Item Pack One contains 54 non-random playing-card–sized cards to help GMs track important treasures. Each card features a beautiful full-color illustration of an item (weapon, armor, wondrous item, etc.) on one side, with a text description and room for notes on the opposite side. A GM can hand these out the next time their PCs get treasure and watch as players learn to love managing their booty. A code on each card helps GMs track which card corresponds to which treasure.
Useable by experienced GMs and novices alike, this product fits perfectly into any Game Master's arsenal.

The Item Pack I is an excellent product for all dungeon crawlers and fans of D&D and fantasy RPGs who want to have a better organization and/or visual references for equipment and magic items:
These cards allow for some easy tracking of "who owns what" during the game, "what's been given to whom" and "what's been sold and/or bought". Plus, it serves as a neat visual reference for weird items and can possibly provide triggers for DMs to come up with more inspired descriptions of items in the game.
The production value for $9.95 is good, the cards are "Magic: the Gathering"-like in terms of quality (which is to say, very good), and the back of the card (the white area to write down the specifics of the item) is laminated differently to allow an easier writing.
Excellent idea, excellent execution. Can't wait for the next packs.
I had my doubts, but I love the cards and can't wait to start using them. The artwork is very good and the cards seem like they will hold up pretty well to abuse. I bought 2 packs and have no regrets. I'll be buying boosters when they arrive also, good job Paizo!
These sound AWESOME. As an artist, I appreciate the fine art Mr. Vincent Dutrait produces, and I remember buying the Spellfire cards (back in the day) just for their artwork (I never actually played the game). Not to mention I LOVE the idea of player handouts and 54 cards for only 9.95 is great!
