If you aren't sure it's page 4 in the Experimental Rule box under Attunement in the Magic Item document.
I really, really do like it. It makes charisma more important. If you are binding the magic to your will it makes quite a bit of sense.
Although a DM would have to be up front if there would be magic in the campaign so players can plan accordingly.

I like both that one and the sentient item resisting your attempts to attune it...

Hopefully a cursed item can forcefully attune itself to you...

Nowhere near enough items require attunement for the limitation to matter. And if all items switched to needing attunement, then charisma modifier is too low of a number, it just makes Charisma based casters very potent.

Attuning magic items is a game unto itself.

What about a Number based on your level, modified by charisma? combined with the proliferation of the attunement requirement.
So a charismatic newbie might be able to rack up an extra item or two, but a higher level character can still have more nice things even if he's got the personality of a ochre jelly.

It's a shame they chickened out with it and made it this tiny sidebar thing instead of the comprehensive approach to all magic items that the article suggested it was. Still, an attunement type system is one of my favourite ways to handle magic items so it makes me all fuzzy inside to see it there

Basing it on Charisma gives high charisma characters more magic items, this mechanic should be based on level or some other universal stat...

yeah, not a fan of charisma being a factor for attunement here. You could carve the attuned properties up and require different attributes for different items.
