Decorative Reminder

When your hero is hitching a ride on a wagon, and don't pretend that doesn't happen in your story, remember to describe the ridiculous or garish ways the owner has decorated it. You know what people do with their trucks. You know.

Addendum

Archers would write insulting messages on their arrows if they could. You know the kind.

Runeswords

You'd like to think the runes are full of arcane significance, but you just know they say, "If you can read this you're too close!" That's the kind of thing swordboys go in for. Truckers don't put alchemical diagrams on their trucks; they slap some truck nuts on there and get moving.
