What it is about
Chests, as receptacles for treasure or ordinary items, can be common in dungeons as well as other places. This supplement has 100 descriptions for chests, ranging from full descriptions of their construction to oddities that they have. These can be used to add interest as a chest, or possibly be more, as a potential adventure hook or sign of danger.

Here are some sample results:
The chest is made from steel and picks up an electrical charge, which is discharged into anyone who touches it.
The chest is made from steel that has been polished to a high shine with a nearly mirror-like finish. However, things reflected in the chest always appear distorted.
The chest is made from unseasoned green wood. The planks are warping, and oozing sap.
The chest is odd to look at, because it isn't symmetrical, although it still functions properly.
The chest is odd-looking, as the lid is made from one type of wood, banded with iron, and the main body another type of wood, reinforced with bronze, as if it's been assembled from two different chests.
One page is the front cover, one the front matter and one is ads.
The supplement is also available in the following versions: 5E and Pathfinder. You do not need all versions.
