Barbarian’s at the gate, it always struck a cord as such an interesting phrase when I was young. I think it still does.
Shard of the Primal: This was one of the more fun designs and implementations. Besides the inherent and visceral idea of Rage, the idea that it taps into a primal urge is nothing new. Tying it to a Pri...

Continuing the trend of Randomness.

Who doesn’t love an odd table here and there for a touch of random.

Straight from the arsenal of Samhain, my little main.
Shield of the Dawnfather: Inspired by a cross of my last holy shield (Pikt’s Sarenrae Shield) and working in my deep love of Dragon Age. I have a soft spot for shields, seems that I always will. The shield cam together after that, I know I wanted a center slit for vision or use w...

Dwarven Crank Bolter: This was largely inspired by my love of the crossbows in Skyrim mixed with a love of crossbows in general.

History is awesome, I highly recommend checking out museums when in search of inspiration for items.

Straight out of my childhood.
Spinner Seedling: Who didn’t play with these as a kid, I know they are a midwest staple but they just seem so intertwined with childhood to me. Mixing that bit of childhood mysticism and a touch of the arcane was a special bit of fun.

A movie trope as an item.
Tools of the Blood Price: I loved the trope of burrowing into the skin for a tool to use in a dire situation. For this all I did was try to fit it into a D&D verse, with darker undertones. The blood crystals playing a homage to a few different fantasy stories. I had a lot of fun seeing how th...

A small throwback to my love of the movie Stardust!
Lavender Snow Drop: This has origins in one of my favorite magical items, altered to fit a boon. Given a bit of flair to fit the classic idea of a Bard, I really enjoyed seeing ways to make it magical without making it the delicate glass flower like the movie. I went with a classic a...

My first Brooch, and a much needed knick-knack for Wondrous items.
