[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 7592687, member: 23751"] An optional part, yes. The DM is not required to hand out the items from any official module, as magic items are entirely optional. The game does not assume them. I have yet to meet someone who does not hand out any magic items, but I have encountered DMs who make them very rare. It's fairly hard not to be successful at handing a list to someone. ;) Seriously, though, nobody is saying that magic mart doesn't work and isn't fun for people who enjoy it. We are saying that since 5e doesn't include a single magic item in the math and hands out tons of gold, magic mart breaks the game. Now, broken games can be very enjoyable to the right sort of person. It's just counter to WotC's game design to put out a product that is designed to break the game it created. Especially when it's very, very easy to just make the price yourself. [/QUOTE]
