Auctioning Magic Items
Buying and selling magic items has always been a sticky issue. Where is a player going to get that Cloak of the Bat they need for their "Dark Knight". Ye Olde Magic Shoppe can tranform the session into Shopping: the RPG. Or worse¸ your session becomes the classic adventure "rob the magic shop". Auctioning Magic Items is a ruleset that gives players agency in the magic items they aquire. At the same time it provides DM's an opportinity for introducing NPC's¸ plot hooks¸ and adventures. And wraps the whole thing in an encounter that requires strategy¸ teamwork¸ and keeps the players engaged instead of making shopping lists. All the necessary rules fit on a one page handout for simplicity and clarity. The product includes a black and white page for easy printing.
