I don't run games with magic items or their "equivalents".
Edit: Okay I forgot Call of Cthulhu but in that case any limits on magic items sort of takes care of itself :)

We usually leave it up to the GM. The GM can certainly control how and what magic items come into the game. If the GM starts overloading the game with magic, players are gonna use it. We don't typically allow for 'purchased' magic from a book or something - that also kills immersion. Another method is to have magic items with charges or some similar limited functionality. Another way is to have very situational magic. For example, in my latest horror campaign, the players came across a grimoire that gave bonuses to research tests about monsters... in Kentucky. The group did have a short adventure in Kentucky, but after that adventure, the book is just a book, unless I choose to bring them back.

Sorry to break the unwritten rule but my series of questions needed to be a series, and with lists in the answers of two.
It didn't work down here, is what I'm saying.

Are you fascinated by precious stones and gemstones?

I'm in front of the game library on level 2, demoing our game Diceapult if you want to pick up your games early.

I just say however many you can wear.

But I'm also not giving out ten rings per person, two bracelets and two anklets, a helmet, a scarf or something, a cloak, a belt, gloves, each piece of clothing, boots, glasses...
I don't want to make someone choose between items if it isn't a direct upgrade or puzzle-related, basically. People get what I give them and are able to use it.

That said, I have been spending some money, buying stuff for myself for my birthday next month. I've ordered some 3D printed resin minis. I know. I do not like resin. But some of these minis are so cool, and there's no other way to get them. And I'm running low on cool metal minis to paint, and getting turned off by fiddly multipart plastic models (especially the ones with lots of little pieces - there's a reason I stopped doing plastic kits long ago 😛). It just seems like a lot of the really cool fun minis are being done in the 3D printing realm these days, or by a few people still doing old school metal minis (but their output is slower and I don't want everything they make). One person doing 3D printing on etsy had an option for a different kind of resin that cost a little more, but was supposedly better for minis, so I chose that. I'll see if it really is better for me.

Yeah they now have "ABS-like" resin, Tough resin etc.

Best results I got (working with my friend) was a 50/50 mix of ABS and Tough.

100% Tough resin makes the thin parts of the minis a bit TOO bendy. They withstand breakage better if you drop the mini but for minis with dynamic poses (especially on one leg) they are top heavy and can bend. Ditto thin spears.

ABS resin is good and tough but a touch more brittle than Tough resin. So this guy on YT suggested the 50/50 hack.

Works for me so far.

I'll have my wife helping me carry games in the VFM. I don't need to get her one of the $15 badges as well do I?

They check everyone's badges at the door, so she probably needs one unless there are exceptions for support folks. Alternatively, she could wait outside while you step out to hand her items.
