What are everyone’s favorite resources for fun magic items in OSR games? Anything and everything - items for Into the Odd, Troika, Old School Essentials, Mutant Crawl Classics, etc. Do you have your own d100 list of things you like to use?

I have been finding AV&ES very interesting with their one off posts of various items like Monsters and Magic Items:
The list of Magic Items can be found here
The author creates evocative mini-stories demonstrating the item and that can be really helpful in my opinion.

Here are a few of mine (d100 tables):
- Unconventional Potions
- Magic Swords/Blades
- Magic Bows
- Magic Shields
- Grimoires
- Magical Cloaks & Capes
- Magical Footwear
I definitely prefer Magic Items to be kind of like Keys for Locks I haven’t thought of yet when the players get a hold of them and like to encourage sprinkling in a little more wonder than just a mechanical bonus.

Just because I just updated it: the crowd-sourced list of Relics from the Cairn/NSR community. Some fun stuff in there.
Also d100 Oddities, not all magical but still fun.

Thank you both very much! I was not sure if I was on here before or not; complications of sporecery and doing this too long, although my little bat icon leapt over here without my help. Great to be here either way.

One of my favorite resources to add is James V. West’s Black Pudding zine. I am currently running an Iron Falcon game and one player picked the random character sheet with Sinewy Barbarian and the other Star Wizard (two of the three classes I snagged from Black Pudding) and they are having fun with it.
