Can you have too many collections of magical items? Not really. It's one of the reasons we play, yeah? Sure, playing itself is rewarding. But we want loot! The more, the better. Shopp has made a convincing case for why these items would exist in the first place, how they were curated into Ezzat’s Catalogue of Magical Oddities, as well as a reasonable methodology for mechanically and thematically including them in your sessions.

Furthermore, Ezzat and Ipses are fun characters and deserve to be part of your campaigns' lore.

Most games starve you of magic items. It's refreshing to have a DM who prefers to drown you in them. Colin knows nothing hurts worse than a players decisions coming back to bite them in the a$$.

An excellent resource to add serious and satirical magical content into your games. The collectible magical items are great fun, and the spell customization is a nice addition to the standard spellcasting system. This supplement presents a helpful structure for adding artificers into your game and the services they might provide for the players.

Want to troll your players? Useless magical items are the way!!

The original artwork in the book is outstanding, rivaling officially published sourcebooks.

10/10, would buy again.

Excellent art and humorous commentary. An entertaining way to flesh out campaigns with more interesting loot and interactions. Not everything is STRONG, but everything is FUN. This is a game, after all.

This 50+ page tome of spells, magic items, and miscellaneous lore makes for an excellent addition to any 5th Edition D&D campaign. It is written with unusual clarity, creativeness, and humor, and the original art created for this book is wonderful.

Some highlights:

• In addition to a bunch of brand new spells that help fill gaps that remain in official content, this book introduces the concept of spell upgrades. Upgrades can be combined with different spells to produce countless interesting effects that make them significantly more interesting for tactical combat.
• The magic item collectibles are a punny delight. Your players will love tracking down these collectibles wherever you plant them in your campaign, especially if you dangle the set bonuses in front of them.
• The book is full of great humor, including wry commentary from Ipses and cleverly designed "useless" magic items.

This catalogue is especially well-suited as a supplement to the Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage adventure book. That adventure has a copious quantity of bland real estate that needs spicing, and Ezzat and Ipses both feature as minor characters. But really, I recommend it to anyone who wants to add a splash of humor and fun to their D&D campaign.
