II-36: Misc. Magic, Annotated

Page 36

 

Miscellaneous Magic: introduces some classic magic items from literature and lore into the game. These include crystal balls and flying carpets, again serving as the seed for referees to use their favorite books and movies as inspiration for magic in their games. 
 
Bag of Holding: a good workaround for encumbrance issues. We always harbored the secret belief EGG stole this idea not from luggage from Pratchett’s Discworld series but instead from the Disney’s Mary Poppins movie. We have no evidence to cite in support of this theory, just a gut feeling based upon us being raised in the same era and liking the same sorts of books and movies. 
 
Displacer Cloak: which came first, one may wonder, this cloak or the displacer beast in EGG’s Greyhawk campaign?
