Saw this on facebook and it gave me an idea..
So how about this, an NPC, who is a traveling merchant who basically has a traveling thrift store of Magical and Non-magical items. If you see something and like it, better get it now, cause it will most likely be gone by the next time you see them again.
Everything comes second hand, so there is a chance something might be slightly off or wrong with said item (a table to roll for chances for this would be ideal)
Some items can be perfectly pristine, nothing wrong with them (like when you find an item at a thrift store and it still has a new tag on it) OR they could have some issue, even some going so far as to be cursed?
Some items WILL be cursed but will also be labeled as such and come at a mark-up and a warning for player’s own safety and well being (and for a chance at shenanigans)
This is going to be *fun*
I think I want the NPC to be your classic early 2000′s/ late 90′s (cartoon character inspired) owl eyed, wild hair , eccentric sort of character. Perhaps a traveling Witch with far too many cats (some familiars or other spirits and guardians?) Very kind, but also well armed against Murder Hobos.
Hmm.. On that note.. I could see said NPC having a collection of ‘Troublesome customers’ souls sealed away in a lovely collection of glass bottles..
