Need help generating items for my players' kingdom


Kingmaker


Hey all, I've been running KM for a little while now, my group (5th level) is a 3rd into volume 2 and have 4 settlements, across which I have to generate 5 minor items, 3 medium and 2 major items nearly every in-game month, thankfully, my players have allowed me to cease generating minor potions and scrolls (they're not interested in buying those, they just get sold in the income phase), their economy checks isn't high enough to always pass the check to sell major items so I don't have many of those to generate (they always want me to roll those, even though they can't afford to buy them generally). I tried to pre-roll the items and had a list of a couple dozen minor and mediums but they blew through that quick. After a few weeks of kingdom building we've got the kingdom turns down to 3ish minutes each (which is good, as I lose the interest of half the players during that part of the game), but doing magic items just takes too long, I'm using the table on this page (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items#Table-Random-Magic-Item-Generation) to determine what category an item is and then rolling on the tables in the magic item section of http://www.d20srd.org since d20pfsrd doesn't include tables for silly unimportant stuff like what kind of weapon or armor and what specific scroll or potion is generated (and has unuseful sub tables like lesser minor and greater major item), which is kind of a pain since I then have to check to be sure that said item still exists in PF or hasn't had it's name changed, etc. I'm looking for an online generator where I can specify "minor item" or major, or medium and have it spit out a random item.

Can anyone help?

It seems that you need something like Nethys Random Item Generator

O. M. G. That's fantastic, almost perfect. Do you know if there's a way to make it only generate items from the Core rules, I'm trying to avoid power-creep so I don't allow most things outside of core without careful consideration.


In any event, thank you for your suggestion, even with it generating items I may not necessarily want in my game I can just ignore those and generate another.
