I enjoy handing out things that aren't in the system books. It adds something and this lets me make unique and unusal items.
I'll spend time rolling up a bunch of these and writing them on index cards (I put the the roll in the upper right corner so I can go back and reference it if needed) then I can hand them out as-is or attach some magic property to it as desired.
They can take some time to roll since some items require additional rolls to complete the description. But that just ads to the randomness.
I've altered the symbols chart for my game settings and made more suitable items but as-is you can make great stuff.
I highly recommend this for anyone running sandbox games.
