A Dozen Unusual Magic Items

ADD TO WISHLIST >

In many fantasy roleplaying games, magic items are gadgets that are as fast-flying and hands-changing as the latest technical gizmo in our real world. Fortunately, your role as gamemaster allows you to take the occasional item and transform it into something more fascinating and wondrous than a simple +1 short sword.

It is for the adventurous GMs among us that I have crafted the twelve magic items that follow. Many of them may be low-powered and seemingly mundane as far as magic items are concerned, but each is special.

Special in what way? I’ve given each of the twelve magic items described on the following pages more than a basic description and overview. History has been crafted for each item, giving them a level of depth that makes them far more than just more magic trinkets.

As always, use the information that I have created as guidelines. Adapt, rewrite, and redesign any of my work to make it your own. I cannot know what is best for your style of adventure or what suits the taste of your players, but I can give you a springboard to get you started.

This PDF was created thanks to the support of 1,951 backers who joined in the Kickstarter campaign for A Dozen Sinister Rumors. Thank you to all of the supporters for making that campaign a success!

Good presentation and artwork, but the items are hardly unusual for a fantasy game (i.e. a cloak of protection or magic bags)! The value lies on the narrative of their descriptions. [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
