I'm going to start running a campaign from Tales from the Yawning Portal with some homebrew elements between adventures and it's going to have 7 people in the party (YIKES). This will also be my first ongoing campaign I'm running. I've run one offs before so I never really had need for loot tables, but now that I'm going to DMing an ongoing campaign, I want to give my players some magic items, but I'm not sure the best way to do that.
Since TfYP is meant for 4-5 players I'm worried their might not be enough loot in the dungeon, so when the players return to Waterdeep I was planning on sending them to Xoblob's shop. What's the best way to determine what Xoblob has in stock that is special? Should I roll on the treasure hoard table based on their level?
No, when you select the location and type of shop, the bottom area of the page shows a small list of items which were randomly generated (from tables). It generates a new list of items (and descriptions for the location and inside of the shop) when you change selections or even just press the browser's refresh button.

You could try the donjon web site which can generate shop contents at https://donjon.bin.sh/5e/magic/shop.html
So my goal is not to pick anything and let the dice decide. Seems like the donjon site is just a list?

Oh cool. I’ll check it out. Thanks.
DNDNames has some decent tools. Their hoard generator is all randomized, based of the DMG tables: https://dndnames.com/gm-tools/hoard-generator.php
