I'm not familiar with QAGS so I can't speak to the mechanics of these items but thematically this is a real gem. Artifacts for modern/urban fantasy games tough to come by and this is good stuff. The items are almost all very cool and interesting (there's always going to be a couple that the reader doesn't jive with) with the appropiate level of arifact style weirdness. Any reference ot Stagger Lee is going to get at least a one star bump up from me. The only thing that would have made it better to me is some plot hooks and story seeds to go along with each item.

I enjoyed this book and found the artifacts to be ecclectic and interesting. The book is an interesting and fun read. However, the book is not based in D&D or another system close to it, (I guess it is QAGS), so someone is going to have to either download QAGS or guess at many of the effects in order to translate them into another system. In addition, many of the artifacts are unique, technological, and have extremely specific effects. I think there are two cars and two trains in the book. The artifacts are definitely cool. but they are impractical to the point of uselessness. Elvis's gun needs golden bullets melted from golden records to function. Hank's car you have to sit in and get intoxicated for over an hour, etc. You'd definitely have to be running a semi-modern game set in America to use many of these, and even so, I think it would difficult, maybe impossible, to casually work them into a typical campaign (unless the game was built around collecting artifacts, like a Warehouse 54 type game). Definitely a fun read but very difficult to actually use of the material in a game.
