Artifact Catalogues! it'd be similar to the Envoy idea (which I think would give bookbinders actual work), but it'd show all public designs, as well as any cartel designs that you're a member of (and maybe those that the trademasters give permission, like "DESIGN GRANT CATALOGUE TO VIYNAIN")?

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!


Hm, maybe. Depends on how many, I guess...another cool thing would be if it didn't have a limit on how many tarot cards you could put into it, too. It would be a pretty suave 'status' item, to have an artifact deck that held all of your cards.

That's one of my favorite D&D artifacts!

Can I re-suggest my Sacred Font (lets you offer corpses/esteem wherever you are, as if you were at a shrine of whatever god/dess you follow, when it's in your hands)?

One of my current characters arrived from a DoMT as part of his back story.


Now, on-topic:

How about "minor-artifacts" of each God. Something like "Slippers of the Red Masque", "Belt of the Even-blade", "Pipe of the Enigma", etcetera, that had some minor effect if worn, and allowed you to TELEPORT FULCRUX to go to that God's Master shrine on Avechna's Peak.

Elostian's Servant Bell

Ring Bell

Player hears "A soft chime echoes in the back of your mind"

The mental variation of when your ears jerk when you hear a sharp and loud enough noise.

Followers of Elostian know what I'm talking about.

That should be 5 cr as it would automatically have to include a Zimoru effect.

What's wrong with keeping its appearance?

"a glorious pegasus with glowing white wings" and "a glittering ebony taint wyrm with skeletal wings" are what I have and they both seem gender-neutral.

Some features are gender-specific and it would be nigh impossible for a reagent to know what's gender-specific and what's gender-neutral. It would have to reroll the descriptions if we add such an agent (and thus be priced higher than zimoru since it does more than what zimoru does).

Aww... Could you make it a pseudo-customization thing, then, if you didn't want to change the beast description beyond the he-s and she-s? I'd still be interested in that (not re-rolling, per se)? Say, 10cr, since it'd only be a simple change (Beast gender, plus all the he's to she's or vice-versa)? Or is this infeasable?

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




How about a doll based on Hagbard Celine from the Great Golden Apple? He was awesome! Plus I'm betting no one else even remembers who he is.

I will not yield on this! Cowbell artifact!

Nice idea. But who wouldn't just use the website instead?

The web site is absolutely horrendous with staying up to date when people change descs. For fun examples, try looking up Atellus, Lanfayr, or Lisarel.

The Great Looking Glass - 100 cr

Allows you to GAZE GLASS to see that person's current description, including jewelry, clothing, armour, weapons, etc.

Allows you to STARE GLASS to see who is currently standing at that room, respecting invisibility, yesod, sneak, etc.

Allows you to PEER GLASS to see what room a person is in, if on Prime or an aetherbubble or manse

Allows you to PONDER GLASS to get a random room's LOOK description, does not include mobs, players, or items

All of the functions are broadcast to the whole room. Must be placed in a Manse to function.
