Dungeons & Dragons has an extensive new crafting system that includes more robust rules for making magic items. One recurring fantasy motif is the idea of creating the perfect magic tool to defeat an evil villain. From the crafting of Andril in The Lord of the Rings to Thor and Groot crafting Stormbreaker in Avengers: Infinity War, it’s often a critical step in the hero’s journey that plays out in countless stories, including those that play out in games like D&D.
