A neat selection of new magic items for D&D 5th Edition. There are minor issues - some grammar problems, and some of the mechanics seem overly complicated, and the rarities seem off here and there - but they're balanced out by the creativity of the items, as well as the included story hooks. A worthwhile addition to a 5th Edition library, especially for $1!

Tools of the Trade is an art-focused magical item book - by which I mean this was created because the art was there, so each item contained within has a corresponding image that can be shown to players. That's surprisingly rare for magical items, actually, and it helps this 15-page, full-color product set itself apart from others.

This book contains 16 new items (usually 2 per page) of various rarities and styles, with brief flavor descriptions to help give them a little more presence. Some of these items are intended for players, but others are explicitly intended for NPCs and villains instead of the players, and I appreciate giving foes a few more handy tools. $2 is a pretty fair deal for this many unique items (with art!), and I think it's a pretty solid investment if you're looking for some additional magical items with curious effects to surprise your players with.
