I'd like to add 5 to 10 new favor items to the game. I'm mostly looking for more powerful items (up to +5 bonus), but would consider adding some lower level ones.

If you have any ideas, please post them here.

Why not a Palm Pilot? Add to the smarts, and take from the toughness. Same with a cell phone, except it takes from charm.

A Ph.D. for a massive smarts bonus...

...or how about perfume for charm?

Palm pilots and cell phones would take away from the feel of the game. I've always thought we aren't supposed to be set in the present, but somewhere in the first half of last century. Maybe that's just my assumption.

The game is set in 1938. Or maybe 1935. No cellphones. I'm thinking of adding a short-wave radio wristwatch, like the one Dick Tracy uses, though.

Heh heh, that would be cool.

Do we get a decoder ring as well? :D

Yes, I also assumed we were in the height of the Film Noir era. Hence the Tommy guns and fedoras.

I love Bess' idea for perfume! Good call. Don't mix it up with the chloroform, though.
