I'm trying to get a list going of common things in dungeons. Maybe things that go in shops, houses and taverns too. Then I'm going to hunt them down and add up the price and consider whether or not I want to get them all. But first I need to make sure my lists are complete, so I'm asking for suggestions.
I'd be getting pewter miniatures (b/c they're cheap) and painting each one a single flat color. Utility > looks. So please, please leave out walls, floors, bookshelfs, paintings, etc. EDIT: Please also leave out doors too, and 2D objects in general, sorry for not mentioning that. I'll be handling those at a later time; not now while getting pewter miniatures.
So furnish away!
