10 More Magic Items Analyzed with My Crafting System

A few years ago, I aimed to reverse-engineer the crafting system in D&D 5e and find a better formula for balancing custom magic items. I'm really proud of what I came up with, and it was fun to see how several existing magic items in the DMG fit it more or less perfectly.

I'd be surprised if anyone hasn't seen the original Avatar: The Last Airbender series yet, but if you haven't, then stop reading this blog and go get a Netflix subscription and watch it NOW! There are very few series, if any, that have better worldbuilding, character development, and storytelling than Avatar, and I hope by exploring its storytelling tools, I can reverse-engineer ways to add engagement in my own stories and roleplaying games. The main aspect I'm going to be discussing is variety and contrast. The variety of places, things, concepts, characters, and pacing in the show are what I think make each episode and season unique, and what contribute to a rich narrative that is hard to stop watching.
