Write a Custom Artifact - Community Contest! (Patreon)

[Art by Steven Bell]

I am planning to offer another monthly benefit for all of you wonderful Patrons in the form of a monthly illustration of an artifact or relic.

From initial feedback, I would like to keep these from being weapons or armor, but an object that can more easily be used by DM's for their own adventures and homebrews, either with the proposed write-up, or their own.

How does it work?

If you would like to submit an artifact or relic for consideration, please write a 2-3 sentence summary of the piece background, and a one sentence description of the artifact or relic and submit that as a reply.

Once we have all submissions, I will put those into a poll and have the community vote on the one they'd like to see illustrated most that month!

Here's an example template.

Using the image above, here would be my submission.

The Deadstone. This rough cut amethyst stands above one foot in height with dark purple hues and the greenish image of a trapped soul screaming from within. The Deadstone is a powerful artifact that holds the soul of a captured necromancer. It was plunged into his heart as he died, capturing his soul as it escaped his body and disallowing the body to be raised/restored through any curative magics. Only a powerful spell or force could break the enchantment and free the soul.

So, post your submission(s) over the weekend, and I will put them up for voting on Monday night (11/7)!

The winning submission will be provided to an artist to illustrate, which will then be released to the community for use!
