As can be seen by the other reviews, this is a living document in the best possible way. The author has made so many creative additions to "Trinkets and Treasures from Theros" from its initial publication that allow it to be used for any D&D 5e campaign setting while retaining a distinctly Theros flavor. The items include 32 common (such as the Pendant of Reunion) to legendary (Bow of the Hunt) items, weapons, potions, and armor as well as 9 artifacts inspired by the Theros minor gods. I was impressed that the items were creative mechanically, interesting from a flavor perspective, and balanced enough that I could see myself using them at my table without revision.

I received a free copy of "Trinkets and Treasures from Theros, v.2.3" for review purposes.

James has put together a very usable collection of flavorful Theros items, but they are easily usable in any setting. If you are in Theros, these supplement what is presented in the published book nicely. If you are in another setting, you can easily replace a name and apply the items to your world's major or minor dieties. They are well-balanced and many are beautifully illustrated as well.

I'll be using several of these items in my game!

A great collection of items and weapons to use in my campaigns, thanks!

Trinkets and Treasures from Theros by James Dodds (@NoobChat)

“A collection of magic items from Common to Legendary created and suited to the upcoming Theros setting!

Currently numbering 32 unique magic items to amaze and horrify, perfect for any adventure set in Theros or easily adaptable to a more general setting.

Plus, 6 bonus artifacts from Theros's minor Gods, such as Iroas and Kruphix!”

This a seriously impressive treasure trove of magic items for Theros and beyond!

I am always looking for new items, as I am rather liberal with them, and I am especially looking for items befitting my crew of heroes in my Theros game. So, these with their fabulous flavour, on brand theme and witty flavour text! I LOVE it when items have flavour text!!

I will go through and speak to some of the elements that stood out to me the most:

Amulet of The Speaker is a charming little necklace that showed me I was in good hands with this flavour text: “This item can often be found in the pockets of charlatans or philosophers preaching unconventional views” which wraps the mechanics, setting and artwork up in a neat little bow.

Belt of the Travelling Artisan. Now, I am not a big tracker of carrying capacity, but with “3 slots for standard tool kits, and space to add 2 pouches” that help take the weight off for a travelling artisan on the go! My warforged guild artisan artificer, Z4R3N, could really do with this with the wealth of kits they have.

Bow of The Hunt. We’re getting legendary now, which has, among many others, the gloriously on theme abilities any devout of Nylea would kill for: “Return Home”, whisked you back to Setessa and “Spirit of Nylea” actually summons an avatar of the god of the hunt to set upon your foes, as do the other legendary items of their respective god!

Pendant of Reunion. Another lovely addition to the tradition of the compass that guides you home. With this one “created in the groves of Setessa by enchanting a pinecone” a perfect gift for wandering kiddies and a lovely trinket and taste of a hero’s past.

A beautifully depicted, described and sommeliered with tastes and abilities particularly sweet from the Potion of Critical Analysis (which is a brilliant name and concept), through Potions of Portent Dreams of various strengths to a potion to steel the mind of Twin Gods’ warriors minds.

Quill of the Dream Weaver. A common wondrous item, little more than a trinket in most settings. BUT in Theros the ability to “focus and detail [your] dreams from the previous night” opens a whole world of prophecy, omen, and wiggle-room for DMs to have the gods communicate and give glimpses of a quests target or an item of legend. Underworld, these are” often used by the oracles, philosophers, and heroes of Theros to record visions.” That is huge! A valuable item to be found for a hero? Sure. The journal of an oracle to glimpse at? The diary of another hero your god asks you to peek at? SO many possibilities!

There are so many cool things here! Shackles to set up a hero and stuck together by an angry god, Scorpion’s chain for everyone who wants to live out there “GET OVER HERE” fantasies, a whip that becomes a big snake or lots of snakes!

Then there’s artifacts of the minor gods with more to come, 6 of the 15 so far! These are epic item, they are artifacts after all, but this is Theros, who knows when or why a mortal (or demi-god) might get their grubby mitts on them. They follow the Piety and destruction conventions, which sets up all manner of quest ideas on their own. Wield Athreos’ Sticky McBoatstick, Katabasi, blow Xenagos’ flute of truly terrifying dirges, Eudokia, and prove your might with Iroas’ Mycenaean-era thrusting spear of go all night that is in no way trying to compensate for Heliod’s far more storied Panhellenic proboscis.

There is some really lovely commissioned artwork for a good chunk of the items. I would be keen to know who the artists were.

It is always lovely to see a creator actively coming back and adding new items to coincide with milestones and taking an interest in the supplement after release.

This is quite simply a bloody brilliant selection of items covering all rarities and occasion that fit the setting, toeing that line between Grecian myth and beyond!

I have been planning adventures, moments and more in my mind the whole way through reading and writing this review. I simply cannot wait to employ these in my game!

You can never go wrong with more magical items. All seem balanced with their rarity. The most notible of these are the Artifacts of the minor gods. This is something that is completely overlooked in the MOT book. The only con, is the layout is a little dull. There are some magic item images which are nice, but they are integrated in a generic pattern and the awesome artifacts don't have any images to spark those creative juices.

The Mythic Odysseys of Theros provide 5 artifacts that are based from the major gods' weapons. When running a Theros campaign though, these items are not really useful if your game and your players focuses on the lesser gods. This product fixes that! This supplement provides fairly balanced, artifact magic items based on the minor deities. Not all, but there are 6 artifacts already in the product. That alone makes it a good reason to get this! Also, the fact that this supplement has an additional 30+ magic items, makes it a steal!
