A Review of the Role Playing Game Supplement Pocket Lint, Light Loot & Tiny Treasures

Pocket Lint, Light Loot & Tiny Treasures by Kim Frandsen is a generic role playing game supplement published by Beyond the Horizon.

The supplement is available as a 14-page PDF from DriveThruRPG for $2 but was purchased at a reduced price as part of a special bundle. One page is the front cover, one the front matter and one is blank.

The supplement starts with a d20 table which can then be used to refer to other tables in the supplement. It then explains that the results of searching through the pockets of a defeated foe can be boring, whilst a normal person would have quite an assortment of things. This supplement has various items that could be found in pockets or treasure hoards, and there’s advice on how often to use the lists, adding new results to them, to reduce repetitions, and on adapting them to different settings, such as modern, as these are aimed at fantasy.

Table 2 is Food. Rolling on this table requires a d6 to determine which of the two sections of the table to use, then a d20 for the result. The results are, naturally, food, and generally edible.

Table 3 is Plants & Animals. Again, rolling on this requires a d6 to determine which of the two sections to use; these have a variety of small live or dead creatures or plants or items derived from them.

Table 4 is Ornaments etc. which is rolled on the same way as the previous two tables, with various different minor items.

Table 5 is Miscellany and this has six groups of 20 items, many classifiable as junk.

Table 6 in Cryptic Notes which has three batches of 20 short notes.

Pocket Lint, Light Loot & Tiny Treasures in Review

The PDF lacks bookmarks and, though short, there are enough sections that this would have been helpful. The text maintains a single column format and some minor errors were noticed. There are a few pieces of black and white stock art. Presentation is decent.

This is a simple supplement that can add a wide variety of small, often worthless but sometimes curious, items to a defeated foe or its hoard. Most have no great value or meaning, but that doesn’t mean that a meaning couldn’t be made for them. Pocket Lint, Light Loot & Tiny Treasures is a decent little supplement and it can be found by clicking here.
