15 Years Ago I wrote the first half of 100 Interesting Magic Items. Perhaps I'll finish it for the 20th Anniversary. This is by far my most viewed blogpost of all time, perhaps because it feels like it could be D&D content. Guess I really fucked up by making my own games!
It's cool to look at this as a list of proto-Oddities/Arcana before Into the Odd was even an idea for me. A few favourites that I think hold up:
- Digging
Spoon: This tiny spoon can dig through any substance with a forceful push.
- Eternal
Chessboard: Anyone playing chess with this set cannot win or lose a match.
It simply goes on and on no matter how many moves the players take.
- Karma
Vase: Filling this Vase with expensive drink will cause it to drain away,
but cure any ailments or damage affecting the pourer. Breaking the vase
will kill the breaker.
10 Years Ago I showed what a https://www.bastionland.com/2014/07/a-great-fighter-in-into-odd.html looks
like in Into the Odd, focusing on mostly non-mechanical factors. I guess
I'm saying "get good" to the players, but I think it's still relevant
even with Mythic Bastionland introducing more mechanically powerful
characters.
5 Years Ago I did a Monster
Flashback looking at... a ten year old blogpost... oh shit, this blog
is just recursive swill, isn't it?
Seems as good a time as any to look at the generated art in
this old post, back when GANBreeder was this weird thing you could use to make
incoherent alien visions. Different times, for sure, even after just five
years.
