I understand the negative reviews on this set. But I do thing it has a good variety of items to write up. The art work looks comic like and not very detailed. I think with such a small image details in the art work really show.
Ok, first of all, I don't play Pathfinder AP's, I play in my own home-made campaign in the world of Greyhawk. That being said, these cards are awesome! I like the artwork, the descriptions, the style. I would have preferred (goes for all sets) less wands and staves, but apart from that, excellent stuff. Really great to hand out! Love them :-)
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.
I held off on this deck based on the bad reviews, even though I could not see the problem people were talking about on the sample cards.
I'm glad I finally got this one! The art is GREAT and I don't see any "blurry" -ness.
This set is at least as good as any of the others. I can see using many of these items as Drow weapons & armor, but they really could fit as any exotic or stylized equipment.
The sample cards shown do not do this deck justice. Paizo should post several more sample images from this deck and let buyers judge for themselves.
I'm still baffled by the poor reviews.
Also: the Holy Symbols in this set are Cayden Cailean & Calistria.
Artwork was blurry, for one. That would be excusable if these cards were actual representations of the items found in Second Darkness, instead of blank ones. Love the AP but you can definitely skip this product.
