To expand upon yesterdays Things In A Box post, below is another random table, this one to determine what kind of box has been found. This one probably should have come first, but the Things table was finished before I started on this one.

I'm adding this to my DM folder! Thanks.
I hate random tables.
All dnd like gaming are weird, leave it and toss it to the trash can.
From my point of view the whole oldschool gaming and retroclone rule designing are completely unnecessary. Because there are lot of games (for example odnd) and you don't have to publish n+1 version. Why don't you redesign the original dnd? Why fun playing with these clones?

Look, a troll found my blog!
@roleplay-
It's fine by me if you hate random tables, old school gaming, and retroclones. I really don't care what you like or don't like. I am sad that your life is so empty that you need to waste your time telling other people that the games they enjoy are bad. Maybe you should take your free time and devote it to something useful instead. I think you will find life more enjoyable if you are doing something constructive.
I assume number 24 is Luggage from Discworld? :D
@Aarneus-It could be, although that's not what I had in mind when I made up the table. I was thinking of carved lions foot furniture, something like this:
