[QUOTE="Heathen Oracle, post: 540185, member: 8205"] I had this very same problem in a campagn about 2 years ago. there were 2 Dms, myself and another at alternating intervals during the month. He was the Santa in this case, I am not particular nor really stingy, I like to balance things. The one thing I did that helped tremendously was, that I had them find a mystical shrine that teleports itself around every month (that way if they hear about it, they have time to travel to it), the only thing in the shrine was a sarcphagus with a rather recent runic inscription (not ancient). It basically stated that by sacrificing a magic item to it (opening the lid and dropping it in) it would give in return (by opening the lid and reaching in after a shimmer or something). Basically it was itself a portal created through worlds by a jokester entity, it would randomly give a magic item back (nearly always lesser than the one put in) . It actually became addictive to all the players as they would save every magic item and travel all over to find this thing jsut to gamble with it. It was pretty funny all they had to go through to get to it and crappy magical items they would get in return. Mind you, you would have to have a decent one pop up once in awhile to keep them hooked. I only allowed the exchange of 3 items per month per player. the possibilities were endless. We had a great deal of fun with it, only Magic items could be thrown in, mundane ones would jsut site there. V Shane [/QUOTE]
