I'd rather have a donbra

Excellent! Bag of Devouring...

I was hoping for something on a bag of tricks. Mostly because of this

My GM just recently gifted my beloved Kitsune (chorus: "We love you!") with a Deck of Many Things. So far, it has lead to my Ranger jumping straight to level 7 without passing go, the Kitsune being granted what my GM calls a "Nine Tails Stealer" (Nine Lives Stealer longsword), and seeded a trip to Castle Amber when said Kitsune drew "Void".

I LOVE the Deck of Many Things. It is THE premier and definitive awesome 'minor artifact'.

No Belt of Masculinity/Femininity?

That was a fun item to include at times, wasn't it? Even if it could lead to a pummeled DM.

Can't promise what makes it to the final cut, but I believe it will be there in spirit with a brief cameo of sorts.

I can't wait to buy it...

One of my favorite magic item ever :
The famous and infamous Deck of Many Things.

The best way to doom PCs while rewarding them >:)

Ok that sword that guy is holding is wayyy to big..Sometimes Wayne's art on his weapons can sometimes look maybe a little animeish, but this one went a little too far. Who is the artist?

It's awesome! Amiri got new kicks!!!

Wait.. that is Amiri in the art?... Then NM about my above post. She is supposed to have a weapon like that.

Nah, that's just the right size for her actually. This is Amiri we're talking about!

Vorpal two-hander @#$% yeah. Also curious about this artist, but in a much more positive way.

It's Amiri with a vorpal sword and wearing a helm of brilliance. :)

Heheheh

I love vorpal swords.

One of the ways to get my epic party worried :)

Last adventure, I threw in a sanguine talisman with an advanced balor in it (I figure the demonic ones would work just like the abyssal ones), and that whip/sword combo was *nasty*.

Mr. Balor didn't last long, but he took out three characters in two rounds, including one wearing armor of moderate fortification :)

She really seems to have a thing for big... swords. But then who can blame the girl? :)

Oh hush folks, it's smaller than her FF7 default sword :)

Oh hush folks, it's smaller than her FF7 default sword :)

The thing that begs pointing out is that Amiri and Berserk's Guts actually look like they can weild their swords unlike a certain spiky-haired J-pop star-lookalike. :D

Considering a Barbarian can and should have Str 16-18 at first level, you and be able to throw cars after lv12, I'm not that bothered!

And it looks awesome!

Who is the artist?

It looks like Kerem Beyit but then I was wrong about the Realm of the Fellnight Queen cover, so don't take my word for it.

TOC says Kerem Beyit is the cover artist.

It's Amiri with a vorpal sword and wearing a helm of brilliance. :)

Its most excellent sir

Oooo, who else is on the authors list for this one? I like who I've seen so far.

There were five others beyond those on the cover. I'll let them identify themselves (though I think I mentioned one of them on my LJ).

Will the bag of holding section describe how you can enter one bag of holding and then travel to others? Or give a history of the bag wars?

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.

SOLD!

Cursed items? Well now, it's not precisely cursed if you're standing on the opposite side of the situation, having been responsible for it all. Delightful little things you can make, curse, scatter and seed them across creation and just watch as the fun begins.

*cackle*

I don't want to spill anyone's beans, but I got to do the vorpal sword. And it was fun.

This book is going to be unbearably cool. Bated breath for the Bag of Holding chapter.

I did the Bag of Holding Chapter. I do hope you enjoy it.

This is SUCH a great idea. I wish I'd thought of it.

Horn of the Valhalla. And it is a fun book idea, looking forward to all the variants.

With folks chipping in on which items they did, I had the pleasure of doing the Sphere of Annihilation and the Well of Many Worlds. :)

Other than the cover art, we've really seen no previews or hints for this one. **ahem**blogpost**cough**

By just very quickly looking through the pdf and reading here and there this looks to be an amazing product!!!!

I was thinking while reading it that the Sphere chapter sounded like your work, Todd. Lots of good, weird, planar lore loosely threaded through it, just like Great Beyond. :)

ETA on the PDF for non-subscribers?

On the retail release date: April 28.

Thank you!

Glad you liked it! I tried to sprinkle little bits of lore to tie into stuff from TGB there with the sceaduinar, and then a certain laughing fiend in the Well chapter. :)

Wow! This book is awesome!

I absolutely love the Golarion bits throughout. Great work all!

I wonder if the bag of holding chapter will include the haversack?

We tried to put it in there, but it kept blowing up.

If you can't put your haversack into your bag of holding, put it in your portable hole.

<eg>

Reading this now,

Just had to pipe up on the Field of Endless Hues. We did this when we were (much) younger. One of the players drew Talons, and then for the next couple years, his items would pop up in other campaigns, always driving him crazy.

And I love the mother deck. Just surprised it doesn't go ping ping ping all the time.

Let me add, now I want to write up a varient Horn of Valhalla, the Horn of Lothar, a psionic item that calls up hoards of psychic warriors with bows. :-)

That is brilliant - props to the DM!

This was pretty cool, but now i have to ask. When do we get the book of Classic Cursed Items Revisited? :)
