“What counts most in the long haul of adult life is not brilliance or charisma or derring-do, but rather the quality the Romans called ‘gravitas’: patience, stamina and weight of judgment. The prime virtue is courage, because it makes all other virtues possible.”
-- Eric Sevareid
Geez, that looks fantastic. Still working up my plans (per my earlier message to you), will def reach out. Really appreciate the support, I mean it, thanks.
Name: Stormsong
Weapon (longsword), legendary (requires attunement)
Description:
Stormsong is a magnificent longsword forged from a rare metal known as thundersteel, imbued with the power of the tempest itself. The blade crackles with electricity, and swirling storm clouds seem to dance within the depths of the metal. Etched along the blade are runes of ancient power, shimmering with arcane energy.
Properties:
Lightning Strike: Stormsong grants a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it.
Thunderous Roar: Whenever you score a critical hit with Stormsong, the sword emits a deafening thunderclap that can be heard up to 300 feet away. All creatures within 10 feet of you when the critical hit is scored must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be stunned until the end of their next turn.
Storm's Fury: Once per day, you can use an action to unleash the full fury of Stormsong. When you do so, the sword becomes wreathed in crackling lightning, shedding bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet. For the next minute, all your attacks made with Stormsong deal an additional 2d6 lightning damage. Additionally, any creature that hits you with a melee attack while Storm's Fury is active takes 2d6 lightning damage.
Sentience: Stormsong is a sentient weapon with an Intelligence of 16, Wisdom of 14, and Charisma of 12. It can communicate telepathically with its wielder and has hearing and darkvision out to a range of 120 feet. Its alignment is chaotic neutral, and it possesses the following personality traits:
Stormsong is fiercely independent and seeks freedom above all else.
It harbors a deep-seated hatred for confinement and restraint.
Despite its chaotic nature, Stormsong values loyalty and will fiercely protect its wielder.
Curse: Stormsong is cursed, and its thirst for power can overwhelm its wielder. Whenever you roll a 1 on an attack roll made with Stormsong, you must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be compelled to continue attacking until there are no enemies left standing. Additionally, if you attempt to attune to Stormsong and fail the Wisdom saving throw, you become permanently attuned to the sword, and it becomes impossible to willingly part with it.

This is tremendous, thanks for this - every single point makes great sense. I really think diversifying across multiple platforms is great advice, and I will start working up a plan along that line. I love to create this stuff, and I do it because it's fun and because I'm hoping it'll add to other gamers' enjoyment, but the ultimate objective is to generate BTC directly, or to generate fiat that I can use to get started on accumulating BTC. I'm new to this, but I honestly believe that this is the way forward - I know it's late, but everyone keeps saying that it's never too late, so I'm working to try to marry up something I love with something I think is important for my future. I may be late for BTC, but I seem to be early-ish on #nostr as far as #ttrpg and gaming goes - like you said, establishing my presence here early can work to my advantage.
I also really like the idea of a daily schedule for releases - I'm going to spend a couple of days sketching out a plan for all of this stuff.
Again, thanks for taking the time to offer some great advice. That's been a feature of #nostr for me - everyone seems extremely supportive and wants others to succeed here. You've been a tremendous help, thank you.
#ttrpg #DnD #osr #mastervaelensmagic
Hey, thanks for the sats! What a surprise!
And yes, I did the free-trial thing with Midjourney and the results were spectacular - it's ideal, but unfortunately, it's a subscription service and I'm not quite there yet. If I can generate some funds with the magic items and generated characters, I'll use it to pay for a Midjourney sub and try to level-up my game a bit. Appreciate the advice, and the support, truly - thanks!
OK, a new magic item for AD&D 1st edition (for old-schoolers like me!):
Name: Ring of Elemental Harmony
Description:
The Ring of Elemental Harmony is a finely crafted band of silver adorned with intricate engravings depicting the four classical elements: earth, air, fire, and water. Each element is represented by a delicate gemstone set into the ring – a ruby for fire, a sapphire for water, an emerald for earth, and a diamond for air. When worn, the ring emits a subtle, pulsating energy, resonating with the elemental forces it embodies.
Properties:
Elemental Resistance: While wearing the Ring of Elemental Harmony, you gain resistance to one type of elemental damage of your choice: fire, cold, acid, or lightning. The type of resistance granted by the ring cannot be changed.
Elemental Servant: Once per day, the wearer can use an action to summon a minor elemental servant aligned with one of the four elements represented by the ring. The servant remains for up to 1 hour, following the wearer's commands to the best of its ability. The type of elemental servant summoned depends on the gemstone activated:
Ruby (Fire): A small fire elemental.
Sapphire (Water): A small water elemental.
Emerald (Earth): A small earth elemental.
Diamond (Air): A small air elemental.
Elemental Burst: As an action, the wearer can activate all four gemstones simultaneously, channeling the elemental energies within them to create a powerful burst of elemental magic. Choose a point within 30 feet of the wearer. Each creature within a 20-foot radius sphere centered on that point must make a saving throw based on the type of elemental damage chosen: Dexterity for fire, Constitution for cold, Strength for acid, or Dexterity for lightning. On a failed save, a creature takes 2d6 damage of the chosen type, or half as much on a successful one.
Activation:
The Ring of Elemental Harmony does not require attunement and can be worn by any creature capable of wearing rings.
#DnD #ttrpg #osr #nostr
Name: Aetherstone Shard
Wondrous Item (gemstone), rare
Description:
The Aetherstone Shard is a small, translucent gemstone with a swirling vortex of shimmering colors trapped within its depths. Its surface glimmers with an otherworldly sheen, radiating a faint aura of arcane energy. When held, the shard feels weightless, as if it is connected to the very fabric of the cosmos.
Properties:
Arcane Conduit: The Aetherstone Shard can be used as a conduit for magical energy. As an action, you can expend a spell slot to infuse the shard with arcane power. The shard absorbs the spell slot's level in magical energy, which can be released later as a bonus action to empower a spell. When you cast a spell using the empowered shard, you can roll an additional damage die for one of the spell's damage rolls. Once the shard has absorbed magical energy, it cannot absorb more until it has been used to empower a spell.
Resonant Amplification: When attuned to the Aetherstone Shard, you gain advantage on ability checks and saving throws made to maintain concentration on a spell. Additionally, if you roll a natural 20 on a spell attack roll while holding the shard, the spell's damage is maximized.
Ethereal Beacon: Once per day, you can use an action to activate the Aetherstone Shard, creating a beacon of ethereal light that illuminates a 30-foot radius around you for 1 hour. This light cannot be extinguished by nonmagical means, and it dispels darkness and magical darkness in the area.
Activation:
The Aetherstone Shard requires attunement by a creature capable of casting spells.
Value:
The Aetherstone Shard is a rare magical item, and its value is estimated to be around 2,500 gold pieces.

Name: Crystalheart Amulet
Wondrous Item (amulet), legendary (requires attunement)
Description:
The Crystalheart Amulet is a breathtaking piece of jewelry crafted from a flawless crystal heart suspended within a delicate silver cage. The heart-shaped crystal pulsates with a soft, ethereal glow, casting prismatic reflections in every direction.

Properties:
Heart of Healing: While attuned to the Crystalheart Amulet, you gain the ability to harness its healing powers. As an action, you can touch a creature and expend a charge to cast Cure Wounds at 5th level without expending a spell slot. The amount healed is 5d8 + your spellcasting ability modifier (minimum of +1).
Radiant Resilience: The Crystalheart Amulet grants you resistance to radiant damage while attuned.
Crystal's Blessing: Once per day, when you would be reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, the Crystalheart Amulet automatically stabilizes you and restores you to half of your maximum hit points. After using this feature, the amulet becomes dormant for 7 days.
Harmony's Embrace: While attuned to the Crystalheart Amulet, you have advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened.

Wanted to get started on #nostr, so I DMOR, which led me to nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 , which led me to Jack Dorsey nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m , which led me to this spot in time and space. I WILL create a successful business here!
Thanks, this is great information - I will have to do more reading to better-understand nostr marketplaces and how I can try to position myself to make this work. I know that what I create is valuable, it's just a matter of getting myself in front of the right people! Again, thanks a million.
Super-helpful feedback, thanks a million. Will def check out shopstr.store today - really hoping I can make a go of this. I truly believe in the future of BTC and am doing whatever I can to get involved. I know I'm not early, but it's not too late! 😀 Thanks again ~
So, a quick question for you more-experienced folks out there - are there ways for creators to offer a product in exchange for BTC, or is simply buying/trading/staking the only real way to accumulate?
I'm a creator for people who play tabletop roleplaying games #ttrpg, specifically Dungeons and Dragons #DnD but not exclusively. Are the BTC/nostr communities so exclusive of gamers that it's a waste of time to try to offer creative products in exchange for BTC?
Just looking for a little guidance; I don't have the disposable income to straight-up buy at an exchange, but would love to be able to turn my passion into a way to accumulate a little BTC and get ahead in this life.
Any guidance is appreciated - and if the answer is, "yes, you're wasting your time," then that's ok, too. I'll be disappointed, but at least I'll know. Thanks for any guidance.

Name: Whispering Willow Bow
Weapon (longbow), legendary (requires attunement)
Description:
The Whispering Willow Bow is a masterfully crafted longbow made from the wood of a sacred willow tree that grows in the heart of an ancient forest. Its limbs are adorned with intricate carvings depicting scenes of nature and the whispers of the wind. The string of the bow is woven from strands of ethereal light, shimmering with an otherworldly luminescence. When held, the bow emits a soft, melodic hum, as if the very spirit of the forest resides within its elegant curves.
Properties:
Nature's Grace: While attuned to the Whispering Willow Bow, you gain proficiency in the Survival skill if you do not already have it. Additionally, you have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made while in natural environments such as forests, jungles, or mountains.
Windcaller's Arrow: Once per turn, when you make an attack with the Whispering Willow Bow, you can choose to infuse your arrow with the power of the wind. On a hit, the target takes an additional 2d6 force damage, and you can choose to push the target up to 10 feet away from you in a straight line.
Whispering Winds: As an action, you can command the Whispering Willow Bow to call upon the spirits of the wind. When you do so, the bow releases a burst of wind in a 30-foot cone originating from you. Each creature in that area must make a DC 18 Strength saving throw, taking 4d8 force damage and being pushed 10 feet away from you on a failed save, or half as much damage and not being pushed on a successful one. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until the next dawn.

Name: Veilstitcher's Needle
Wondrous Item (needle), rare

Properties:
Fabric of Reality: As an action, you can use the Veilstitcher's Needle to mend tears in the fabric of reality itself.

On a success, the anomaly is sealed, preventing creatures from passing through it for 24 hours. On a failure, the needle becomes nonmagical until the next dawn.
Thread of Connection: While attuned to the Veilstitcher's Needle, you gain advantage on Intelligence (Arcana) checks related to planar travel, extradimensional spaces, or the manipulation of magical barriers or wards.
Weave of Fate: Once per long rest, you can use an action to unravel a length of the Veilstitcher's Needle's misty thread and weave it into a magical sigil. When you do so, you gain advantage on your next saving throw against a spell or magical effect targeting you. Additionally, if the saving throw is successful, you can choose to cast Dimension Door as a reaction, teleporting up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see.
Activation:
The Veilstitcher's Needle requires attunement by a creature with proficiency in the Tailor's Tools or Weaver's Tools.
Curse:
If a creature attempts to attune to the Veilstitcher's Needle and has ill intentions or seeks to exploit its powers for personal gain, the needle rejects them with a surge of arcane energy, dealing 2d6 force damage and breaking the attunement. The needle becomes nonmagical for that creature until attuned by a creature of neutral or good alignment.

The Veilstitcher's Needle is a rare magical item, and its value is estimated to be around 4,000 gold pieces.

Weapon (longsword), legendary (requires attunement by a creature of good alignment)
Description:
Dawnbringer is an awe-inspiring longsword forged from pure celestial steel, its blade gleaming with a radiant glow reminiscent of the morning sun. The hilt is adorned with intricate motifs of celestial beings, and the pommel is crowned with a radiant gemstone that pulsates with divine energy. When wielded, Dawnbringer emanates a warm, comforting light that banishes darkness and inspires hope in the hearts of those who stand against evil.
Properties:
Radiant Fury: Dawnbringer is a magical weapon that deals an additional 2d6 radiant damage on a successful hit. This radiant damage bypasses resistance and immunity to non-magical attacks. Additionally, when you score a critical hit with Dawnbringer, the target must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be blinded by the searing light until the start of your next turn.
Luminous Beacon: As an action, you can command Dawnbringer to unleash a burst of radiant energy in a 30-foot radius centered on yourself.

Guiding Light: While attuned to Dawnbringer, you have advantage on saving throws against spells and effects that inflict the blinded condition. Additionally, you can cast the Guiding Bolt spell once per day at its lowest level without expending a spell slot.
Sentience:
Dawnbringer possesses a benevolent sentience, embodying the virtues of justice, mercy, and compassion. It communicates telepathically with its wielder, offering guidance and encouragement in times of need. The sword detests evil and corruption, urging its wielder to fight against darkness and protect the innocent. However, it respects the free will of its wielder and does not impose its will unless the wielder's actions directly conflict with its values.
Activation:
Dawnbringer requires attunement by a creature of good alignment.
Curse:
Should a creature of evil alignment attempt to attune to Dawnbringer, the sword resists their touch with a burst of radiant energy, dealing 4d10 radiant damage and breaking the attunement. The sword becomes nonmagical for that creature until attuned by a creature of neutral or good alignment.
