First post and I’m a big fan of the website and the Planes
I was going to have my PCs run across a powerful tome that is a cook book that shows you how to make the perfect meat loaf. When you follow the directions to make the meat loaf instead of making meat loaf you end up making a powerful (add some here item) That steals souls from other planes and has the power to even make them.
I was just wondering if the cook book of perfect meat loaf would be a super powerful magic item and would everyone throughout all the planes would want a item as powerful as this.
Also some think he is the reason why demons don't eat meat loaf
Not if some magical items in your campain look plain and unasuming, in that way cookbook of perfect meatloaf would be looking like ordinary cookbook untill it true purose is found. Then I think that many folk would want to put their mitts on it.
For example: the One Ring from LOTR looked just like simple gold ring, until its purpose as superwapon was discovered and, voila you have instant trilogy.
Secondly your book contain instruction how to create "Meatloaf of soulstealing and creating", that means that "meatlof" is actual artifact in this story, not the book. So you can keep the book compleatly ordinary to keep players in compleate dark of what treasure they actualy have on they hands.
Than someone will say sooner or later: "Gee, let's try to make that perfect meatlloaf thingie for lunch...", untill that time keep practising manical laughter. :twisted:
Mmmm, meatloaf...
