The quality of the artwork is as high as its ever been for the Item Cards. While the order the cards are numbered in is a bit odd (I'm sure there's some rhyme and reason to it, but I've no idea what it is), it's very easy to sort the cards both by type (armor, weapons, potions, etc) and alphabetically.

I'll just say it- I love this mini. The pose is much more dynamic than any of the fire giants made so far by either the D&D minis line or Reaper. From every bulging muscle down to the cruel scowl on its face, this guy is unbridled malice. And that sword... God help the poor fool who gets smacked with that thing.

The miniature is scaled to stand about twelve feet tall compared to a 28mm human figure, so it's the right size. I think it weighs a metric ton, but thanks to the lead alloy it's very affordable.

I'd have given it the full five stars, but my criticism of the mini is the same for all of the P-65 figures I've seen. The alloy just doesn't seem to take the mold as well as the tin Reaper figures do, so (and maybe this is just my imagination) the features aren't as sharp as they could be. The softness of the metal also means bends and breaks are inevitable, such as the base peg that had snapped from one of the mini's feet when I got it. However, that was an easy fix, and the mini painted up beautifully.

Since this book was announced I just kept thinking that if it's at least as good as the 3.x Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting (I think easily the best supplement made by WotC for third edition), it will easily be worth the price of admission.

I've just spent two hours taking in the depth and scope of the book, and I'd already say it easily surpasses my hopes and expectations.

The Pathfinder Chronicles Campaign Setting is a classic.

There are no words to express the profound love I have for this mini.

The various Item Cards always add spice to the gaming experience, but having the cards for Rise of the Runelords showing the major items and weapons encountered is invaluable.
