Remember when Mordenkainen’s Magnificent Emporium was set to come out earlier this year, and then vanished from the Dungeons & Dragons 4e product schedule? Whether you missed it or not, it was essentially the exciting new Adventurer’s Vault 3 – and it just disappeared!
Rarity Indeed
With the new magic item rarity rules introduced, along with its flaws (i.e. not enough common items, far too many uncommons, and very few rares), MME was a great opportunity to fill in those gaps. In addition, the realization that there were far too many bland, unexciting, or vaguely described magic items in 4e made the impending release of MME all the more exciting to help out in that area as well.
But then, the Emporium exploded! Or perhaps it faded back into the Shadowfell or whatever evil or mischievous demiplane had captured it. Some of us even feared it had been… disintegrated or disjoined altogether.
Countless first adventures of D&D over the years and throughout the editions have shared the common trait of fighting the same sorts of savage humanoid monsters: typically kobolds, goblins, or orcs.
