I ask because E.N. Publishing will be releasing a book called Mythic Earth that sort of fits the same theme as your product idea. Mythic Earth is meant primarily to let you make the magic in your game -- be it d20 Modern or D&D -- be more mythical, more mysterious, more flavorful.Now I personally would think that any sort of book about such legendary items should never present just one version of each. That's simply selling their myths short. The great thing about myths is that they are reenvisioned to be whatever the teller needs them to be. Excalibur could, in a low magic, more realistic fantasy myth, be merely a +1 longsword. The only +1 longsword in Europe. It's sheath was the truly fantastic item, capable of keeping wounds from bleeding. The only truly fantastic aspect of Excalibur was that it could only be taken by the true king of England (or the Britons, or whatever particular butchery of history you're using for your myth <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />).In a higher-fantasy setting, it could be a +5 holy avenger, with the added benefit of giving the wielder +10 to Diplomacy checks.In my campaign, a postmodernist action adventure spanning seven cultures across the world, Excalibur is a blade that conjures a beam of pure sunlight, which King Arthur used to destroy the vampires that had threatened England. Unfortunately, at the Battle of Camlann, Mordred managed to bite Arthur, but thankfully he was delivered to the dark healing catacombs under the isle of Avalon before the sun rose. The hope is that one day a cure for the vampirism will be found, and Arthur will be able to return as the rightful ruler of England.So yeah, if you're interested in finding a publisher, I'd be interested in helping out.</blockquote>
