My fave way to homebrew magic items :
- Take an existing magic weapon, usually a longsword
- Make it literally any other weapon suitable to the party (Mace, warhammer, halberd, dagger)
- ???
- Profit
Or I just remember some magic item or NPC from Baldur’s Gate / Icewind Dale (the video games) and roll with that. My favorite being handing out heads of the flail of ages, that’s always fun
Playing devil’s advocate here but there could be legitimate reasons to prevent features of an app if you don’t give the permissions.
Things like professional type apps that need geolocation to work (geofencing, photo geoloc) or because x big shot client wants to track their employees and you’re just forced to accept that unless you want to declare bankruptcy.
Definitely is a very hostile pattern though and there’s no reason for meta to do this shit…
