I'd support it. It would give you a quick way to show someone designs. Happens often enough that I could see a use for it in just that aspect. Just make sure it can't be used on pending stuff.

What he said.

Looking for interesting artifact ideas for small little fun things. Focus on RP (with or without functionality). Anyone?

I'd like to reiterate my deck of infinite tarot cards. >_>

It could have a fortune telling feature for RP purposes!

Something like DEAL FORTUNE would deal out 5 different tarot cards, maybe with some ascii art or something.

The player could draw their own conclusions on what the cards mean to tell their future.

Um, infinite tarot cards?

Yah, it holds one of each card, but you can keep drawing them. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Sorry, but we could never release anything that creates infinite items. Maybe a magic deck that fills with some random cards every month or something (but would that be worth it?).

I'm really looking for some ideas for fun, interesting toys!

How about a little evil eye, like a glass eye or something that you can use to "curse" people? It won't actually do anything but maybe give a few random annoying messages the the target every couple of minutes. You can only curse one person at a time. Give the non-coms a way to strike back at their foes without really affecting combat or anything or a better way to deal with bothersome people than just slaughtering them. It would have to be fairly harmless.

Ahem. This looks fun AND interesting.

How about an artifact palette that pops out random tints every month?

Well anything that increases spam affects combat!

Interesting idea though. Not sure if it's a 'curse' but maybe some sort of projection into the mind of one individual... hmm...

A set 52 card deck would be just great.
Instead of Hearts, Clubs, Diamonds etc. They could each be Lusternian tarot cards with suites like Celstia, Nil, Vortex, Matrix

Commands would be
DECK DEAL CARDS TO
DECK DEAL CARDS ON
DECK ANTE CARDS TO FOR GOLD (This would take the gold from thier inventoy, and place it into the deck of cards: Would require an AGREE command on the other end)
DECK BET GOLD FROM (Same as Ante, but doesn't give out cards, just puts gold into the deck box)
DECK DISTRIBUTE GOLD TO AND (This will split the gold in the deck evenly amongst as many people that are listed. Any remainder gold stays in the deck)
DECK SETTIP (This takes X percent of gold that gets distributed from the deck, and gives it to the owner of the deck); (so if there is 100 gold in the deck, and its set to 2, then the owner of the deck gets 2 gold into his inventory)
DECK SHUFFLE
DECK GATHER (puts all the cards back in the deck, nomatter where they currently are located)

You can still do fortune telling with it, but you can also use it to play games.

How about some kind of personality detector, you would need a better name for it though.
It would be like a little gizmo that you can scan people to find out random facts about them. They would be actually random facts that weren't really tied to the person you scan. Like 'gizmo scan Thoros' Gizmo says, Thoros secretly dreams about butterflies when no one is around or Thoros once killed a man with a dirty look, just to prove that he could.

Could be lots of fun.

Don't things like that sort of kill rp? Though I understand they are fun, they always seem to umm, pull me out of the game.

edit: Random idea: edit 2:

Maps to the Rich and Famous
RICHMAP READ:
Lists the current Great houses: (this should be interesting like, a madlibs sort of deal wit the greathouses mentioned. Like a bad tourist trap map)
RICHMAP LOCATE :
Lists the cities/communes that that greathouse has members in: (could also be done in madlibs style)
RICHMAP TOUR
Lists the names of the Manses that belong to members of the greathouse, and which portals they are connected to. (Also madlibs style)
RICHMAP VIEW
Gives the Room description to the main room of the Manse. (The room directly connected to the portals) (just the straight room description as if they were there viewing it)

RICHMAP PERMISIONS:
Sets who is allowed to read the map.
RICHMAP SELL MAP TO FOR DAYS
Gives the map to someone and stays in thier inventory for x IC days.

That would be neat, or you could have like a sub-standard treasure map that sends you on a wild goose chase that never ends in finding treasure.

Roulette Wheel of the Angels/Demons/Tides/Stones

A simple roulette wheel, similar to the spin-the-bottle, that produces one of five outcomes at random, based on which wheel it is. Each outcome could come with an emote or effect based on the personage displayed. For instance, rolling the Wheel of Angels, one might get Raziela, a result which might emit a pink heart from the wheel. On the Wheel of Demons, one might get a result of Nifelhema, causing a thin coating of blood to ooze over the sides of the wheel. The Wheel of the Tides and Stones would be based on the Elemental Lords, and might give a phrase one of the Lords or Ladies might say, similar to the dolls already existent for the various half-formed and ascpects.

It'd be more likely that bothersome people would be the ones using them.

Anyway, what about the "Rune of Randomization". It can be attached to Runebags, Tarot packs and Dreamcatchers to make them nondecay, vastly increase their storage space and allow someone to SHAKE/SHUFFLE/SHIFT the object to get a random rune, card or mote. The first two make them worth buying if they're cheap enough, and the last one allows runists and tarotists to use their skill for fortune telling.

runebags are already nondecay.

Something that can give the i'Xiia Asylum curse! *flutter*

I still want my perma-ad artie.

If you want it to be fun, you could attach a bit of code to make a spiffy design occur across the page of the ad by alternating the placement of multi-coloured asterisks on the ad, but I dunno if you wanna go into that much codework just to make an ad sparkle. >.>

Hook hand: You can WEAR HOOK LEFT or RIGHT and it will show up in your short description. You can't wield anything in that hand, but it would sure look cool.

Also, it would add +10 to pirating skill.
