Here are the rest of my first six weapons:
The Dagger of Tichanto the Fallen
Chaotic dagger +1,INT 7 EGO 5, COM empathy, POW control undead
Control Undead: the wielder makes a Turn Undead check as a cleric of equal level; a result of turn indicates the undead are halted and awed; a result of destroy indicates the wielder has exerted control over the undead and may command them at will.
There was a schism in the church of Saint Fiacra that ended with a rogue priest, Tichanto, and his inner circle buried alive under the stones of the church itself.
Entombed and overcome with thoughts of vengeance, Tichanto consumed his fellows while they lived. When he died, he became a Ghast and his entombed followers Ghouls.
Ever Tichanto yearns to escape his imprisonment and avenge himself but the consecrated grounds of the church have so far held him fast. That power, he has perceived lately, has started to weaken. Now, he prepares.
Fire-Belcher Flamberge
Chaotic longsword +1 / -1 vs dragons, INT 10 EGO 7, COM draconic, POW detect gold & gems / fire breath
Fire Breath: as breath, 30’ cone of fire, deals 1d6 damage per level of the wielder; one use, recharge by submerging the sword in great heat and flame for one hour.
This was once a gift from the great red wyrm, Xathrivrem the Belittler, to the leader of his cult, the anti-paladin, Kilperic. On Kilperic’s death, it was said the sword was buried at his side but rumor says the sword was secreted away by one of his lieutenants who have persisted in their dragon worship and continue to plot on behalf of Xathrivrem.
The Brass Staff
Lawful quarterstaff +1, INT 7 EGO 4, COM empathy, POW weal or woe
Weal or Woe: once per day, while the staff is held in the light of a sunrise, the wielder may ask one question that will be answered truthfully with a response of either weal (it is good) or woe (it is ill).
This staff, fashioned entirely in brass, was once housed in the temple to a Sun God. When the temple was razed, the staff was lost.
Dawnbringer
Lawful morningstar +1 / +2 vs undead, INT 7 EGO 7, COM empathy, POW detect undead / continual light
This weapon was forged for the war against the dread necromancer, Bailtang, and wielded by the patriarch, Gonalen.
After the cleric’s death, the weapon was housed in the church of Saint Fiacra, consecrating its grounds, until it recently, mysteriously disappeared.
The Fingers of Death
Lawful arrow +2 / +4 vs undead, INT 3 EGO 3, COM none, POW none
Only a single quiver of these arrows were ever made during the wars against Bailtang the Necromancer. During the final assault on his grim fortress, the arrows were spent and presumed lost. One, however, has since been recovered from a war memorial so there is yet hope the rest may be found.

Anybody else giving *Swordtember* a try this year? I am giving it ago, despite failing miserably at it last year. One wrinkle for me: I'm not limiting myself to swords. I hereby dub it, *Weaptember!* As it is also #WIPWednesday, here's the write-up on my [first weapon](https://www.patreon.com/posts/wipwednesday-1-88866219?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link): # Gorger, the Club of Blebazabu *Chaotic great club +2 / +4 vs Law, INT 9 EGO 8, COM empathy, POW illusion generation / detect law* This was the war club of the demon, Blebazabu, lost somewhere on the prime material plane. Legend places it at the bottom of a steep crater hidden under a sea of ice. Though the great demon cannot leave his abyssal abode, it is said his servants are ever seeking for the club. Woe betide the world should they find it!

rewarding roleplay with mechanical benefits? healing haikus and such
HexedPress

I had the thought of replacing the resource cost of spells in a system like an into the odd hack or knave hack with creativity.
How well this works is going to be very table dependent. If everyone playing are creative dynamos, they will go crazy with a system like this-- whether it goes too far or not will be on you as the GM. If only some of the players excel at this sort of thing, it will create an imbalance between a set of haves and have-nots: those who can muster up the haikus, insults, etc. and reap the benefits and those who can't. I tend to think that unless you carefully craft the effects and cap them in some way, it can get out of hand either way to the detriment of the experience as a whole.

I played in a one-shot at PAX East. I haven't played it as a campaign. If I were to run it, I would lean into the doom and the calendar and the like. As with other OSR games, I would set up an overall scenario that player-characters could be easily plugged into rather than a personalized narrative. I don't think MB would be my first choice if I were setting out to referee a campaign but I think it absolutely can work and, if I loved MB, I would not hesistate to run a campaign with it.

I think once you publish, the cat’s out of the bag. You can take it down on your end but I don’t know id there’s some right to force others to destroy it too. I think the digital world twists this a bit but, in an analog sense, if I clip something out of a magazine article and, some time later, the author retracts it. That had no authority on me if I want to reference it in an article that I write.

What makes these folk a faction is less about what powers they have and more about their active role in the world: what are they trying to accomplish and why?
It’s totally fine for these hermits to just be an interesting feature of that particular area— without any influence on the outside world— but, if you want to factionalize them, they need goals and motivations.
I like the concept. They sound like adherents to a god of lightning or storms. What might such a god ask of their followers?

I think there's a "safe spaces" element as well. It's not just the system-- the system becomes a shorthand for a whole host of philosophies and genre conventions. Ideally, there'd be all sorts of communities at an atomic level and through federation (or something similar) we would join all the ones that interested us and crosspost things that extend over boundaries or confound the boundaries that we've drawn. That's some of the promise of a Lemmy (or Reddit) but the reality is when end up in walled off silos instead of interconnected gardens.

So the other element is player expectations. Me— I personally might because I tend to expect those things, having played many TTRPGs. My daughter, who has no such experiential baggage, might not.
Back to HP, I’m not an expert on the lore but, generally, all the wands are interchangeable, right? Other than the three master wands or whatever they’re called. So in that case, a wand, like a mundane tool, might not need stats/mechanics.
Ultimately, it’ll be on you to set up the context and sell the players on the concept to overcome any expectations.
