"What's in the Chest?": Determining Treasure in OD&D
In this episode, I talk a bit about how magical items are determined in original Dungeons & Dragons from 1974. I also discuss the origins of the magical items known as "Artifacts". EDIT- I’ve realized in post that I called the Bag of Holding the “Bag of Healing”, and I just wanted to address that here. It is NOT a bag of healing. Although that would also be cool I’m not sure how that would work. Thanks for understanding. Email: roguishpursuits@gmail.com Instagram: @roguishpursuits Bluesky: @roguishpursuits.bsky.social
