[Zenith Games] 365 Magic Items

[Broken Zenith]

Benjamin Medrano has made something incredible with 365 Magic Items.

Inside you’ll find weapons and armor, shields and rings, rods, staves, crowns, and wondrous items of all sorts.

You’ll find magical sets, such as the celestial crescents and set of the fool. You’ll find sets of sin ranging from envy to wrath.

Within are weapons of incredible power, such as bonedrinker, blade of the moon, and the elemental wheel. Alongside them are commoner tools, such as the coin of good fortune and magistrate’s gavel.

Have a character concept? You’ll find something for it within. Need a campaign-driving MacGuffin? Try the pearl of life or crown of the necromantic lord (or dozens more).

Maybe you’d like an eternity seal to lock away a cursed treasure? Or an ephemeral breastplate for a quick escape? Or a clone amulet for the ultimate backup plan?

You’ll find all that, and hundreds upon hundreds more, within.

Enjoy.

You can check it out on Paizo, RPGnow or the Zenith Games Blog.

This clearly took a huge amount of work and dedication. There's 365 magic items (actually more with the lesser and greater versions of some), including matching sets, with accruing bonuses, and even two or three scaling magic items.

It starts out solidly and does what it claims; dives right into the magic items (starting with magic weapons and the annihilation blade). While a blade that can powder your enemies may not suit the play-style or level of every reader, that's the cost of being alphabetical and within a few more items you're already looking further and further in for that one rapier, hammer, or bow that suits the character you've been planning. So while this tome won't grab you with the catchy, dramatic, or world-shaping opening line of an adventure module, story, or series (which the author, Benjamin Medrano, can handily pull off), it's the beginning of a compilation of creative ideas for items and magic-imbuing devices to spur your imagination and touch on the creator inside all us GMs and make players longing for more loot start salivating.

This was clearly a near herculean labor at designing, editing, and having to cull and pick favorites to share with the world and fellow gamers but there are a lot of gems lurking in this hoard and even more treasure from the inspiration they provide. Sometimes, just the description of one or two awesome items creates a new plot, encounter, or even adventure itself as ideas for the item's use spring to mind.
