Overview

A randomly begun list sets the order by which players choose magic items, whoever is currently on 'top' of the list chooses an item (ANY item!) and hen the next player on the list chooses, until the end of the list has been reached. Begin again (if there are more items) at the top of the list. If an item drops through the list three times, it is free for all. Otherwise, each item a character chooses drops him or her to the bottom of the list. Characters that take one item, then pass on subsequent items, do not drop as far as characters who take two items in sequential passes through the list. Characters who do not take an item stay at their place in the list, while those who did drop below them.

This allows for quick and fair distribution of items, making sure everyone gets a fair chance at magical items, but discouraging hoarding or taking items useless to your character.

Starting up

At the beginning of the entire set of campaigns, each player rolls off on a d20, higher is better. In case of ties, further roll-offs between the tied players continue until the tie is broken.
