To round out myposts statting up magic items from the first two Dragon Quest games for The Saga of the Ortegids, here's a few magic items from Dragon Quest III.| Tales of the Lunar Lands
Continuing off my last post, here's a few more magic items for The Saga of the Ortegids, each based off items that debuted in Dragon Quest II. Stay tuned for the conclusion to the trilogy next week.| Tales of the Lunar Lands
The original Dragon Quest doesn't have a lot of notable magic items, but there's definitely enough for us to work with - and what's there is iconic enough to frequently show up in later games. Here's a few magic items for The Saga of the Ortegids - they may also work in other campaigns.| Tales of the Lunar Lands
Now that I've finished documenting every major location in the original Dragon Quest trilogy for The Saga of the Ortegids, my next priority is going to be statting up a few magic items from the games. I've used them plenty of times in my campaigns, but it's high time I got something written down somewhere. I'm going to make a series of posts detailing some key items from each of the first three games, but I think it warrants a separate post for the Arms of Erdrick - the equipment used...| Tales of the Lunar Lands

Adventuring is dangerous business. Dungeons are filled with monsters, tricks, and traps. The wilderness is littered with small armies of orcs and bandits, and strongholds ruled by hostile high-level characters who demand jousts or tribute in the form of magic items, or send player characters on quests via geas to obtain such items.| Blog of Forlorn Encystment
Storytelling games are as ancient as humankind. In his most-known book, The Decameron, the medieval Italian writer Giovanni Boccaccio (1313–1375) narrates how a group of young people manage to exorcise the fear of the Black Death spreading in Florence through the art of narrating stories. Many of them contain fantastic elements—even magic items are cited… […]| Kobold Press

A hundred spells Phandaal personally had formulated — though rumor said that demons whispered at his ear when he wrought magic. Pontecilla the Pious, then ruler of Grand Motholam, put Phandaal to torment, and after a terrible night, he killed Phandaal and outlawed sorcery throughout the land. The wizards of Grand Motholam fled like beetles […]| Silverarm

Over on the Dungeon World Discord, Razorkiss asked this interesting question:| Spouting Lore
I had just downed a coffee stout and a bunch of cookies last night, so I was feeling both wired and unfocused. That's my perfect state for brainstorming, so I challenged the DW Discord to help come up with 40 minor magical items for thieves. We got 41 in 39 minutes. (#42 came to me while I was compiling this list.)| Spouting Lore

The Magic Item Shop seems to be an artifact of many people's teenage flounderings with the game, one that seems to be almost universally scorned in these Latter Days. A lot of campaign settings I own explicitly state that such a thing as a place where enchanted goods are freely bought and sold does not exist, often in an attempt to reinject mythic quality to these wondrous objects. It's a laudable instinct, but I prefer to rehabilitate ideas rather than exclude them. To whit, here's a couple ...| Craggenloch Tribune
