I loved the original Plot Twist set. This one is a nice supplement. It adds considerable breadth, if not depth. I was hoping for a different feel for this set, with a strong focus on memory and manipulating the past, (maybe introducing a new mechanic, etc.). There are a few cards that do this, but most of the set is similar in flavor to the previous one. A good set. I recommend it.

Kieran Yanner does some lovely art in this set. Great items on the whole. This set adds some much needed black powder weaponry to the Gamemastery lineup. There were more holy symbols than I expected/wanted and I would have liked to see another musket. The one provided is quite elaborate so it would have been nice to have a second one of a slightly more generic nature. All in all a great set. I highly recommend it.

This is a fabulous set. Almost entirely full of human characters from all walks of life and all levels of reputability. With this set I finally feel like I can USE the face card sets instead of just looking at them and thinking, "wouldn't that be nice." For the next set I'd like to see would be chock full of non-humans and monsters.

Interesting items, many of which seem pretty useful (medicine kit!) and some of which are quite evocative. I like this new artist. Nice clean work while still being interesting and staying true to the horror genre. Not quite the box of eldritch horrors I'd hoped and feared for in my darkest rat-infested dreams, but a good and spooky solid set.

I think all in all this is one of my least favorite Game Mastery Item Card decks. It's not bad, really, but nothing in it was really inspiring. Worth getting for the sake of completion, but...

This set has some really weird stuff in the beautiful and interesting kind of way. The Dog Slicer and Horse Chopper are totally sweet, and what the heck is up with that crazy one eyed mask? I love it!

The WTF factor on a couple of items is a bit high, but I apparently like that sort of thing. Reinforced scarf though? What is that all about? I guess it makes a heck of a lot more sense than a bladed scarf.

I really dig the primitive tribal thing going on in this set. I wouldn't mind seeing something similar on down the line. Am thinking about picking up a second copy of this one.

Really, every GM knows that regardless of whatever awesome and curious magic items and artifacts he throws out there, what the players want most is magic weapons. Having a 54 card deck of just weapons is a very good plan. Some of the weapons in this set are interesting or slightly strange/unusual, which is fine by me. I wouldn't mind seeing more of that.

What I'd really like to see next is a 54 card deck entirely full of armor. Or maybe armor and clothing.

Oh, to clear something up real quick, this set was not actually done by the same artist as Second Darkness.

I can understand people's complaints that some of the items look "puffy" but frankly i like this set for the most part. I mean, it was advertised as containing weird alien items and whatnot. It kind of stands to reason that the items contained within would look pretty weird. The demonic plate is totally out there, the robe is pretty stylish, and the tentacle wand is pretty freakin' creepy. I admit that Lukac's style may not be all that well suited to mundane items, but I wouldn't mind seeing his weirder stuff in another set. It'd be nice to have a break from the more standard fantasy fare.

Good pictures, though not as good as the original face card set. Useful, but not as much variety. My major complaint is the card stock seemed to be of a much lower quality than the other Game Mastery card sets I've bought. It feels flimsy, bends too much in the middle, and is too coarse on the back, making it really difficult to shuffle or thumb through. The cards stick together! If future products have this problem, I'll lose interest in the line really fast.

Summary: Decent product for utility, disappointing quality. Probably wouldn't recommend.

A great looking, solid construction deck box. Sesheyans look so badass. The deck is a little bit of a tight fit for a sleeved 60 card deck with 15 card sideboard, but it does the trick. I like it!

Beautiful art with great colors. I use it for my Bant Battlegrace Angel deck. One of my favorite Rebecca Guay pictures. A somewhat tight fit for a sleeved 60 card deck with a 15 card sideboard, but performs admirably.

Nice sturdy box. Smokin' hot big beautiful succubus by DiTerlizzi. A somewhat tight fit for a sleeved 60 card deck with 15 card sideboard, but not too bad. Good all around.
