New tag: Bad Items

A little while ago, somebody said their DM refused to let them use items
from this blog. (I can’t remember who, and thanks to Tumblr’s bizarre
set of multiple messaging systems I can’t find the conversation now.)
It’s probably because it’s all too wacky and the DM is no fun trying to build a cohesive and believable world, but maybe
it’s because I’m terrible at balance and if you hit “random” you’ve got
a good chance of your 3rd level fighters winding up with something that
can kill a god, so to make things more fair I’ve started a new tag: Bad Items.
It’s hard finding items that are indisputably bad, so right now it’s
mostly just tainted food, backfiring weapons, and ineffectual clothing,
but I’ll be developing it as time goes on and hopefully it will even out
the possibilities of that “random” button if instead of dress that lets you fire missiles at will, you might get a moldy sandwich or the Terrible Hat.
