A couple
of years ago, I wrote an article for Wargames: Soldiers & Strategy which
was essentially a collection of unique magical treasures, presented in the form
of the auction. Well, I think it is time for a new auction, and I would
like to invite everyone to submit one item for the auction. I will
choose my 3 or 4 favourites to include in the issue, and everyone whose item is
chosen will get a free PDF copy of the magazine.
Here is an
item that was cut from that original article. It shows the format that each
submission should take:
--------
Sword of Wounding and Healing (Reserve
Price 400gc)
The origins of our next item remain
obscure. Probably it was a gift to a trusted lieutenant, or perhaps part of a
payment to a mercenary for services rendered. The blade itself is magical and
designed to burn inside any wound inflicted, a nasty piece of work. It also
contains one other surprise. The hilt of the weapon contains a small hollow
chamber sealed with a thick ornament of cut glass in the pommel. The chamber
acts as a vial, holding a tiny amount of healing potion, just enough, perhaps,
to keep one alive. Perhaps the language of the inscription on the blade will
one day be understood, and the history of the item will become clear. Until
then, it must remain a mystery. The bidding starts at 400gc...
This magical hand weapon has a +1 damage modifier. In
addition, the bearer of the blade can spend one action to drink the potion
contained in the pommel. This hidden chamber holds just enough healing potion
to heal 2 points of damage. Between games, this potion store can be replenished
by sacrificing another Healing Potion owned by the wizard. This replenishment
uses up the whole of the Healing Potion.
--------
Submissions should be no longer than 250 words, and
must contain both a narrative section and rules section. Submissions should be
sent to frostgraveowg@gmail.com.
The contest is open now and will run to the end of February, when I will choose
the winners.
Good luck, and I look forward to seeing what everyone
comes up with!

Great to hear that another issue of Spellcaster is in the works! I'll order 1&2 in print soon as they're both available
ReplyDeleteYeah, sorry about the delay. For some reason Issue 1 is proving a lot trickier to get set up for POD than Issue 2 was. We'll get there though.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the mecha ruleset in the issue 2. Gonna clean the dust of my Gunpla for this. Btw the spanish publisher of frostgrave, ht publisher, did an amazing job traslating the magazine un no time.
ReplyDeleteIf I have several ideas should I submit them all together or should I send multiple emails, one for each idea?
ReplyDeleteSorry, there is a limit of one per customer, so pick you best and submit!
