At first I got these cards as something of a lark - just to see the art, and maybe use on some special occasion.

Now I hand out just about all magic item item treasure as an item card (and masterwork items early on too).

While particularly useful combined with the item packs for the Pathfinder Adventure Paths, these packs contain enough cards to do the job for most items in most games, homebrew or not.

The cards themselves are absolutely fantastic in regards to art and cloudy wonderment of what - if anything - these items might actually do for a PC or NPC BBEG. I have found added benefit for my players by a little extra planning using pre-made adventures. I look over the module for any specific equipment or treasure, and place those related cards in a binder for reference. I also gave my 1st level PCs a simple folder with a customized character sheet, graph paper, and a plastic card sheet for up to nine cards (and one class or race specific item card as a nifty bonus to introduce them to my treasure allotment scheme). It has been a very fruitful experience.

I loved the idea of these...hand players an card for each item they find, they keep a master list of the items properties, etc. However, in practice this required so many cards in such variety that I quickly returned to my old index-card based system. Not really a fault of Paizo's execution, I just didn't find these all that useful.

I bought a pack at the local gaming store thinking they might be like the old D&D magic item cards. One side of the card has a decient picture. On the back there is a physical description of the item on the front. Thats it. No game stats for quick reference. There is a small space for notes. Didn't care for them at all.

Bought a pack at the local hobby store after I had gotten a freebie pack with an earlier order with Paizo. Absolutely wonderful, I will need to get another pack for myself later at some point. Keep them coming!

Very attractive and useful, and at a good price.

I have an idea of how you could sell the items and make everyone happy. Make a list of ALL the items. Atleast all the basic items found in the PH's and DMG's of the most popular Table top RPG's. in this case I will use DnD as an example. I would list all simple, martial and exotic weapons. all armor and shields. and all basic equpiment including but not limited to alchemists labs and clothes. I'd even put the water clock in there. Now you will have a pretty nice list for us to select from, and how I would get us to choose would be to put a quantity box beside the name of each item. like the way you do with the shopping cart. We know the box set of items comes with 54 cards. So what I suggest is that you make the amount you must buy when picking itmes out for yourself should be something along the lines of say 35 cards and pay the price of a full box set. because you get to pick exactly what you wanted so you're paying for convience. This way people buying for the first time would still buy the box set to get a start up for what appears to be cheaper. and people who already have 1,2 or 3 box sets can start picking and prodding through items they feel they need. Mull over my idea I think it will help you out alot.

These cards are amazing. There's nothing better than the look on your player's faces after they open the sealed envelope full of actual treasure after defeating the BBEG.

These cards are great for player inventory management, DM magic item management, and keeping track of special plot items. The artwork and print quality are top notch. At only $10 these are a steal!

A long time ago TSR released a set of cards (monster, NPCs, novel charaters and a few weapons). I used these to hand out to my players and they loved it. The cards were very specific and not that great of art sometimes, but they were coveted. Now years later you shoudl see the face of my players when they were handed some "Real Treasure". These are great and I love the idea. Maybe some more specific boxes would be nice, like a weapons box or armor box...less potions and scrolls.

Just so you guys know the 54 card set shown here is not random. Not in the least. The cards are number 1-54 and those are the ones you get. The booster packs are random but not these packs.

I really love these things too. I have never used anything like them in the past but will always do so from now on.
