Vending Machine Table
Vending machine table. Things bought will persist.
01: Drinks. Takes silver piece. Gives bottle of Tea, chilled coffee, Pure water, or sparkling lemon lime drink.
02: Food. Takes silver piece. Gives 1 iron ration, chocolate bar, honey & trail mix bar, corn dodger, carrot sticks, or beef jerky.
03: Necessities. Takes one gold piece. Gives flask of oil, 10 tinder twigs, 4 candles, bar of soap, or one dose antitoxin.
04: Various spell components. Takes 1 gold piece. Gives mercury, gum Arabic, 3 colors of sand, rose petals, 1 cocoon, ect.
05: Herbs: Takes 1 silver. Gives sprig of belladonna, Mustard poultice, Garlic bulb, Powdered wolves bane, ect.
06: Oddities: Takes one platinum piece. Gives stone elder sign, 5 dose bottle of milk of amnesia, 1 dose sleep poison, ect.
Hook: The elder sign acts as a holy symbol to turn aberrations, effectively giving them the feats. It can be used to seal a door to The Far Realm. A Society against The Far Realm will try to recruit the holder of a sign. There are only 5 signs in the machine. The Milk of Amnesia will cure charm, fear, and most event based insanity.
7) Live animals. The 3 gold or change goes in the slot, a button is pushed, then a creature drops into the cage built into the lower part of the machine. 1-Bat, 2-Cat, 3-Hawk, 4-Lizard, 5-Monkey, 6-Owl, 7-rat, 8-raven, 9-viper, 10-toad, 11-weasel, or 12-Turtle.
Hook: This can be used to replace a lost familiar ending the drawbacks. The turtle is special for 2 reasons. 1-It’s a snapping turtle with a plus 2 bite and the ability to attach like a weasel. 2-I’s got DA 1/magic because it’s a baby Tarrasque that will slowly grow up at about the speed of a dragon. For added fun you could have the pictures on the buttons worn off so all choices are random. A Kitsune will probably select a rat and eat it. If the GM wants, they can substitute a tarantula(Giant spider brought down 2 size categories) for any one animal.
8) Claw machine full of stuffed toys
9)A gumball machine
10)One with jawbreakers
11)One with toys in clear plastic capsules. 1-plastic figure of an NPC, 2-plastic toy monster, 3-Tin and glass ring, 4-Figurine of wondrous power determined randomly, 5-Vaguely horse shaped black stone that gives it’s owner bad luck(-2 on all die rolls, AC, and CMD), 6-Plastic die(D4,6,8,10,12,or 20), 7-glass marble, 8-rune stone
12)One of those sticker dispensers
13)Babble fish dispenser(100 gold each)
16.Sandwich Dispenser
It's full of brown mold. You can see the brown mold through the glass.
17. Silver coin
Takes silver coin. Gives silver coin. Usually. May require a thump.
18.Change machine
There's a coin slot, a cash value readout, a return/result tray, and a column of buttons. 1-Ten copper for a silver, 2-10 silver for a gold, 3-10 gold for a platinum, 4-10 platinum for an adamantine coin, 5-1 adamantine coin for 10 platinum, 6-1 platinum for 10 gold, 7-1 gold for 10 silver, 8-1 silver for 10 copper, 9-Remaining amount on a credstick, 19-? for CHANGE. If the required currency isn't shown on the readout, the button will click and do nothing.
If you select CHANGE, the remaining GP value is purged and you get a shiny metal cube, wrapped in a paper with common instructions. Say "Change into {material} {shape}" near to the object named change and it will turn into that. Say change into change and it will change back. It can keep the form of an adamantine dagger for 1 combat before changing back. It can form a hardwood beam to support a room ceiling basicly forever. It can take temporary spells such as magic weapon but it sheds all such enchantments when it changes. As a miscellaneous magic item it's worth about 100,000, so the vending machine is a major bargain.
I see y'all are taking the Dungeons of Dredmor approach. I'll join in. Although I may not be as specific.
Handheld Weaponry Dispenser: allows you to spend gold for various throwing weapons ranging from daggers to javelins to Chakrams to Throwing Axes and others, they are guaranteed to be nonmagical but come at a great discount.
Crafty Crafts!: Takes money in exchange for various crafting parts at discounted prices.
Bolt Council Dispensery: All sorts of crossbow bolts from alchemical to magical, but all of which are Bolt Council approved!
19 is easy, as there are prices in the core rulebook. The GM can then determine the discount.
20 Crafty crafts can dispense kits for torches, arrows, and other such items at the rate of 10 for the price of 1. The quick setting clay for pots and lamps will have myriad other uses.
21 Bolt Council Dispensary: 5 gold for an acid, ice, flame, sonic, or shocking bolt? How much for 1 silver headed bolt?
Random bolt table
1-Ordinary bolt
2-Silvered headed bolt
3-Flame bolt(head lights the lamp oil in the shaft on impact)
4-Acid bolt(Glass head and glass lined shaft)
5-Tangle bolt(hits like a tanglefoot bag)
6-Metal bolt(always reusable)
7-Blessed bolt(Cold iron tip, 2 doses of holy water in shaft, kills rakshasas)
8-Lightning bolt(Does 1D10 ejectrical, 3D10 on a crit)
9-Suicide bolt(turns back and tries to hit shooter. If it hits fort save vs DC18 or die)
10-Spell bolt(Put any touch spell in this blunt bolt and fire it.)
If this gets any longer it will need it's own topic.
The pictures, taken from the bestiary or such, can help you scry, but only on creatures that match the picture. Not the creature you want. Thus a goblin card will help you scry on a random goblin having a short sword, not a specific goblin owning a dogslicer. Even then they have a plus 8 willsave. This is also a GM call and may have no effect on scrying at all, because you are the GM.
23.One armed bandit
It only takes gold pieces. Any other coins will drop right through without allowing the arm to be pulled. There are 3 rows of internal wheels, each showing one of 20 portrait pictures.
1-Torchy Goblin
2-Stacy Unicorn
3-Grimtooth Hobgoblin
4-Marina Mermaid
5-Robert Troll
6-Jack Scarecrow
7-Green Tom The Lizardman
8-Rocky the Stone Golem
9-Gronk Orc
10-Cain the Vampire
11-Felspar the Dwarf
12-Cleo the Mummy
13-Leona the Spinx
14-Manny Minotaur
15-Ivan Imp
16-Froggy Gremlin
17-Half Hitch Halfling
18-Angela Trumpet Archon
19-George Djinni
20-A scary jester like "I'm Hiding in Your Closet"
Every time a coin is put in the lever can be pulled. The GM rolls 3D20 to determine what pictures it comes to rest on. 2 of a kind gets you 2 coins back. 3 of a kind gets you 1000 gold coins. The jester is wild. Note that 3 Djinni also grant you your next 3 wishes.
Only really high-rent districts with a ton of security would have vending machines taking gold (or higher denomination) coins. Otherwise, every ne'er-do-well with a cart and a couple of strongbacks will be helping themselves to unattended portable boxes full of gold coins and merch valuable enough to cost that much.
(It's well to remember that even 1st-level adventurers are filthy rich compared to most commoners.)
First-Seeming free gold is the built in trap of dungeons. Greedy NPCs are the free meat there. Trying to carry out a slot machine gets you extra random encounters.
Second, there are not actual gold coins in the machine. There are a few extra dimensional portals to the trans dimensional bank where the actual coins are kept. You put that in a portable hole it turns into fused metal slag.
3 wishes per set of 3 djinnis or wild cards means a cost of about 333 gp per wish off a chance of 0.1% per pull of the lever. That's low enough that players are unlikely to ever see it, with a payoff that justifies almost any level of investment if they do. The worst balance possible IMO.

So now instead of merely being a simple vending machine full of gold, it's an incredible magic device directly linked to a central bank? The thing is more valuable by far itself than its contents.
Yes.... This is definitely going to warrant a crack team of mercs on frenzied rhinos in full-plate barding operating with complete and utter disregard for massive collateral damage.
You need a limited wish to widen a portal, but that looks like fun, so go to it.:)
25. POSTCARDS!!!
Insert a coin, get a card from the Deck of Many Things...

This solves the problem of drawing the void when you have another card to draw.
27.Android Machine
There is a holographic chamber with a keypad, coin slot, credit slots, and a treasure hopper next to it. Once you touch any key and it powers up, you can select the appearance of the android. You insert the prerequisite 10,000 of treasure or credits(which is transferred out of the machine somehow). Then the android steps into the chamber from a door in the back, then out the front door. It will have no soul at first, but any waiting soul(PC or NPC) can step in immediately. Any modification(such as wings, extra arms, reproductive organs, eyes on the back of their head) cost 5,000 extra(per arm). It is otherwise a standard android. 1st level commoner till a soul steps in. If credit dept is detected, a hunter android is substituted. A hunter android is already the same level as the target of the target, rouge, and will try to steal the missing balance and return to the machine to deposit it.
28. Death
Marked only by a skull and crossbones, this button requires the expenditure of 100gp per HD of the creature pressing the button. Upon successful transaction, it prints several documents requiring your signature. Deciphering the documents requires a DC30 Linguistics check which reveals the documents entail signing over the individual's rights to their soul. Once completed, a Greater Reaper teleports to your location and confiscates the character's soul. Vending Machine is not liable for any damages upon refusal to comply.
29.Power Machine
Though it looks like 28, the death machine, once the amount is inserted, and the documents are signed, The one who pushed the button and signed the documents gains the following powers. DRlevel/adamantine. Fly like the spell but poor maneuverability. Fire/acid/cold/electricity/sonic resistance level. regeneration 1 a round except against damage made by adamantine weapons. Haste, but only on themselves. +4 Strength and Con.
Warnings:The machine immediately vanishes. If different people push the button and sign the paper, the machine vanishes without granting any powers. A goblin has already used the machine and is one of the level bosses. No special disease, poison, or magic resistance is granted.

38. is indeed ironic because the bowl of cereal is totally destroyed by the flood of cutlery.
A numbered list of ironic things belongs in forum games. I will check for one before creating one.
41.Vehicle Vending Machine
They are tiny till the button is pushed. There are slots for plastic coins, places to swipe credit cards and slips, and a hopper to place treasure in. When a 3 digit number is entered on the keypad the display shows how much credits/GPV needs to be input for it to vend.
The vehicles all have size buttons on top and inside. One push to enlarge, another to shrink back down. Any occupants will shrink and grow with the vehicle. I'm going to start a separate topic.
