Magic Items That Are Better Than Nothing (Table of Contents)

Check out our Kickstarter for our first book… Lost Artifacts of Greyghast!

Our Utility regards classification (my own) for each one’s imagined utility:

• Occasionally useful, but otherwise fine for any party and easily abandoned for better items later on.
• Stuff that requires some Trade-Off or tough choices regarding “is it worth using right now”; good for a party, but super-specific or better imagined than executed.
• Risky items, stuff that swings for the fences or is very complex–the benefits are significant, but narrow, and often limited or lethal.

If you cannot see the tables of content below (tabs for name, type, class, etc.–all pre-sorted), please contact us with the contact form in the above menu.

(and as we’ve had users draw several items and submit the illustrations, we’re thinking about launching a Kickstarter to get the whole collection–once we hit 200–illustrated by various artists out there in the D&D-scape online and available as a fully indexed, searchable, and color illustrated PDF…)
