This product is an interesting mix. While all the items listed inside are in the vein of the famous Arthur C Clarke quote about magic, the power levels are varied by quite a bit.

There are several items that could very well be the beginning of a campaign because of how strongly they would affect the surrounding area out to a considerable distance. These need to be handled carefully and not dropped into a campaign on a whim as they will change the world when they are fuilly revealed Some are weaker, but still powerful enough to start a story arc as they would easily hold sway over the area of a large city. These are season long stories begging to be told, if you view the game from a tv series metaphor, as they can easily change the balance of power in their areas. Finally some are weird but lower powered. In my experience these are the items you hand out to stir the pot or discover just what sort of trouble the players will get into with them. These are the items that will see the most play in a game, as they arent a plot point, they arent a goal, or a dues ex machina, but they weirdness that makes post apocalypse gaming different from sci-fi or fantasy. The mutant running around with the weird animal totem item that she doesnt understand but still uses will always be more memorable than a flat mechanical bonus item.

My complaint with this is not content based, but layout. All the items are listed alphabetically, so a trinket is next to the train of doom. This doesnt work for me, as I see several distinct power levels and would have prefered to see them listed by that. That way when im looking to do world building I could just look up the most powerful items, but if Im doing long term planning I could look at the middle group, or look at the weakest when it comes to game session prep. All in all, good ideas that are jumbled up, which gets distracting for me
