I bought this book expecting some guidelines and balanced items. Unfortunately that is not what the designers intended. The items in the pdf range from cool to inane, and the values are frequently way off what would be expected. If you are just looking for a few funny items this may have what you want, however I was mostly disatisfied and would not have bought this pdf had I known the contents.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: A couple interesting items.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Poor pricing. Items designed for humour. Items not thought through at all.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Poor<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Ripped Off<br>

This whole thing was an outstanding concept, but I was pretty disappointed with the end product. The whole structure of the thing felt very scripted and mechanical, rather than creative or exciting... there was no 'flow' to it. The items themselves are fine, and the history segments are often intriguing, but much of it gets lost in the masses of functionality detail.

I think I was so enamored by the good idea that prompted the work, that an average production just couldn't live up to my hyped-up expectations.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: The concept is novel, and is an excellent way to keep items from being overpowered, and to use one item to spawn several quest ideas for a group.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: It's hard to pinpoint the exact source of my disatisfaction, but what it really seems to come down to is that the majority of the actual items just didn't grab me or hold my interest very well. There was a sense of character, or mystery, or style that seemed to be missing. It just felt like a lot of raw numbers and facts in many places.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Disappointing<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Disappointed<br>

An excellent product - useful in many campaigns. I would buy more of the same.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: Imaginitive and original.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: The only thing that could possibly could have improved this product is maybe the presentation could have been slightly more polished. Some pictures wouldn't have gone amiss. Also - it would have been great if it included handouts for players<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

There is some really nice stuff in here. The only downside is that these are NOT for a low-powered game! (and would require signifigant changes to make them work) With the exception of the Baubles, most of these items get extremely powerful especially when the synergy bonuses start to come into play - in other words, these would work great for Forgotten Realms or other "high fantasy" settings.

With that said, there is still a lot to like. Some are pretty imaginative and some even have a bit of humor tossed into them. The price is certainly right for the sheer volume of items provided.

Thats all I have to say... and remember, "With great power comes great stupidity. Don't touch the wall."

I can't believe all of the stuff packed into this book! With the idea of items gaining more abilities as the character levels as well as synergy bonuses from other parts allows GM's to introduce "Artifacts" to characters at all levels.

This reminds me a lot of the set items from the Diablo II computer game. I've always wanted to do a d20 version of those and this gives me some groundwork and a place to start!

Some great little goodies to add spice to any adventure or campaign. The idea of the whole is greater than the sum of its parts is well played out in these artifacts! Great addition to any GM's library!

A very nice product. I like the idea of having many minor artifacts building up to a major articat set. The only thing I found that detracted from the quality of the product was the lack of a table of contents. This would've made finding each section a lot easier.
