The Lazy RPG Podcast - D&D and RPG News and GM Prep from Sly Flourish
The Red Portal Part 1 โ€“ Dragon Empire Prep Session 12

Nomadic village, uprising started, wiped out by dragon fire, small village, north of Sarkland. Look at me. Sweet relief. I actually already did the same thing. Yeah. And I think it would be fun to have a name for this village. Krivus? The village of Krivus. whose name is now illegal because it's like the village was wiped out. There was a resistance group there.

The village is wiped out and no one knows the name and anybody that does, it's illegal for you to speak it. I think that'd be cool. So I'm digging that. So these are, these kind of count as secrets. They're kind of just character hooks, right? These are the things that sort of draw the characters into it. A couple of things that would be great. I think I, I can't remember.

Let me check my session notes again, but I'm pretty sure I didn't put it in here. Yes, so I did. So I said, like, who's got what magic items?

Mateo, I don't know if has any magic items.

Tolstoy has the Puzzle Box, which is pretty powerful. And Emmert has the Necrotic Circulative Blasting. So there's lots of opportunity here for more weapons, right? For more magic items. And I want to make sure that like the items, when I'm looking at items, I want items that fit the characters who are actually at the game today that also don't have magic items currently.

That's really something you only have to worry about at your earlier tier, because eventually once they have at least one good magic item, there's a little less pressure of like, Hey, make sure they have good items. But a lot of times, um, A lot of times I think it is valuable to think about an item that really fits the theme of the character.

Often that's a weapon or a magical implement of some kind. You know, something that does it. And it can be useful to kind of look at the character. Why don't we do it right now? We'll do it right now. Do it live. If we look at the characters, but we'll look at the ones who are here today. And I know Cal is gone and Gaudensia is gone. So Amavyn is around. Amavyn has an armor of swarms.

But we'll make a wish list. And I'm going to guess what they might want. Emivin being the rogue would probably love a magic bow or magic light weapon. Everyone loves that. Rowan the dwarf would love a magic battle axe because he fights with a battle axe. So almost certainly would like that. That's a wish list item. Let's get that out of there.

Mateo would probably love an instrument of some sort, right? A mechanist's implement. Tolstoy has the puzzle box, would probably love wands. And Emmert would probably love also probably the same kind of thing, magic bow or magic light weapons.
