Magic items need great stories as much as they need great mechanics, and you’ll find both in Magwa’s Magic Item Compendium. The colorful item descriptions, striking artwork, and fun 5th-edition rules will draw you into the Vast Kingdom and make your next adventure come to life.

The book contains hundreds of unique magic items with backstories, 5th-edition mechanics, and excellent artwork. Additionally, there are new monsters, short stories, and hundreds of common items. You will even find three short adventures that you can use to plug right into your next campaign.

The book is broken into twelve chapters. Each chapter will have a full-page illustration and story page to introduce the setting. The items in each section share a collective heritage and add further glimpses into the world of Vasteel.

A Note From the Author

There are a lot of magic item compendiums for 5th edition in the world. Just a few clicks away, and you can find thousands of homebrewed objects and artifacts. While writing this book, it was hard not to become overwhelmed by the amount of content out there and ask myself what more I could offer.

What has helped me maintain my sanity over this last year and a half is a simple premise: magic items need a great story as much as they need great mechanics. What <em>Magwa’s Magic Item Compendium</em> offers that you won’t find in other collections is a setting that ties every weapon, wand, ring, and wondrous item together. The descriptions do more than explain the color or shape of an item—they provide context and connect each one to the rest of the world.

As you read this compendium, I invite you to embrace the stories, descriptions, and artwork as much or more so than the game mechanics. And as you bring items into your game, share the stories with your players. It will make your adventures more vibrant and colorful.
