So I was having a lovely conversation with @princeofsparrows about magic and magical items and he sent me several links to very useful lists and tables. Those can be used by any DM to improve the game and set some more fun/challenge into the game without adding enemies or limiting themselves to always better armors and weapons.

My players usually discuss for an hour about the best way to open every door with a single rune on it (even if the rune actually just means “toilets”). So if I give them an omniously glowing fork and they will turn around it for half of the evening…

We decided to share with you some links with awesome ideas for loot (or your NPC merchants). The links below include (but are not limited to):

Belt of Pants: This belt creates illusory pants on the wearer. The wearer can suppress the illusion at will.

Digging Spoon: This tiny spoon can dig through any substance with a forceful push.

Hungry coin:  Cursed.  Will attempt to eat other coins that it comes into contact with.  Eats 100 coins an hour.

Crossbow of Whispers (Weapon, light crossbow): You can use an action to whisper a message and fire a bolt from this weapon at a target within range. If you hit, the target (and only the target) hears the message.

Scroll of Cure Blindness: Cures blindness when read.

So… The List™ :

Dakhem Uaid’s Big Book of Useless Magic Items - 200 items, some very useful some dangerous…

Alacrity’s Robe of Useful Items - 1 single item but it’s a robe of holding (kinda)

Goblin Punch: d100 Minor Magical Items - as stated in the title.

100 Interesting Magic Items: The first half - 50 items

donjon, 5e Random Generator - Weird Magic Item generator

(1) Reddit -  3.5 Or anything. DMs of Reddit! What is one of the weirdest homebrewed items you’ve given your players, that they appreciated?

(2) Reddit -  Hilariously Useless Magical Items - Post your ideas!

RPG.NET -  101 Silly/Useless Magic Items - You need to read through 7 pages of the thread but there are some very nice ideas!

1001 most useless (dungeons and dragons) magical items - There are actually 21 of them on this list but they are really useless. It could be nice to drop something like that on the players so they can have some fun…
