Old Sword Repository: Swordtember 2021

Tired of every campaign having the same old bog-standard magic items?

Enter the Old Sword Repository and clad yourself in the steel of heroes!

Gear up with 30 new amazing weapons that offer unique and fun ways to impact the game.

Each weapon is stunningly illustrated with custom art. That is 30 pieces of unique and incredible art.

The items are easy to drop into any campaign and useful for any fifth edition setting.

These items will enhance the experience of your players and make your game feel different from all the others.

Created by a contributor on a Mithral award winning, top 1% seller on the DMsGuild, Tasha’s Crucible of Everything else, designer Nathan Doyle, each item is balanced for multiple tiers of play while still providing an item that your players will talk about in future campaigns.

Each item comes with a snippet of lore that can be seamlessly inserted into either the cultures of your homebrew world or into the established worlds of official fifth edition settings and popular third-party settings.

The Old Sword Repository is a product of what began as work on Swordtember prompts from the early days of the pandemic out of boredom and brainstorming. Creative exercises if you will.

My second go-round with Swordtember was in 2021. This time, I started with the art. I put out a call for artists, and three responded. They chose whichever prompts they fancied, and a few chose the same themes, but each creation was unique. After receiving the completed art, I designed the items based on the artist’s interpretations instead of my own.
