Magic Item Histories

[Scribble]

Does anyone know of a good like list or product that has a way to quickly generate magic item histories?

No Scrib, but its a good idea.

And if no product can be found then surely the people here could develop a good system. Seems like something Reynard and others would be good at.

Ultimate Toolbox probably has a table or two about this...

If they did, that would be awesome...

I like the idea of items having back stories, but sometimes it's just easier to randomly generate that history, as opposed to having to come up with a new story each time.

Reynard posted a few threads with tables for Magical Item Histories, and one for Orc Tribe Backgrounds. I wrote a quick and dirty little .NET app to generate them for you:

Awesome! You rock!

I will give you experience points. (And I will give Reynard some too.)

Indeed, about 6 or 7 IIRC. There are tables to determine names, when created, by who, lore, last known whereabouts, and more. Then there's 20 examples given. This has been a shameless plug.

And this is why I keep asking you to quickly PDFize this book! DO IT! DO IT NOW!

also, you're from Mt Holly?

Crazy, I used to live in Atco.

Sometimes I hand the item to the player and ask what they think the backstory is. If I like it, it stays.
