Ye Olde Inn

So my group just finished the Game System and with the original prices they were able to aford much equipment and now they are saying that they dont have what to do with their gold.
They are asking for more equipment. While I looked in here I found all kinds of cool cards. Extra spells, artifacts, treasure, potions, but no extra Equipment. The only one I found was Sjeng's but thats kinda "reworked" equipment with new prices, which are more balanced. But that is inconvinient for me cause they already bought items in the original prices, so what use would it have if I introduced these new ones?
So what Im looking for is extra equipment cards, or any other solution really. Im sure more people must have that problem otherwise Im doing something wrong.
Its my first time a Morcar so Id really appreciate some help. by the way Im an EU player so no US extra equipment will help.

If you look in my modern or classic still homebrew cards, the armory deck is the equipment deck. They are a variation of the us style, but they can give you some ideas. The modern style has more cards to pull ideas from. They might be of some help for thinking of ideas to make your own.

The otherway to handle this is to not give treasure so easily, find items that enhance but may break, and rob them, etc.

Try the adventure "A Night Errant" in my DungeonsDark quest pack for a different example of how to beggar your players. http://forum.yeoldeinn.com/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=3223

I created a handful of new equipments (not card, text only for now). I will translate to english and post them here.

I have some more equipment cards.
They extend the range a very little bit to the top, but mostly they offer options in between the game system steps, or even below (the heroes can certainly sell a found whip)



These are in "Mobile Phone Format" which is nice on, well, mobile phones.

If you are interested, I can compile them in 5 minutes to EU or NA format or any other format you prefer (poker, skat, 3.5x2.5, zombicide...)

@runnar - Good list of custom gear, though I can see the trend of the Elf and Wizard not having much available.

Here are some items I've been working on for custom equipment (also posted in my thread on custom cards).

Boots of Agility (cost: 500g)
-When rolling for defense, if you roll more shields as a defender than skulls rolled by the attacker, you may move to an unoccupied adjacent space
Boots of Superior Agility (cost: 750g)
-When rolling for defense, if you roll more shields as a defender than skulls rolled by the attacker, you may move up to the amount of spaces equal to the difference in skulls vs. shields rolled (e.g. the attacker rolls 1 skull and defender rolls 3 shields, the defender wearing these boots can move up to 2 spaces)

Emperor's Armor (cost: 1000g)
-Roll 2 additional combat dice in defense against Bosses
-Etched with the Emperor's family crest and made to fit any body type (as the Emperor is not known for his physique), this may be worn by any hero

Attack Shield
-Roll 1 Combat Die in defense
-Roll 1 Combat Die in counter-attack, cannot be blocked
-A small round shield that has a jagged edge not unlike a dinner plate with a chip on the one end… sure it's annoying but you keep forgetting it's there until it catches you off-guard and taints your food!

Spiked Attack Shield
-Roll 1 Combat Die in Defense
-Roll 2 Combat Dice in counter-attack, cannot be clocked
-A medium round shield with a spiked outer edge for close-in combat

I'm also trying to work in a Bolas, but it gets a bit wordy on the rules (as seen below):
Bolas (cost: 50 gold)
-Thrown bolas at a monster to incapacitate it - monster cannot move for 3 turns
-Monster will break free after 3 turns, at which point the bolas is broken
-Monster attacks with 1 less combat die but not fewer than 1; can defend as normal
-Bolas can be recovered after monster has been defeated if not broken
-Note: Players can hold up to 2 Bolas weapons
-If more than 5 spaces from a monster, roll 1 combat die to determine if the bolas hits or misses the monster
-Skulls hit, all other results miss
-Missed bolas shots have the bolas landing at the monster's feet where they can pick it up and use it against the heroes

I have a ton of stuff - you can start with this page:

viewtopic.php?f=58&t=1212

That has my expanded equipment pdf and if you scroll down just a bit,
links to a couple of other pages with more pdf's.

I will TRY to remember to message you tonight, and I can send you
pdf's directly of everything I have...all of which should be more up-to-date
than the pdf's provided here.

If you want, just message me, and I'll see it when I come on tonight and then
I will remember to send them to you.

Roughly - I have expanded equipment, weapons, armor...
8 or 9 treasure/artifact sets, and a few skill sets that could
easily be turned into magical equipment items.

Since they finished the original 14 quests you can no go on with Kellar's Keep and Witch Lord expansions.
You can take the US version potions, there are 4 of them on both questbook. They can be useful even in the Eur version and are easily adaptable.

Thanks @JCool. And indeed, there are only 2 itens prohibited to the Elf, and are also 1 item prohibited to the Dwarf, and they are so more for thematic reasons (I don't see elves using large blunt weapons, and a long bow is too large for a dwarf to use). But the Wizard, yes there are few itens to him, because a Wizard don't really use weapons and armours. I thinking in other type of itens more appropriated to the Wizard, maybe alchemist fire or acid flask. Or magic itens and artifacts, but I don't think these must be buyable.
