strange apparatus can be found
within these forgotten vaults?
Will they bring you wealth, or
kill you in the process of
discovery?

Within this pamphlet are three

bizarre items. Each has
incredible powers, but at a
price. Each item includes the
following: A description for the
players in italics, a description
of the item’s powers for the
referee, and a flowchart
detailing the experimentation
process. Each item is unknown to
the players, so they are nearly
guaranteed to fail at using it.
This failure can result in
strange side effects, and
possible damage.
