Celtic campaign

 Currently running a celtic campaign set in (pre roman) Brittan. 

Have a mix of classes from the usual suspects.

Bard

Mage (fire mage)

Dwarf

Thief

Cleric (new character previous druid died)

Dwarven rune priest

Wizard

Calling my current rules set Castle Crawl Classics. 

Its a mix of C&C and DCC with some Index card rpg thrown in.

Not too dis-simular to what the Professor Dungeon Master of youtube DungeonCraft uses.

Still making new magic items, but i am now forceing my PC's to make their own items via rare and exotic materials.

down time

Sorry no new posts in a week. couple real life issues have cropped up to disrupt my daily routine.
I will resume sharing magic items this weekend or early next week.

Thursday continues with more magic items to inspire your game.

A few more fun items. Hope you can use, or they inspire you to create your own new unique items.




Phanton cat is a tribute to character from an MCC game that was a Cat Manimal with shrinking that was killed in play. The party was very upset their cat had died.

Wednesday wackiness, more magic items to delight





Item 4 was inspired by response to one of the posts.

I have made various items over the years but DCC has really amped my desire to create as the system behaves simply... every magic item is unique. No one churns out groups of the same item. Every magic item has a story behind it.

Just another Magic Monday, more new magic items for dungeon games.

DM record sheet

I keep a game record when i run a game using this sheet.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQyJIPhiuvvgok_ELIXGe-M7NWnLg12Huk-ifM273ar9zSw3Cw4EjI5-dzJuLDzetM6k0bZ0F3MApet/pubhtml


Who: Characters name
What: class and level
Wear: armor class
When: Hit points
How: special notes.

I keep a three ring binder of these, they were inspired by the old AD&D                                               
                                                   Dungeon Masters Adventure Log - Wikipedia

Found source of the magic item sheets i use.

https://dysonlogos.blog/2017/09/11/magic-item-certificates/

Credit where credit is due.
I love these certificates. i print them and trim them in different sizes to make my players struggle a bit to find items.

Also magic sword, the name struck me and i had to make a sword based on it.

Magic items for DCC

I can not remember the site i got the magic item forms from.The artist was a great mapper also. If they see my post i will update with proper credit once i am informed. 


You will notice the name of the ring is not pronounceable. That is intentional. The sequ points work like this...get 5 points role on the mutation table. Its a way for characters to slowly destroy themselves for power. 



All of the items should be self explanatory.
Hope you enjoy and put them to use.

The Doll art is by my artist friend Nick Leflore. If you like his art he is available to work on rpg items. Hit me up for his contact details.
