Welcome to the RPG Blog Carnival for the Month of February, 2021, on the theme of Gifts of the Gods, divine artifacts,
Such items figure in highly legends such as:
- The Aegis of Athena, the shield that protects her (and indirectly the Olympians).
- Mjölnir, the hammer of Thor, popularized in the Marvel comics and movies.
- The Yata no Kagami (the sacred mirror) of Japanese legend.
- And in fiction with such items as Stormbringer, the soul-drinking demonic sword and tool of the gods of Chaos.
A small number of such items, the thunderbolts used by Zeus, are mass produced.
So, let your imagination run wild! Make up new items or stat up those from myth, describe places where lost items can be found or quests set by the gods for those who wish to “borrow” item for an important task, what artifacts would your campaign villain seek? What is the craftsman of the gods working on?
I hope you find inspiration. Please leave a comment on this post with a link to your submission. As people post link, please take a look as the idea is to share, inspire and bounce of one another’s ideas. At the end of the month, all of the links will be collected in a wrap up post.
If you are not a blogger hopefully you will be still be inspired. If you start a relevant thread on Reddit or Discord or a forum or whatever, then please post a link to it in the comments so that can be shared too. The more people involved, the merrier! Let us create some wondrous things together!
My first contribution, the Third Celestial Armory.
Notes: This will be the third time the Sea of Stars has hosted the RPG Blog Carnival, the first time back in May, 2017 with the theme of Occult Mysteries, and the second time in February, 2019 with the theme of Making Magic Wondrous.
