This bag is an extremely flamboyant violet color, with a golden question mark on one side and feels as if it is made with the finest silk. The bag weighs 5 pounds.
- Looking inside the bag reveals nothing, you only see an empty bag.
- Reaching inside the bag, you also feel nothing, but when you remove your hand from the bag, an object or creature randomly chosen from the table below is in your hand (in the case of a creature, the creature falls to the ground, prone and unaware of its surroundings).
- Placing an object in the bag results in the bag beginning to shake violently and fall to the ground, then spit the object back out.
- If another object (or the same one) is attempted to be placed in the bag a second time within a tenday, the bag shakes even more, hitting anyone within 5 ft of the bag for 1d4 bludgeoning damage, and again the bag spits the object out.
- If another object (or the same one) is placed in the bag a third time within a tenday of the second attempt, the bag devours the object, sending into a void disappearing from existence and the bag cannot again be used for a tenday. Any additional attempts to store an object in the bag results in this again, resetting the countdown back to another tenday before its next use.
Once per day, as an action, someone can reach into the bag and remove something from it (roll 1d100 and use the table below to determine what is removed from the bag). Anything removed from the bag is permanent to the plane, it will not disappear after a time limit -- it is just like any other item or creature on the plane. See the Monsters Listing for the creature's statistics.
A creature removed is prone and immediately hostile (as it is scared and confused), but may potentially be persuaded to be friendly (depending on the creature).

Posted Aug 6, 2018This is great, it has so much flavour.
One thing I would say as a mild criticism is that the finger trap is just a mild annoyance that a player could just sit there making saves until they succeed. It might be funnier to have it last 1d10 hours.
Otherwise, have an upvote

Posted Apr 22, 2020When i gave this to my player they first tried to put stuff into it, but after two tries he finally put his hand in and got the 73, after that, he put his head in, wich almost killed him, if I didn’t interfere as a DM. My players are a fairly new group so it would’ve sucked if someone in your party died because of a magic item I gave them

Posted Oct 1, 2020My players have been using this for a while, it is great fun. They recently pulled out the blue dragon egg and the countdown is ticking. At lvl 5 they have no chance of facing even an adult blue dragon but they have some idea on how to deal with the egg (don't know the mother is coming). If they don't waste time they may have allies to assist with the event otherwise open road it is

Posted Nov 8, 2020The way I read this, someone can simply spend (e.g.) 100 actions, i.e. 100 rounds, i.e. 10 minutes to remove possibly permanent items such as bags of holdings, armors of vulnerability, scrolls of fireball, decks of illusion, 500 silver pieces, etc.
What prevents a second or third tier level party to keep reaching inside the bag and pulling out items? There's no serious downside (barring rolling 100).
There should be a time limit on these items before they vanish/teleport back to wherever or whatever dimension they were taken from.

Posted Nov 25, 2020"**Once per day**, as an action, someone can reach into the bag and remove something from it."
Duh 🥴😵😆
The art of speed reading (and speed copy/pasting).
Although, still not quite clear if it's once per day per "someone" (although the intent is likely 1/day period).
After 1 year, though, you might still get an interesting treasure hoard.

Posted Jan 7, 2021My only question is that if an NPC falls out of the bag what do I have them say? Are they from another plane? Were they just minding their own business when they get dragged there? Did they fall asleep and find themselves on the floor in front of the party? Other than that this is easily my favorite homebrew item.

Posted Jan 23, 2021This is a very cool item. But I've tried searching what this item is and other people's opinions on it but it seems to have no other exsistence other than this specific page link I had to click. I even tried looking it up on this site and it says the item simply doesn't exsist. Is this a real item? Is it like an unofficial joke item?

Posted Jan 26, 2021The only change that I would make is that on a 100, you should have the player roll a d20. On a 20, they pull out another bag of wondrous randomization. Otherwise it disappears like normal

Posted Feb 14, 2021I want to thank everyone for the kind feedback on this item. I was DM of my first campaign when I created this, and DNDBeyond was still in Beta at the time. There are alot of "inside jokes" within it that only our party would have gotten, but still are good fun for everyone else.
I honestly forgot about this as our campaign ended and I haven't played since, I just logged back into DNDBeyond and saw this comment section added and just feel pretty awesome that this is still the "most viewed" item on the platform. I hope it has created as much fun for everyone else as it did for me making it and my friends using it.
Regarding some of the comments around how NPC's should react and where they came from -- That's all on you as the DM! Come up with a backstory, maybe they were trapped in another plane, maybe they were eating dinner and just got sucked through, maybe it's a recurring NPC (as was the case in ours!). If your party isn't ready to face an angry mother blue dragon, know that dragons are sentient beings and it could just issue a warning or threaten a curse, or maybe even is aware of the curse of the bag and maybe it's tied to the egg -- I don't know, that's the greatness of D&D!
