Thanks for the notes on the Lash of Wild Roses! I can see where I needed to clarify, and where I could have made better use of the word-count for effective flavor.

"a full-page map, or a previously unmapped fantasy-themed location in Golarion"

Was that "or" intended to be "of"?

My inner editor keeps tripping over it, trying to find the hidden meaning.

"Gross" or "Shock-Jock" items have a very steep hill to climb in this competition.

I'd add overly "evil" items are challenging as well. A variation on the "item being for both the GM and PC" lesson. Having a CL15 magic item that gives you negative levels (or just horrifies the townsfolk) is a frustrating tease.

Barring access to a temple with a "Trade your Evil for Good, or GOLD!" policy, it'll just sit in the portable hole, or it'll be tossed into a volcano.

Great for MacGuffins, not so great for treasure.

Congrats on finally seeing it, Nkerklaan. :)

Thanks!

I felt kind of dirty voting for it.

I didn't. Mine was up against an item that didn't even list a price.

Mine was against an item that was probably slightly better, but I didn't want to rob my item of the one vote I could guarantee it.

I still feel bad though.

I think it's fairly forgivable. :P

When I saw mine it was against a weapon that would make for a perfect nemesis to my entry. I’d up-voted the nemesis prior, so I felt no guilt in voting for mine.

Things that turn into trees is another trend, it seems.

Hm, interesting item, what's the other choice? Turns me into a tree? I'd rather not.

(more difficult when it was tree versus tree)

I actually quite like all the tree items for some reason.

Yeah, quite a bit of love for the militant druids. Gotta protect the forests, kids!
