Probably will end up using this. Go to Comment

I feel this submission veers off in multiple directions without much focus. You have the scatalogical, followed by its use to magic-users, and finally some kind of reaction to non-magical folks?

It goes every which way without really providing the meat of how this tome is malicious. You mention using weak-willed mooks to do its dirty work, but what is it trying to accomplish?

Also, foul thoughts seemed to have nothing to do with the actual item.

Vulcan is the Roman God of the Forge. Hephaestus in Greek. That should be obvious enough :) Go to Comment

I enjoyed this more than Old Quag's entry :D Go to Comment

Part of the humor of my games is telling the players that they have died in some bizarre fashion, only to continue on with the story like nothing has happened at all. It's a good way to break the tension in the air. Go to Comment

I have looked a player in the eyes and told them that they'd died in some idiotic, random inane way. Then I continued playing like nothing happened.

Ever wanted a spell idea? How about something that duplicates an item on the list (and you guys complain about a -scroll- which is supposed to be a community effort being too short- well, add to it!)?

Not all games have to be serious- having some random guy randomly fall from the sky can be a wonderful encounter.

This isn't about killing PCs. This is about absurd ideas that apply to other areas in the game. Yes it's silly. Yes it might not be fun to pull on the players. Worthless? Hardly. Humor is an integral part of the games I DM, and little touches like these (Haven't YOU gotten sick of "You kill it." "You stab it and it dies.") can add personality to a campaign- even serious Bushido followers can enjoy a quick, tension breaking moment. Go to Comment

There was a greek myth where someone was so consumed by hunger (he ticked off the wrong god) that he eventually began to eat himself... that was the inspiration for that! Go to Comment

The Drawback being whoever has the sword is considered the Warden of Danamax- real or no. The text towards the end of the sub hints to it.

And not all good things must have drawbacks, they just usually do. Go to Comment

I'll get to work. Go to Comment

Good alternative options to acquire charges could be:
Automatically gains 1/day
Kill an enemy
Bring an enemy under half HP
Cause an Enemy to flee
Dip the bow in the blood of a powerful creature
Feed the Bow Blood (IE: Cut yourself to feed the bow... this could be used as a gambit.)

Update: Edited to make this flow with the campaign I'm running for my local players- and so it will fit in the whole Tarkona Danamar war. Go to Comment

Me like.

Some Additional Ideas:
You didn't mention that breaching rounds are great for shooting locks and opening doors.

Bleeders:
Era: Modern
A rubber projectile with a cavity in the tip of the bullet. Upon impact, the tip crushes, releasing any number of liquid contents. Most commonly used with fake blood to simulate shooting someone.

Black Talons:
Era: Modern
Rounds designed to deploy blades during flight to a target. Intended to increase the severity of wounds. Go to Comment

Heh. Might make it into CRTF if any of the players ever end up hallucinating.
