Loot Jazz Age Style

Im a huge 20s and 30s fan and enjoy silent film. I have run Cthulhu, Gang Busters and my Cthulhu Metropolis and pulp games set in the era so here are some treasure tables.

This is one of my Louise Brooks things I've used on murals and design for years. She is one of my heroes. I find writing easier and lazier but i have foolishly started carving up building foam Ive been stealing from a building site dumpster. 10cm inch thick and meters long so im making up some roadwar terrain but if I get a foam cutter I could be really dumb and carve out a dungeon for a con or make some buildings for marvel. So might slip into art again. I prefer to have a basic income covered as a artist for hire then I can say no easier. The city I in now has a superficial love of arts and tends to rob artists at the same time. Started my course this week to.

Anyway. Robbery Jazz Age Style. The results on table are things to pick from you don't need them all. Mix and match as you please. It's just a quick guide to help you adlib this sort of stuff. Anything could be a clue also. Papers might have circled articles. That medicine could be Lysol. Use as a springboard for your own ideas.
