of my GM screen when running Knave to replace the standard d12 reaction table. I've not yet rolled a d8 to determine disposition, I choose whatever makes sense for the character. But maybe you will!
1. Benevolent
1 Shun. If you don’t leave, they’ll leave. Reason: disgust / fear / dislike / you are bad.
2-3 Curious but guarded. Riddle talk / trades information.
4-5 Small assistance. Limited in duration and degree. Shares information. Asks questions.
6 Large assistance. Trusting, conversational. May ask to join the party.
Something that seems to happen all too often in my games is an unforeseen lull in the action or the story progression. Sometimes the best way to fix that is to come up with something on the fly to change things up. I struggle to come up with reasons after many times of this happening, so I created a roll table to mix things up in a random way. Whenever you get to a point in a session and have the thought “This is getting stale... something needs to change”, just roll on this table to throw a wrench into things.
