The 100 magic items challenge
To help improve my creative writing and design skills, I have challenged myself to write 100 magic items for 5e, one per day. At the end I will compile the items in to a book!
Each item is inspired by two randomly generated words. The first word is generated from a list of all the words in the 5e SRD, weighted by frequency. I'm calling this the theme word. The second word is from a randomly selected from an 8,000 word dictionary. I'm calling this the wildcard word.
I go in to more detail about how this works in the generator's github repo.
I will be following these self-imposed rules:
I can't see the words until I'm ready to start work on the item.
I can re-roll of the suggestion is potentially offensive; or has no content e.g.
such either; or is substantially similar to a previous roll e.g.magic stoneandmagical pebble. I will included discard rolls in the description if I can.I can prepare only up to 5 days ahead. This ensures I'll always have an item ready to post even if something comes up, while removing the temptation to do everything at once.
The first item, [[trowel-of-plant-repulsion]] is already up!
