I have just uploaded the "ItemRight-Blunts" set to the HeroMachine 3 Alpha. Here's a screen grab of one of the preview screens for the new items, including "Bonebreaker", the prize for Silent Bilbo's Character Contest 5 winning entry:
As you can see, I tried to break each item up into four parts where possible, like in the first two rows. You have the entire item assembled, then just the top part, just the middle, and just the bottom. Sometimes, like in the last row's short mace, you can only get the whole item, the top, and the bottom. In those cases I included an extra head, usually, that you'll have to assemble yourself with the shaft.
Other times, particularly at the end, each item was just a one-off, not broken up.
Let me know what you think, any bugs you find or items you want to add, etc. I went through all the suggestions in the last thread and included a lot of them, but a surprising number were actually axes or swords or whatnot.
Next up, guns! I think we've got enough potential firearms to break them up into several sets, starting with Pistols and then Rifles, and then probably general Big Modern Weapons like flame throwers, missile launchers, etc.

I think making your helmet look like some sort of animal eating your head is a bad move when it comes to crafting a good super-hero outfit, but at least animals actually eat other things, a lesson seemingly lost on the Court Seamstress at Casa de Jade Flower:
For the record, walking around looking like you're being eaten by a flower is not -- repeat, not -- intimidating to your opponents. Anything that makes you look like something The Joker would shrink and stick in his lapel should, as a rule, be avoided when putting together your costume. Whenever you walk out of the house and people start pointing and/or laughing, you should probably turn back around and slip into something fishnet just to be safe.
In other words, that headpiece is appallingly bad.
The rest of the outfit is standard super-fantasy-villain fare and perfectly serviceable, and I by all means encourage more leggy females to saunter around in hot Robin half-boots and two dishrags joined by a bikini top, but anyone wearing anything on their head that makes me want to pluck them ought to be hung.
Finally, I get that all of the Amethyst nobles are named after particular gems, but that makes me wonder where Fire Jade is hiding her fire jade and why she went for the flower angle in the first place. And why there's no fire on her.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure I'd like to lead the expedition to discover the location of that fire jade on her person, although we'd probably end up as just fronds and I'd have to leaf her alone, back-petaling away like made to try and stem the flow of derision and insults and things in that vein.
