(Useless/Surprising) Magical Items

So I was having a lovely conversation with @princeofsparrows about magic and magical items and he sent me several links to very useful lists and tables. Those can be used by any DM to improve the game and set some more fun/challenge into the game without adding enemies or limiting themselves to always better armors and weapons.

My players usually discuss for an hour about the best way to open every door with a single rune on it (even if the rune actually just means “toilets”). So if I give them an omniously glowing fork and they will turn around it for half of the evening…

We decided to share with you some links with awesome ideas for loot (or your NPC merchants). The links below include (but are not limited to):

Belt of Pants: This belt creates illusory pants on the wearer. The wearer can suppress the illusion at will.

Digging Spoon: This tiny spoon can dig through any substance with a forceful push.

Hungry coin:  Cursed.  Will attempt to eat other coins that it comes into contact with.  Eats 100 coins an hour.

Crossbow of Whispers (Weapon, light crossbow): You can use an action to whisper a message and fire a bolt from this weapon at a target within range. If you hit, the target (and only the target) hears the message.

Scroll of Cure Blindness: Cures blindness when read.

So… The List™ :

Dakhem Uaid’s Big Book of Useless Magic Items - 200 items, some very useful some dangerous…

Alacrity’s Robe of Useful Items - 1 single item but it’s a robe of holding (kinda)

Goblin Punch: d100 Minor Magical Items - as stated in the title.

100 Interesting Magic Items: The first half - 50 items

donjon, 5e Random Generator - Weird Magic Item generator

(1) Reddit -  3.5 Or anything. DMs of Reddit! What is one of the weirdest homebrewed items you’ve given your players, that they appreciated?

(2) Reddit -  Hilariously Useless Magical Items - Post your ideas!

RPG.NET -  101 Silly/Useless Magic Items - You need to read through 7 pages of the thread but there are some very nice ideas!

1001 most useless (dungeons and dragons) magical items - There are actually 21 of them on this list but they are really useless. It could be nice to drop something like that on the players so they can have some fun…

Now I will let @princeofsparrows to continue. He still has some things to add :)

It’s Murder time at college so everything’s chaos

You are a guard in a fantasy world. You notice a man in elegant armor kick a chicken in the streets. In your lawful rage, you manage to kill this man in the name of justice. To your dismay, you realize you just killed The Chosen One. You just doomed the world.

You have stumped the Spirits

Werewolf:The Apocalypse game.  In the middle of a purification ceremony we had a Nexus Crawler crash the party. It ended up fleeing only to show back up later upset. It seems as a side effect of appearing in the middle of the ritual (and the fact that we kept it going) somehow it had developed a conscience and demanded we fix the sudden feelings of empathy and guilt it had. Our Red Talon and Black Fury wanted to kill it immediately, while our Stargazer and Child of Gaia (me) though this might be too significant to just destroy. We decided to call upon a higher power and decided on Unicorn as the spirit most appropriate.

Unicorn: Why have you summoned me, my child?

Grace (Me):My Lady, we are torn as to the proper path of our duty. We are sworn to destroy all creature of the Wyrm, but also to heal all those we can. We managed to give a Nexus Crawler a conscience. Should we slay it as the spawn of our enemy, or take heart from it that even the Wyrm might one day be healed of it’s madness.

Unicorn. My child, you do not have to ask me this. The answer, the true answer, rests in your heart.

Grace:…Fuck, you don’t know either

Unicorn: You gave a Nexus Crawler empathy!

On legendry.

Lately, I’ve run across complaints that modern depictions of the Knights of the Round Table are too “anime” - giving them all sorts of goofy powers, and sending them on weird, over-the-top adventures.

Allow me to point out that the following are all actual things that appear in the older tales about the Knights:

Sir Kay is said to have had the power to grow to giant size, hold his breath for nine days, and radiate supernatural heat from his hands.

Sir Bedivere openly practiced sorcery, and suffered from an accordingly sinister reputation; on more than one occasion, he was saved from being hanged as a witch only by King Arthur’s testimonly to his good character.

Sir Galahad possessed supernatural strength and speed by virtue of his moral and sexual purity - making him a rare example of a male character with virginity-fueled super powers.

Sir Balin once wielded the Lance of Longinus, and blew up an entire kingdom with a single blow. He also fought an evil knight with the power of invisibility.

Sir Marrock was a freaking werewolf.

Conclusion: modern depctions of the Knights of the Round Table aren’t anime enough.

Ran’s Runes (divination tool in honor of the sea goddess)

From a dream I had. A plain mason jar with sand, shells, rocks and sea glass from our local shores. Added in small blue garden stones with runes painted on them. Simply turn and watch the changing sandscape until a rune - or several - are clearly visible to guide you. :)

so I’ve got this headcanon that Guardians of the Galaxy is really the Avengers playing a table top roleplaying game, where Bucky’s the DM who suffers through heaps and loads of trolling 

Mostly from Steve

Any prompts for a conversation between a demon and a human after a one night stand

1) “Do you have to say ‘oh god’?” the demon asked. “Feelsa bit odd.”The human didn’t open their eyes. “Our Lord Lucifer the Morningstar, Prince ofHell, Bringer of Darkness was a bit of a mouthful and you haven’t told me yourname.” “Well, you can drop the titles and just call me Luke.” The human’s eyes snapped open, heart jumping. Was that a joke? “Are you actually fucking Satan?” Thedemon glanced over at them, and raised a brow. “Well, technically you’re actuallyfucking Satan, but semantics.”

2) The human stirred in the morning, rolled over,and saw the shadow of ruined wings on the wall. Definitely still there. Justlike last night. “Holy shit you have wings.”“You can see my wings?”“I thought it was cosplay. Oh my god.” “How long have you been able to see my wings? You shouldn’t be able to.”“Since we met?”“And you just didn’t say anything?”“Oh come on, you’re at freaking comic con. Different stripes different types.” “What are you?”

3) “You don’t seem shocked at the fact that you’rein bed with Horseman of War?”“Honestly, all I can think is that I’m really glad you’re not Plague.”“Really?” The demon rolled over to give them a look. “This is why I shouldn’tstick around for breakfast.”“Hey, who kicks their dates out before breakfast? You weren’t that bad in bed.”Though this fact explained a lot.
