What's the communities thoughts of having a item generator which would pull items directly from d&d beyond official and even homebrew items. It would allow for the DM to pull up random items quickly without having to spend time looking for items that might not be used or wanted. The DM could review the items the generator comes up with and list off what the shop has for sale. You could select the size of town to determine the quality and quantity of items the shop would have. It could have a store option from weapons to scrolls to herbs and so on.
What do you guys think. Would this be useful or is their something out there that already does this for d&d beyond??
5e already has random loot tables, and the game isn't designed with the notion of the sale of magic items being common. As such, it's unlikely to be a feature DDB would implement as it would involve them creating their own rules for it, not something they're in the habit of doing.
It's on the roadmap to make the tables rollable, so that'll be a definite QoL improvement that should help
This would be great for equipment and supplies, especially if we could homebrew equipment and supplies on the site (which, of course, we currently can't.)

Recently returned to D&D after 20+ years.
Unapologetic.
