There's one thing that I love about Troll in the Corner: They're unique. They write quirky, interesting stuff, with actual serious gameplay.

Standard d20 equipment, above average writing.

Sometime I have to finish reading Shadowrun: Germany, so I'll make this quick.

Like all Troll in the Corner products (I swear they don't pay me to kiss up, these are my genuine thoughts) that I have read, this is interesting and unique. While Aruneus has zombies, grimness, and a new take on orcs, this has a ton of humor. It's almost impossible to read this straight faced.

I. Like. This.

It's priced to sell, and it's worth the investment. And with a word like "Unengoblinatin" in it, it has to be good.

Very well written and funny too! Have not had a chance to use any items in my game yet but enjoyed reading the descriptions which gave me some good ideas for my game. I especially look forward to giving the halfling bard in the group the lute I won't spoil the description of this magic lute. I will definitely be looking at buying more the the Troll in the Corner PDFs, very impressed.

As with Troll ITC products, my opinion might be considered biased because I got my copy free, but I will try to remain objective and honest.

Ben let out a whole lot of crazy for this one. It was actually nice to see him take a break from the seriousness of Aruneus and just to have a light heart-ed read, and this is definitely that.

The set of magic items are all flawed by design, with some hilarious results. He did a good job of keeping things low level and fair priced, so the end result is a bunch of ready to use items that could really go in any session right away.

I can't see bringing these items into a serious campaign, certainly not all of them anyhow, but if you are running something more casual and for a lot of laughs, or just a short one shot session, these items could easily find a place in the treasure piles or on a bazaar merchant's table.

There's a fair amount of repetition in the names, which is fine because they come from a limited Intelligence Goblin Wizard, but I felt like a little more creativity could have been used rather than prefixing each item with "en". It's hard to be critical of a product that is obviously not meant to be scrutinized, but I also felt like the character Mirkmoot really stole the show, but we never actually really got to meet him. Only through description from a faceless, non-descript, and all too modern merchant did we learn anything of the character that most held my attention. It's not to say Ben shouldn't have written the product this way, it is likely a large part of what made Mirkmoot so alluring, but I could have used a little more direct from the source.

That said, I think the real value I got out of this is that it just got me thinking in a different way. Several items are plays on (nonsense)words that easily lead me down other similar ideas, and every one of the items seems to me to be well balanced due to inherit bugs in the Goblin Mirkmoot's design. I think Ben has found a really fun character in Mirkmoot, and I suspect we'll see him back for more magic items or cameos in future products, you can tell he really likes the character ... and for good reason. Go for the buck buy, it's worth it for a couple of laughs, but the real return on investment is the long term ideas you'll glean from this.

This is the most fun I've had reading a magic item PDF in a long time. It's written in a humorous style which carries through the entire document and emphasises how these items could be inserted into your campaign to have a bit of fun with your players.

You get 12 items, all of which are fairly inexpensive and lower level and almost all of which are designed for small statured PCs.

Being that they were created by a goblin wizard who's just barely qualified for the title of wizard, they all have their quirks as well. The odd spelling of some items at first threw me off but by the end of the document I was 'in to it' and thought it added great flavor.

For some gaming groups this may not be the best but I know many folks who would love to put one or more of these into their gamer's hands and watch what happens.

A few stand out items:

Mirkmoot's Helm of Engloryateing - a great way to increase the CHA stat of one of your players and confuse the heck out of the group for a little while.

The Bardy Lute of Unbardsuckifying - This one just made me laugh. If I'm not mistaken there's also a reference to Gamers: Dorkness Rising here.

Helm of Enseeing Really Far - does what it advertises in a novel way. I am certainly going to introduce this to my players.

For a dollar, I think this is well worth it. My only gripe is the artwork for the items which is a little lackluster. Other than that, I'm going to use most if not all of these, which makes it a dollar well spent.
