If I find the items roughly the same worth, I vote for the one with the fewest formatting mistakes. I hate capitalized words, instead of bolding and walls of text make my eyes bleed.

Also if you don't say what it is in the first sentence I stop reading. You might like your description of fire with embedded ice chips capped with molybdenum, but I want to know what sort of weapon/item it is!

Oh man, if I came to my GM with that item he would slap me.

Remember, in print there are no paragraph breaks, but it does make reading entries really hard to read on line. That really isn't the fault of the designer.

Something for future designing, PLEASE get the name/type of item out fast and in the first line if at all possible! I have seen many entries where the first several lines are literary backstories (big no-no in these types of items) and excessively long descriptions. Get your item out there fast gang.

Also, if you are writing a magic item, describe its magic properties first! I do not care that it is a +3 masterwork beat stick if I'm a sorcerer, it's nice to know that it can be, but I'm looking for the magic mojo.

Fire item versus fire item.

Gary, are you sure that the server hasn't spontaneously developed snide (or at least humorous) AI when you weren't looking?

The fire item won.

Ack! Same two items, just on opposite sides! Vu Deja!

This has happened to me a few times. Each time the timer was shorter than 60 seconds the second time. I was in an area where the internet was flaky, so I suspect it meant that my first vote didn't actually go through.

I have now counted 147 distinct items. Staves and Rings seem to be coming up a lot.


Ugh. The exactly the same pair came immediately after I voted... They apparently thought that if they switch places I won't notice!

Highest price seen so far is just over 1/4 million gp. I'm sure I'll see higher!

Edit- Star Voter!

Just had a pairing of two potentially Superstar items. In the end it just came down to me saying "I just like the style of this one better."

Which part of 'avoid ALL CAPS' instruction <censored> is so hard to understand?


I think that the highest price I got, or at least noticed was ca. 187 thousands.

I've seen higher...sort of.

Congrats!


First few items I saw were better than what I get now.

Seeing an unreal proportion of chain shirts. Most are made of mithral.


If your entry leaves me with more questions than answers, you lose the round. (Mainly because I can't ask anyone for answers to my questions. Anonymity, and all that.)


Nice idea for a weapon but it's rather weak for it's price.


Second spell-stealing weapon.

Gotta say...I haven't quite warmed to this design space yet. I think it's just that I don't understand the parameters as well as I did for Wondrous Items.

Haven't really seen any wind yet...but I'm seeing a lot of radiance.


Rather unimpressive SIAC - the first pure SIAC I have seen in this contest plus crappy formatting... A bit of shame actually, because the item opposite it was quite good and would deserve decent competition instead of opponent that downvoted itself on its own.

Yeah, I like Spider-Man too.

Monstrous anatomy fail.


Ordinary (at the first look) item for which looking ordinarily has actual sense. Neat. Opposition shoot itself in the foot by not following formatting anyway.


Classic Marvel reference.

I'm seeing a lot of "Player's Dream" items. The kind of items that officially put the PC into god-mode, capable of killing anything they encounter with little to no risk to themselves.

Folks need to know that "Which item is better?" doesn't necessarily mean "Which item is stronger?"


Advanced Class Guide item. Interesting idea but lacks explanation what happens when <redacted due to anonymity requirements>.


I was thinking someone should have linked to SKR's advice threads. I was right. A lot of familiar missteps showing up.

Just think of how many mithral chain weapons could've been made from a single such shirt.

Whoever made this item is clearly insane, but that's okay because it's amazing.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

I'm hoping to see my own item some time soon. I hit submit without previewing it first (I know...derp) so I'm anxious to see what it actually looks like.

I think a lot of the entrants didn't understand the parameters either.

That's the kind of mojo I wanna hear about!

I've seen the same ring four times. That's okay, though. It deserved the votes it got.

I also saw an unusual number of item pairs with identical themes. It was unnerving for a few rounds there.

Made Star Voter and I have to get up early tomorrow. See you guys in the morning! :)

Dedicated Voter Season 8

I know the voting faq says I won't see the same item very often, but there is this one rod that's come up for me like 5 times now.

I don't think I actually completely understood what this elusive "mojo" was until I saw that one.

Going to take a small break and collate the data I have gathered from voting. Brb.

Star Voter Season 8

There's definitely a handful of items I've seen two or three times already.

Seen some really awesome items, and others that left me questioning if the person actually read the instructions.


Ugh. Grammar terror versus no formatting.

*blinks*

How can anyone not know there's already a magic item with that name? That's like not knowing there was a basketball player named Michael Jordan.


Timeout before voting is definitely too long.

The One Ring? Stormbringer? Greyswandir? Werewindle? Ghost Wheel?

What an amusing typo.


Is there above average number of wind-based items this year?

Star Voter Season 8

Is that underpriced? I feel like that's underpriced.
