Semi-Cursed Magic Items from DM Samuel's RPG Musings

Alt­hough cur­sed items in 4e are still around, they seem to have lost their game-ruining pana­che. I think fun and heroism are a great part of the 4e phi­lo­sophy, howe­ver I’d like to see cur­sed items make their way back to the table.

I got a strong urge to make a pla­yer hand out based on GURPS Lite 4e. What I did was I inser­ted a ton of my home brew rules and made it tai­lor only to Low Tech. Basi­ca­lly its a com­plete enough pla­yers intro­duc­tion to GURPS for low tech games
