Recommend a product that has a list I can use as "curses/side effects" i can add to magical items, so that there's a trade off - yes, this eyepatch lets me see in the dark with the other eye, but I'm blinded for several rounds if there's a bright light, or this sword gives me +1 damage vs creatures w/ a fire weakness, but I take extra damage from heat. Thanks!
-- OD&D Eldritch Wizardry/AD&D DMG ("artifacts" powers lists, also DMG dungeon trick/trap features list)
-- GURPS, various other such rules sets: "disadvantage" lists
Going with a set of random drawbacks is not necessarily the way to go here. The 'curse' should be thematic to what the item does.

That looks like a great collection of mostly-useless magic items! It would probably fit right into my DCC campaign.
