This is part of an on-going Web Enhancement series.
In issue 25 of my Dungeons & Dragons zine, d12 Monthly, there is an article by Mike Pike on creating random minor magical items. You can find Issue 25 for free on this site.
It allows you to create some truly special mundane minor magic items for your PCs to find.
In this post I want to list 12 minor magic items I created separate of the table, just in case you don’t have time to roll up your own.
Hopefully you can use these minor magic items in your D&D campaigns.

This is part of an on-going Web Enhancement series.
As part of creating my own campaign world, where all my Dungeons & Dragons games are played, I have created 12 Major Deities.
These are the main deities, but I also have fun adding minor deities using various techniques, but a great deal of them come from my players.
Every now and then however, I have the need to create another deity.

Muses are beings who embody the arts, inspiration, and creative endeavours.
They are considered the source of knowledge and inspiration for poets, musicians, artists, and other creative individuals.
Traditionally, Muses were part of the Greek pantheon, but in Dungeons & Dragons, Muses can be sent by any of the deities to inspire their artistic followers granting them the ability to create their finest works.
This can be a great way to reward bards, or other creative individuals, among your PCs.
Issue 24 of my Dungeons and Dragons zine is out!
Issue 24 is all about the Inns & Taverns. It will feature articles on various types of inns and taverns, tavern dice games, list of tavern entertainment, various bards with a new OSE bard class, magic items for bards, and much more! (See below for details).
A web enhancement for d12 Monthly, Issue 23 (Cities & Towns).
Sometimes articles get cut from the final issue for a number of reasons, so I have decided to include them as bonus web content. Enjoy!
Alignments in Dungeons & Dragons cause a lot of consternation and there is a lot of disagreements on how to use them, with some companies jettisoning them altogether.
And I do tend to agree that the nine point alignment system used in AD&D, and all editions since, when used on a personal level, isn’t the best.
It’s the D&D equivalent of horoscopes – trying to group everyone into 12 star signs.
However, there are areas where these alignments can be useful.

A web enhancement for d12 Monthly, Issue 23 (Cities & Towns).
Sometimes articles get cut from the final issue for a number of reasons, so I have decided to include them as bonus web content. Enjoy!
This is a retake on the ranger from Old School Essentials (OSE), but may be adapted to any edition or hack.
Issue 23 of my Dungeons and Dragons zine is out!
Issue 23 is all about the Cities & Towns. It will feature articles on placing cities in your world, city-based encounters, power of guilds, creating a thieves’ guild from scratch, a new adventure location, and much more! (See below for details).
A web enhancement for d12 Monthly, Issue 22 (Forests & Jungles).
This post is an extension of the Bountiful Harvest article in issue 22, which lists a number of trees and the resources they provide. Enjoy!
I couldn’t possible have listed all of the trees in the zine and I had to cut many that I wanted to include. Below is a list of three more trees and the resources they provide.
These can be used to add a little more realism and flavour to your campaign world; and to give druids, rangers, elves, and other nature types something to use for character building.
