When this item was announced I and my group were none to happy about the random concept that was applied to the second and third set. Though as time progressed and I got free packs I began to look at them differently.

Now looking at them from a long term stand point I have grown to enjoy them greatly. The "random" quality of the sets does not always feel really random (two identical boosters card for card) but it gives me multiples of the high consumables that my group uses. This way all the cure light wound potions look the same. Or a group of military NPCs all carry equipment that looks the same. And since there is no; common, uncommon, rare, and ultra rare I have no problem buying them because I don't feel pushed into trying to complete a set that is nigh impossible to do by just buying the packages.

All being weighed and measured the product was a wonderful addition to the item cards but because of being called "random" it burned many customers who have been burned by such products in the past.

I recently ordered a package from Paizo, and received one of these booster packs free. I enjoyed the gift.

After spending some time reviewing what these cards where and talking to my fellow players, we agreed that in fact it would add to much work to be used as treasure, and to much to store all these cards with their character sheet. a itme takes up 1 line of text on a character sheet. As opposed to a card.

We considered the idea of using it to determine random treasure, but then realized that we would need enough cards(duplicates) to match the possibilities in the DMG.

Like i said, i like the idea, i just cannot find it useful.

I've been buying a pack here and a pack there for several months now. I now have need to purchase sleeves to hold and display what I have and keep track of what I do and I don't have out of the set. I detail the cards and what they before I show them to the players so having the option of a factory set, no matter how expensive would be appreciated.

The prduct is great, but. I really think it would be a good idea to have several sets that were even more specific. I loved the original box, but I hate random. I have to agree with the people who wrote about having a box of weapons...3-4 of each weapon in the PHB each a different picture..then an armor one done the same way and then one of the wonderous items. I know one that wouldn't sell too well though..scrolls and potions.. I have about a hundred of each already...but only one great sword. It is not worth it to keep buying random pacts in hopes of another great sword and get more potions and scrolls. I really do love the idea though and the cards are good quality.

A good concept executed well. Obviously I enjoy the cards but there are a few things I'd like to see done differently.

I'm not thrilled with random distribution but I understand why it is done and can live with it. However, I'd like to see less scrolls, potions, and (especially) wands and staves and more armor, weapons, and wondrous items instead. Yes, characters use a lot of scrolls and potions but I really don’t need a lot of different pretty pictures of them. In many cases they are items that I can be comfortable just giving my players printed cards of. I find that the amount of wands and staves in this set far outpaces their use by my players and again I don’t need wands with many distinct looks – I’d much rather have more variations of armor and weapons.

The artwork is good and there is a nice feel of consistency from the fact that one artist is responsible for all of it. However, this does result on a lack of variation, as any artist will tend to use the same style repeatedly. I like the artist’s style but it would nice to get some variation.

I would like you expand on these item cards to cover everything in a world even dishes books artifacts expesially.I would like to log in all the items I put in my world with these cards I've boughten 10 pack so far and will spend every extra dollar and pop can on more!please come out with more thanks -jeremy

I love the cards, but am not too keen on the random aspect. Despite missing 12 out of the set, I still have more than enough cards to represent most of the armor, weapons, and items the PCs will find/use. I may pick up a couple more boosters in hopes of acquiring a few of the missing cards. Sets 3 and 4 can't come out soon enough.

This is a good product. I like these cards and use them in my game. However, the repeats of cards previously published in the Pack 1, if not numerous (I had only a couple of them with four boosters), is a bit disappointing. This should have been pointed out in the announcements before the product's actual release.

I agree that the distribution of the cards could use *a bit* of work (more scrolls, potions, etc), but I find the bulk of the negative comments rather sad. I Used the IP1 cards as the most abundant MIs, so I love the fact that they included them all in the boosters.

The fact of the matter is, that this is a great supplement for DM who are willing/able to invest a few extra $$ into their games and a whole display box of boosters isn't any more expensive than a higher-priced campaign setting book, for instance. I've also encouraged my players to pick me up now and again, since it's only increasing their experience ;)

I can't wait for more expansions!!

Cards are beautiful and will be a lot of fun to play with BUT I'm still not wild about the random assortments and I was surprised that so many of the cards in the Hero's Hoard pack were repeats of cards in the starter set. Still, I'm happy with the set.
