*Aestele’s Aerophone*

*Aestele’s Aerophone*

Carved from the horn of an ritually slaughtered elk, this simple musical instrument is set with glyphs that represent bound locations. When played properly, Aestele’s Aerophone may be used to command the environment to perform the wielder’s bidding. A newly created aerophone holds 3 charges.

* The effect is either smaller or larger than you intended.

* Something valuable is destroyed or lost. Your GM will tell you what.

* A dangerous spirit or creature of the land is disturbed by your actions.

Magic Item (almost) Monday

Peg-leg Pete’s Peg Leg

Peg-leg Pete had an island shaman make this enchanted artificial leg from a shaft of corewood out of the island chain’s most holy grove. Then he snagged it and ran without paying. A few weeks later he fell overboard during the recovery of a skiff and was crushed between the vessels.

When Peg-leg Pete’s Peg Leg is submerged in water, all wood within a few dozens meters is drawn towards it. This pull is fairly weak… usually… and was used by Pete to pull in driftwood or use the ‘tug’ to find submerged barrels or chests. It exerts about twenty pounds of pressure and acts almost identical to a “wood magnet”

The Will of Sir Winston the Bard

When you read the will of Sir Winston the bard roll + CHA:

On 10+ you find something useful and/or valuable has been left for you in a nearby steading

On 7-9 you find something useful has been left for you but choose two:

It’s far away

It will cost some money to retrieve it

It comes with a favor asked by Sir Winston

On 6- You find there is a bounty on your head/capture or that you are in debt

A pair of worn gloves which are stained with blood.

A pair of worn gloves which are stained with blood. These gloves seek the beating heart of others. When you grab a fresh heart while wearing the gloves, you gain immense satisfaction and pleasure. When you fight with only your gloved hands with the intention to kill, you deal +1 damage and the tag messy. While you wear these gloves you can sense every heart that beats within 30 paces of you.

I collected all the suggestions and feedback, and here’s the result…

The cards by Sam Bosma are the BOMB. I’d so totally buy the hell out of a deck of these Sam. Just so y’know.

Boordrum the Eyeless, architect of the spherical Kattatonian Palace, tested the magical principles that made that wonder of the world possible on smaller spheres. He considered them by-products of his work and threw them away, but they were salvaged and fetch a pretty penny on the street, where they’re commonly known as Boordrum’s Balls.

Boordrum’s Shield

1 weight

An unusually heavy iron ball the size of a fist, scarred with thousands of cuts that form an intricate pattern across its surface. When you throw it into the air it hovers in a slow orbit around you at heart level. The orb blocks the next successful weapon attack (i.e. not claws, bites, spells etc.) against you, after which it falls to the ground.

Boordrum’s Compass

0 weight

This orb of bright white stone is the size of an eyeball. When you think of something you want to find and throw the orb into the air it hovers at eye level, settling near you to indicate a direction. Roll+INT. * On a 10+ both. * On a 7-9 choose one:

• the orb shows you the safest way to the goal.

• the orb shows you the quickest way to the goal.

Boordrum’s Wings

-1 weight

Two spheres of flawless, slightly blue tinted glass, these orbs have almost no weight at all. As long you hold one in each hand, you are completely weightless. As long as they’re on your person (in a pouch, backpack, etc.) your load is also lightened by 1.

Feedback welcome! This feels like it’ll become quite a large series of items over time – feel free to add your own. 🙂

It’s a quandary: players find a magic item.

It’s a quandary: players find a magic item. Unless it’s a sword that bursts into flame when drawn, chances are that it’s use isn’t obvious. Staying strictly in character about it, they may never really understand what it does.

How do you GM this? Make them bring it to an expert for examination? Roleplay discovery by accident? Just give them the full description when they find it? And if do, how do you work that into the fiction?

Anglekite Art!

by the magnificent Juan Ochoa

An item this time — the Scabbard of Self. Drip some blood into the scabbard, or cut off some part of yourself and put it in, and it’ll grow you a sword made of you. Sharp, light, tough, powerful — but if the sword breaks, so do you.
