[QUOTE="dave2008, post: 7972821, member: 83242"] That is not the point though. The point is that traditionally adventures provide new magic items. Like I said before, if you had to buy another book besides White Plume Mountain, just to have the magic items in that adventure - that would be a money-grubbing action. Simply providing magic items that are in the adventure is the opposite of that to me. The fact that 5e has not provided a dedicated magic item resource yet is irrelevant to the claim that including them in an adventure is straight up money-grubbing.

I still think a magic item book would be great, but I would not consider having a few magic items in each adventure as "money-grubbing" EDIT: I am sure there are also magic items in the setting guides, which I think would fall under the first category.
