... or similar magic). Alternatively, you can use a bonus action to speak the deck's command word while holding either a duplicate card or the box. If you're holding the duplicate card, the original one magically disappears from its placement and reappears in the deck box. If you're holding the deck box, every placed card magically returns to it instead. Once a card returns to the box, it loses its magic. A card without its magic loses the star on its back. When found, there is a 50 percent chance that 1d12 random cards from 1 of its suits have already lost their magic.

𝗙𝗹𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁! Zinna sat down at the table with the ambassadors, who were enjoying a drink after the gala. It didn't take much to get a game of cards started, and she put on a great showing of being an inept gambler.

Not to worry, though. Later, she'd find their rooms to reclaim her losses—and fulfill the contracts on their heads.

No one could have guessed when they were dealt in that the game didn't really start until it was over.

💎 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺! Espionage Deck
Wondrous item, rare ___ This deck of cards resembles and can be used as a standard playing card set, complete with four suits (clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades). Each suit, like a normal deck of playing cards, has 10 numbered cards and 3 face cards (Jack, Queen, and King), for a total of 52 cards. The back of each card is dark black and painted with gold ink. The deck comes in a small and nondescript black box; you can see a gold star on the center of each card’s back while the box is on your person. You can use an action to place a card on another creature. If the creature is unwilling, you must first make a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check against its passive Perception score. On a success, the card is secretly placed on a creature and becomes invisible and intangible. On a failure, the creature is aware of the card, which magically and immediately returns to the deck box. If you played cards with the target creature within the last 24 hours, you have advantage on the Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check to place a card on it. A placed card creates a magical duplicate of itself in the box, allowing you to continue playing with a full deck—the star on the back of a duplicate card is white, instead of gold. Record which cards you place (including where you place them), as well as which cards are magically returned to the box. A duplicate card remains until the original returns to the box. While the deck box is on your person, you always know the general direction of any card you place, as well as which card it is, provided the card is on the same plane of existence as you. Alternatively, you can use an action to hold a duplicate face card to your forehead: while you do, you are deaf and blind with regard to your own senses, but can see and hear through the original face card using your normal senses. The effect ends when the card is removed from your forehead (no action required). Once this property has been used on a card, it can’t be used on that card again. A placed card returns to the box after 7 days have passed or when it’s discovered (such as by a “detect magic” spell or…. … Continued in the IG comments! ___ ✨ Patrons get huge perks!

The Counterpart Mirror is just one of the fantastic items to be found in Branderbiggle's Box of Baubles!

You walk into the apothecary, easing the heavy door shut behind you. The little bell above the door still rings, but quietly. There is no one at the counter or browsing the shelves. You're looking for…a potion? a poison? a curse? a cure? But there's no one here to mix one up for you…

I've been wanting to get into writing more interactive fiction, and I always have a lot of fun writing potion descriptions when I do my little potion paintings, so here's my first attempt at a solo rpg! You meddle with a poor apothecary's wares and come up with your own eldritch combinations to suit your own puckish purposes. This is a hack of @no-road-home's Alone Among the Stars (https://noroadhome.itch.io/alone-among-the-stars); available for free/pay what you want here as both a digital version and one formatted to print and fold as a minizine:

A random homebrew magic item because I just really enjoy eldritch light. As a concept. Light that is a weapon, light that is terrible. Also, bullseye lanterns look really cool?

Homebrew 5e Magic Item: The Baleful Glare

Wonderous Item, Requires Attunement

This battered black bullseye lantern, which has hooks to clip onto a belt, looks completely ordinary, save that its light compartment is sealed shut by a thick rust that no chisel or magic can remove. This is not a problem, however, as the lantern does not appear to require oil to work. Once attuned, the lantern can be lit or unlit by simple mental command, no action required. The lantern casts bright light in a 60ft cone and dim light for an additional 60ft, as do others of its kind.

Unlike others of its kind, this lantern can also be induced to shed a different, more fearsome form of light. As an action, the bearer can touch the lantern and bid it reveal its true, terrible glory. All creatures within the 60ft cone of bright light shed by the lantern are then forced to make a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, they take 12d4 radiant damage and are frightened of the lantern for 1 minute, convinced that something vast and remorseless and terrible behind the light can see them. On a successful save, they take half as much damage and are not frightened. Any creature who critically fails this save becomes stunned as long as they are within the area of the bright light for 1 minute.

This action can be used by the bearer up to three times before they require a long rest to safely use it again. If the action is used more than three times between long rests, the bearer takes a level of exhaustion for each use, as the terrible light within the lantern begins to wear on them as well as their foes.

What terrible force has been sealed behind the battered metal walls of this vessel? Is there some vast and terrible thing that looks out from it? And if so, what?

I have gathered a series of rats and pigeons in Skinner Boxes and subjected them to images of cursed and non cursed amulets. If they press a lever when the screen shows a non cursed amulet, a treat is dispensed.

The next stage is to show them series of amulets that have not been analyzed and when they press the lever they are still rewarded and the amulet is sorted as good.

And with this new system, I have overcome the damnable “A.I.” with real biological intelligence that will surely have no unexpected repercussions.

It's always good to have a hidden utility belt full of things that'll be useful for escaping a jail. Also, knives. Lots and lots of knives.

2 Magic Items for D&D

(text versions under the cut.)

Bag of Rats Wondrous item, common This grayish-brown bag squirms, writhes, and squeaks when held. Inside it are 3d4 rats. The bag weighs 1/2 pound plus 1 pound per rat it contains. As an action, you can dump the bag's contents out onto the ground, causing a swarm of rats to land in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you. Alternatively, as an action, you can draw a rat from the bag and place it in an unoccupied space you can reach. Rats from the bag are hostile to all creatures, including you.

Cloak of Nine Lives Wondrous item, uncommon This cloak has 1d8 + 1 charges. If you fail a death saving throw while wearing it, the cloak loses 1 charge, and you succeed instead. When its last charge is lost, the cloak becomes nonmagical.
