Having recently finished my reread of the Deltora Quest series, I noticed that it often featured one-off and consumable items of ingenious design or minor magical providence, like incredibly absorbent water pellets or self-coiling rope. I figured these kinds of minor oddities would be easy to generate on the fly with Spwack's html generator tool, and could fill a notable niche in the game. Often, a DM will introduce traveling merchants and specialty shops into their game, and will note that they sell standard adventuring equipment. This is serviceable, but I reckon it could create interesting scenes if these merchants actually did sometimes have something uncommon.
The generator below will create a small stock of items, sufficient for a peddler in outright curiosities. For a community that serves as a long-term base for a party, it may be appropriate to take only the top one or two oddities, rerolling every couple weeks of in-game time. My hope is that most results will be easy to improvise from, although not every new convenience will be specifically applicable to the adventurer's life.
