Hand Me Downs



Grandpa's Soda Bottle

One of those old heavy thick glass soda bottles. The one grandpa always said the soda tasted better out of. If you fill it with a liquid and drink it you will get back one row of your 'I Feel' points.



Grandma's Perfume Bottle

Grandma's old perfume sprayer, one of those with the glass bottle and the little squeeze sprayer on a hose. They just don't make them like that anymore. If you spray yourself with it then your scent will be hidden from any monsters trying to find you.



The Old Remote

This is an old remote for a no longer used television or other electrical appliance. With the power of a child’s belief behind it this old button box becomes a very useful tool. When used it can operate nearly any electrical device that is a line of site. Garage doors, televisions, alarms, cars, etc. So when you absolutely need to wake up everyone in the neighborhood you simply aim it out the window at the nearest car and set off the alarm. Maybe open the garage door a bit so you can slide under it in order to get away from a nasty beastie that is right on you tail. Even set off the television to act as a distraction or to hide the noise of your own movement.



Toy Phones

Nice plastic phones with a bit of rope that connects to the base. Four little wheels on the bottom so it can be drug around and a rotary dial that doesn’t do a return spin. These things can be a godsend when it comes to calling in some help or warning others.

First you need to identify you phone by giving it a number. This is done by taking a crayon of your favorite color and writing it on the bottom. Now when anybody else with a Toy Phone that also has a number dials up yours they connect to each other. It’s time to give Jerry across the street a ring and let him know that there is something on his roof looking at his window.



Grandpa’s Coffee Cup

Grandpa was the greatest person you have ever known. He was always there for you when you needed him. He always had a few quarters in his pocket ‘tucked away for a special day’ when the ice cream truck came along. Every morning he would get up and drink a few cups of coffee and then you and he would be off. That morning cup would always get him going. Now that he’s gone that cup is still setting there on the shelf waiting to be used.

If it got grandpa going then it should get you going also, or at least reinvigorate you when things have gotten a little rough. Drinking out of the cup restores a level of health and can be used once in the morning, afternoon and evening. Also if drank from when you are first waking up it clears your head and gives you a boost of energy (+1 to all your die rolls).



Dad’s Pocket Knife

You remember back before your Dad went away. He used to spend every moment he could with you. He always carried one thing with him everywhere he went. His pocketknife. It always seemed to come in handy every time you turned around. Cutting fishing line, carving your name in a tree and other such things. When he was no longer there you found his knife tucked in a drawer in your Mom’s room, it never leaves you wherever you go anymore.

This allows you to cut through anything you need to. It’ll slice a door open, tear the skin of that thing that sticks it’s arms out from under your bed and even cut that metal barb wire that raises up out of the backyard from time to time.



Dolly Masks

Appearance: These masks look like doll faces from the early 1900's. They are made of porcelain with a single leather strap that slides over the wearers head. The face of the masks is cracked and flaking, the paint is peeling away and the hair is growing old.

Function: Whenever the child wears the mask and remains absolutely still the closet monsters cannot see them. To the monster they appear as a large old doll sitting raggedy on the bed in the corner or wherever the child happens to be. This only works on closet monsters therefore other denziens of closet land and controlled humans can see the child normally.

Movement is the ultimate downfall to this hand me down. The GM should require a spirit check to see if the child can keep from running, breaking down and trying to hide, etc. Also some closet monsters are aware of this item, this leads them to screaming at dolls and other such acts (something scary among itself).

The Rangers Compass

Appearance: An old WWII era compass. Olive drab casing, very damage resistant and compact.

Function: Outside of Closetland it acts as a normal compass. Inside it points to the nearest exit to the real world as due north.

Since it points straight at the exit there could be anything in between - walls, windows, monsters, mazes, etc. Also it doesn't show how far away it is either.

Witch's Mirror

Appearance: An old metal handled mirror. The handle and back is of ornate design containing all sorts of symbols such as pentagrams, stars, moons and such. Well over a foot long and never seems to get dirty. The mirror surface is circle shaped.

Function: Anything a child sees in the mirror is shown in its true form. Thus illusions and other deceptions are useless. Any human possessed by a King shows up with that Kings features mixed with thier own.

Rumors abound among those who have seen this item that it is also linked to the mirrors possessed by the King of Pride but the truth is unknown.
