No quest or story can ever be complete without the items and tools that lead our heroes to victory, despite all odds against them. Today we explore these very items and what unique effects that they have on the stories around us. How can you give these important devices, even mcguffins, if you will, character and importance? Can you make your hero care about these items as much as you do as a storyteller?
