Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable?

Once they've found an empty vial, a ten foot pole or some other random gubbins such as a hammer and spikes, they invariably start to ask themselves: "What would an adventurer want with some of these?"<br />Another trick I use is the one-armed adeventurer in the tavern. He doesn't just spread rumours about dungeons. He tells stories about the time so-and-so's mirror saved the party from Medusae. <br />Like Al's method, it's a good way to get them thinking outside the box a little. It's great fun watching new gamers re-invent old tricks that way.Dangerous Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11494853825931603065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3094937232522894470.post-89927709736461502842010-11-23T11:16:43.731-08:002010-11-23T11:16:43.731-08:00Another aspect to this would be dosing the megadun...Another aspect to this would be dosing the megadungeon with a few magicked versions of these mundanes... A whetstone that temporarily imbues double-damage to edged weapons anyone? Manacles that Silence those shut in them? A hand-mirror that sheds light (as a bullseye lamp) on command? A 10' pole that automatically parts mundane webs, nets, and snare lines?
