How do you determine what is needed inside them?

Perhaps it has an endless supply of really situation specific solutions for problems you don't have, things like shark repellent in a desert

Ammunition pouch is closed when you need to make a ranged attack, component pouch is closed when needing to cast a spell, money pouch when making a purchase etc...

Great at holding stuff for when you don't have an immediate need for it! Not so great if you do.

Cup of Glass Half Full -- When a drink is poured into this cup it transforms into a foul tasting viscous liquid that when imbibed in one sup gives the drinker the Blessing if Glass Half Full a magical feeling of optimism and advantage on saves against fear and other morale effects until the end of their next short or long rest.

However, when the disgusting drink falls upon the drinker's tongue they must immediately make a DC _nottoohard_ Constitution save. If they fail the save they are unable to sweep the cup in one go and they become affected by the Curse of Glass Half Empty and they are overwhelmed by a strong feeling of negativity and disadvantage on all saves against fear and other morale effects. This curse remains until it is removed with the Remove Curse spell.

Welp, just had a session 0 for a housewide we're-bored-because-plague RPG with me as GM. Went pretty well considering that I went into it not knowing what we'd be doing at all.

What about low fantasy campaign where the only magic allowed is ritual casting

Humans would have a pretty big advantage as casters at low levels due to being able to pick up the Ritual Caster feat at level 1. Everyone else would either have to wait for a few levels before they can do any spells or else put a level in a class that's only as useful as a feat that anyone can pick up.

Low fantasy that is actually high fantasy. The whole world is being kept in mud and poverty be cause the ruling class are magic parasites, demigods only because they each have the stolen magic of a million workers.

Wait, that's just real life, never mind.

Guilded Age (webcomic) had a version of that where the Sky Elves used conjuration to feed and supply their mysterious flying cities.  Eventually the other peoples figured out that conjuration doesn't make, it takes.
