That is to say one player said he wanted to look around for a Elven longsword of great renown. He didn't want me to give him one he wanted to hunt for it but wante dto give me a warning so I could set it up.Another time a player kept saying he really wished he could pick up a cool crossbow. So when I had a chance to slip one in that made since I did. ended up he never used it and it went to another character who made good use of it.When I want to drop in special items I usually give them as gifts from people who owe or appreciate the characters. Once about 5-6th level the party was way under power for magic at their level and I wanted to bring them back up to a reasonable level without having to drop in big treasure hoardes or anything so the rgenet general gifted them each with some items and those items were excellent fits for the characters and stayed with them up to 18th level. As far as players asking for things that's cool to me since they often ask in general ways not for an exact item like wanting a cool longsword or a way to carry more gear and leave the actual item up to me. They always seemed to like my items I introduced. They always got excited when the gnome who administered the mages college store were items could be obtained (Store had maybe 20 items in it he mostly brokered item creation for the party) said "Check this out I just got in something new" He usually attributed it to the college's research department.later</blockquote>
