Zapnag Launch


This is the launch of my first weekly project ever and I'm pretty excited about it. Magic items are one of my favorite things in a role-playing game. They're fun, weird, and they give players new options they could never have in any other way.  Magic items that are powerful or useful in a lot of general situations are nice, but I really like the ones that are strange and specific. Items that do something that is helpful and odd and allow for some creativity in how they are going to be used. 


This week, Stink Egg is very effective to solve certain situations and even get a little revenge, but its one time use. 

The Book of Storms seems incredibly powerful but doesn't really do anything useful to most adventuring (aside from making you seem powerful) unless you figure out some creative ways to apply it.

The Block Button might seem like a joke item (the concept is meant to be amusing), but its actually very powerful and useful. Still, it has potential drawbacks and  has the potential to create some absurd but dangerous situations.

The Mimic Cloak lets the player use the same fun, but highly suspicious trick of the classic D&D monster. It's a trick that might work wonderfully or might draw unwanted attention.


I've got plenty more items already designed. However,  I'd like to keep this project going for at least a year so I definitely have EVEN MORE items I will need to be designing. By the end of the year, it should be something close to 200 magic items. Feels like a lot to take on, but so far I'm having a lot of fun.
