How would I go about making inventory for a shop like armouries and mageware stores?

@mattcolville I was wondering how would I go about making inventory for a shop in D&D and not just general stores but also armouries and mageware stores? I thought I’d ask you as you are my primary dungeon master source. I also can find anything to help me with this online.Thanks

You can do it the hard way and list everything the store carries. A useful shortcut is to say “you can find anything in this category worth $x or less.” We used to assign % to items and roll. “Do they carry this?” *rolls* “Nope!” But that can result in some weird edge cases. Edge cases like…they apparently carry nothing.
