This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Medieval-Authentic Magical Stones

These are not new-age healing crystals! Taken directly from medieval 'lapidaries', this sourcebook details the magical properties of gems and stones that let you introduce interesting new minor-magic knowledge to your campaign!



In RPGPundit Presents #96: Medieval-Authentic Magical Stones, you do NOT get the  new-age nonsense about how amethyst is good for your butt-chakra. Instead, you get a list of different stones, along with a random table for them, some real and some that never actually existed, and the qualities of these stones based on actual sources from the Medieval "Lapidariums" (guides to stones and their uses, a popular topic in medieval "natural philosophy").

Did you know there was a type of 'false silver' that could be made into a potion that drives men mad?

A type of rare chrysolite that could glow like a torch?

A foul-smelling stone, that could cure impotence or make boiling liquid go instantly cold?

The most valuable stone in the entire world: the unique glowing stone that was once part of the Roman Emperor's crown, but is now lost?

A type of ruby that could set fire to wood when rubbed against it?

A stone that can cause nightmares when put under someone's pillow?

All of this according to the greatest medieval minds of the age!
