At some prompting from friends, I started a new gaming blog, Lost Arcana.
I really enjoy writing about gaming ideas, magic items in particular. It's partly spawned by my hatred of the typical "+3 sword" in gaming, but I really get a kick out of writing magic items that are powerful and interesting, that give players difficult choices and feel like they are well, magical. I generally play diceless/low-system games, so my items are all system-independent, but they should be pretty easily adapted to whatever system you want to run them in.
I'd love to hear people's thoughts, critiques, and suggestions. I'd probably even be up for writing a signature item for your BBEG, legendary hero, or beloved character, if the mood strikes me.
Thanks,
Perakles
