Another simple little table I always keep at hand is this list of 30 items.
For those "what's in its pocketses" situations. Players search the room/body/shelf/table, whatever, you just need something quick.
- Alcohol
- Blade
- Book
- Cards/dice
- Charm/talisman
- Coins
- Cosmetics
- Creepy
- Documents
- Drawing
- Figurine
- Fire-making device
- Food
- Handkerchief
- Jewelry
- Knick-knacks
- Light source
- Live creature
- Medication
- Mirror
- Musical instrument
- Pocket lint
- Poison
- Recreational herbs
- Religious item
- Sweets/treats
- Time-keeping device
- Tool
- Twine/rope
- Weird
This is a generic list, usable in any setting. However, it's also a cool exercise to try and come up with setting-specific reskins for all these items.
E.g., in a modern urban fantasy game, you would have
Alcohol → Fairy beer*
Card → The business card of a shady detective
Cosmetics → Vampire-attracting lipstick
...and so on.
* As elaborated during a discord convo, that's a regular IPA, but you burp rainbows after drinking it.
