A table for TTRPGS. Roll d4:

1. Cursed. Anytime it leaves your person dreadful luck befalls you, escalating day by day. Who or what do you think is responsible for the curse?
2. Blasphemous & illegal. Anyone found with it in their possession will be executed by the authorities. Why did you make it?
3. Hunted. It is known that a powerful and unscrupulous individual seeks it for their own; no one else dares own it. Which of their agents do you fear most?
4. Promise. You promised to give it to someone and you utterly refuse to break that oath. Who is it promised to and why does your oath matter so much?

It is worth 1d10 x 100 silver.

Alternative awkward items (d6)

1. Gilded mirror
2. Hand bell with very recognisable sound
3. Twenty foot rope of pearls
4. Gorgeous stallion
5. Velvet brocade wedding dress with long train
6. Cranky and talkative thumb-sized imp in a cage

Notes

This was part of my work on Fierce & Futile Backgrounds but it didn’t fit well there. So rather than kill my darling I’ve instead sent it to live in a nice farm upstate (this blog).
