The latest issue of Role-playing Tips in now online – Making Magic Items Interesting, Part 3.

This is the final of the three part series dedicated to adding some creativity to the usual magical items that groups find – being vague, creating an item history and even adding a drawback are all discussed.

In the reader submissions there are two tips that drew my interest, one being related to using fewer dice rolls to resolve large scale battles and the other dealt with communication within a campaign world.
