[QUOTE="athos, post: 5308658, member: 32605"] I don't ask for wish lists per se, but I do try to find out what PC's have for goals and what they want to accumulate, find, create or buy. If what they want is reasonable, I will generally make it available through one means or another. Rarely though will I have it just pop up in a dungeon. The magical items I have on an adventure are those that the monster or NPC has accumulated and found useful, it has nothing to do with the pc's wants. If the monster is wielding it, it is because it is good for the monster. But, if they find a large two handed magical sword that the dead fire giant used against them, they might be able to trade that to a wizard who has an ogre for a body guard in exchange for a magical item they are looking for. This way, the magic items they find are there for a logical purpose, but they can still be traded, sold, etc. to acquire what the players want. [/QUOTE]
