It's funny in an "I can imagine one of my players coming up with this" way. Quirky and original, too. Not entirely practical, but for a lighthearted campaign quite useful. Have a 4/5

On a side note, imagine super magical birds being the supreme rulers, and their envoys carrying their bird houses hence and forth. Perhaps the UberBird has its BirdPalace linked to a hundred portable StaffBirdHouses!

Another fun idea that makes me wish I had thought of it. While in function no different from existing items like a portable hole or folding house, the thematic link with the sparrow-familliar raises it above the fold. I would just like to have some twist or drawback added, to prevent it from begin too good.

Maybe after exiting, one must make a willsave or one believes to be a bird for an hour? Or cats are attracted to the birdhouse, and can attack trough the hole?

Otherwise, 4/5 Go to Comment

Dear Cheka,
For some reason I do not see a voting button, only the possibility to leave comments. I thought that was the way everyone votes, in the comment-box. Go to Comment

Sorry, I do not get to see a vote button, only the comment-box. Something wrong with my browser? This website is one of my favorites to visit on my mobile when in train or bus... Go to Comment

It might be a problem with your browser, or it could be that the site is designed almost-exclusively for computer browsers. If you go to yonder forum, you can make a post asking Strolen about it.

But yes, you should have a voting dropdown box right above the comment box. Go to Comment

I agree with Siren, this fits my idea of how custom items should be. They should definitely have personalized touches.

  I think this is a brilliant item - a wonderful take on a portable extradimensional space.  

An elaboration on the enchanted furniture would be a sentiant construct or more, that were responsible for maintaining order. These would be named and have real personalities, and get annoyed when the staff was signifcantly disrupted.

 I would reduce the impact of using it as a walking stick as otherwise the constructs would go batty :)

 

Now, if the mage happend to take a tumble from a horse, or had to use it in combat, he would fret about having to deal with his annoyed servants.

Simply put: genius!
I was reading "everlasting chalk, usefully but bo.... Wait what, Troll Kidney Stone?!?"

That is terribly disgusting. And extremely creative. +1 for the combination of creative and useful.

Clever! I want one. Quirky and useful. I like the detail about the trolls not giving a hoot :)

Truly odd. It is a unique idea, though I don't thnk there is a lot of call for it :)

Cute and disgusting at the same time. I like it. 

* d_d wonders what other bit of disgusting monster anatomy could have practical use...

Everlasting Chalk, or Kidney Stone, made from the regenerative properties of a Troll.

I like this idea. Makes sense and humourously creative. Good job.

Sometimes its the little details that make a setting. I've been thinking about this for a while now, and I can honestly say that I don't think I could think of a cooler kind of chalk. Go to Comment

Brilliant!  I would love to see a quest where a party of newbies is convinced to become partners in this sort of "business venture."  Their sponsor gives them a sample of the *very expensive* chalk, talks up the potential market value of the product, and strokes their egos a little.  He then has them sign a contract as harvesters, and gives them vague directions to the nearest source.  When they arrive, their contact in the area explains exactly what they are supposed to do. . . and reminds them of the severance agreement in the contract they signed if they refuse to go through with collecting these things.

I share Echo's sentiment. This is very descriptive and well written, but how do you get there? How can you, like Virgil in Dante's Inferno escape again to warn others of their grime fate? Go to Comment
