Very cool. Could this be the product that Sean was working on when he asked for OGL Ioun Stones? I hope they're in the book!
Nope, the ioun stone stuff is for Seekers of Secrets... which is partly why ioun stones aren't a featured item in this book (we don't want to repeat material between the two, or have one be a less-than-complete look at the subject).
Interestingly, of the listed treasures, the past week has seen references around my house to:
Sphere of Annihilation
Figurines of Wondrous Power
Deck of Many Things
Bag of Holding
And keep in mind, we've not played D&D in months. When the boy presented a scenario and said, "The best way out of that is to use a Sphere of Annihilation and..." I felt I had to shut him down quickly!! :D
Will there be anything beyond the treatments of those items?
Some treasure tables perhaps?
Art descriptions?
Coinage fluff?
Plz?
The format of the book will be similar to the other Revisited books we've done; 10 chapters of 6 pages each for all of the mentioned items. There'll certainly be a lot of art in the book, and there might be some sort of tables or something (not sure what, but if there are, they'll be small and highly focused), but there won't be any talk about other types of treasure, really, including coins.
Figurines and the deck for me. I always loved those things.Me too, the deck of many things was such a staggering find, and the figuries could not have been more aptly named, but I picked up a vorpal sword in one of the G modules and it changed my life. Made me the am I am today.
"Day of Al'Akbar" for me. A dwarf fighter/thief with a vorpal short sword... Those were the days :)

No Holy Avenger? Seelah and Iomedae are going to be pissed.
I really don't see how you're going to be able to get six pages of material for each item. Two or three certainly, but six? I'd much rather see a book with 20-30 items rather than just 10. Feels like overkill, though Paizo's yet to really let me down from what they've/you've promised.
Hope you all can pull it off.

You'd be surprised how quickly the proposed item's writeup for this book fills.
Assuming you can parse the weird grammar in that sentence.

With that kind of limited weapon reach, how does a dwarf even hop up to where the opponent's head is? Such a weapon needs accompanient by an equally enchanted highchair.

Always with the short jokes this one...
I actually had a similar debate with my DM at the time. Eventually I pointed out to him that "dead is dead" and said my dwarf would chop off the giant's head... eventually. You see, in my book, starting at the ankles and working your way up one chop at a time counts. :)
I also remember my dwarf ended up with some sort of theme song based on a jingle for a food processor, maybe the veg o matic?

LOL... I take your point.
Horn of Valhalla... awesome! this northman can't wait...
[Plays theme tune to "The Vikings" in anticipation]
What is going to be interesting about the Horn of Vahalla that will be interesting is how it fits in with the Golarion Campaign setting.
(Since, as a Chronicles Book, this is supposed to be campaign specific)
We have Ulfen, this might be a good glimpse into their particular afterlife.

Hint: Folks in Golarion would likely call it the "Horn of the Linnorm Kings" or something like that, but nothing else will change. In fact, this'll hopefully be a cool opportunity to show how easy a flavorful item is to import across campaigns by changing only the name to fit a similar theme in the destination world.

I really like that name. It's lore-steeped and it would make me feel kingly for owning it.

True! But changing the name aside, it might also be a good way to describe how the item interacts with the setting... above and beyond changing the name. Just like in the Classic Monsters series we see how each creatures is part of the setting.
That is a cool name, BTW.
Is the Stick of Studliness (aka Rod of Lordy Might) going to be one of the items detailed in the book?
That was actually my first thought... followed by the original Wand of Force (AKA "AD&D's take on Light Sabers")
Gamer Concepts used to have a t-shirt "Let me show you my Rod of Lordly Might"... OK, so it's an old joke, but still sold a few.
The book has a section for each chapter called Related Items that addresses items with similar effects (the bag of holding chapter will talk about haversacks and portable holes, frex), and the outline says if there are cursed forms of the item, discussion of them goes there as well.
just when this book couldn't sound any cooler
