Relics of War contains 110 all-new playing-card–sized cards featuring artifacts, weapons, armor, and items touched by the struggle of good against evil. Each card features a beautiful full-color illustration of an item on one side, with a text description and room for notes on the opposite side. A GM can hand these out when their PCs get treasure and watch as players learn to love managing their booty. A code on each card helps GMs track which card corresponds to which treasure.
Each Relics of War pack contains:
1 armor (cards 01–14)
2 weapons (15–38)
2 potions (39–56)
1 scroll (62–71)
1 wand (78–87)
2 wondrous items (88–110)
1 ring (57–61) or 1 rod or staff (72–77)
1 foil card, which may be any card from the set.
Display boxes contain 12 booster packs.
Complete sets include a complete set of the foils along with a complete set of the non-foil cards. In addition, there are duplicates of some of the non-foil cards.
Useable by experienced GMs and novices alike, this product fits perfectly into any Game Master's arsenal.
I was tired of yelling at my players that what they got is what they got, now, I can prove myself with these cards. Many DMs should consider this their undeniable proof of what the player has. The images are well drawn with a general description of the item. If you buy these cards, you wont regret it.
I have to say that the distribution was greatly improved over Item Pack #2: Hero's Hoard. I only bought one display box, and was only 12 cards away from completing a set. (Compared to over 20 for HH). After one single trade with someone on the forums, I'm now only needing 2 cards to have a complete set.
The cards themselves are excellent. The only issue might be that some of the items are pretty out there. So you have have less of the "standard" items found in RPGs, and have things like the Shrunken Head and Withered Hand.
My group used to use printed out index cards, and I must say that these are a big step up from that.
I love these things and can't get enough of them. My only problem is I have so many potions. Also, maybe two rapiers instead of three longswords might be a good idea. I love the cards, the art, the whole idea. Juat maybe add more variety of items in the packs and less scrolls and potions.
I've been using Item cards in my game for the last three months, and the players and I really enjoy them. This set has several strong positives. There are no repeats from Item Pack 1 or Hero's Hoard. The Wondrous Items fill in a lot of holes from the SRD (how I needed those pearls). The Withered Hand will also be perfect for DMs running the Age of Worms campaign. The visuals and quality are excellent (as they have been all along).
My only concern is the distribution. I opened 10 display boxes (1200 cards) and found only 2 Platemails and 2 Shortbows. I am not a statistics expert, but that surprised me. Thankfully, there are now people trading and selling cards in the forum (including me) for those who wish to complete sets.
Another nice collection. The artwork is great and the cards are a lot of fun at the gaming table. My players really look forward to what they'll "see" when they search for loot. As with Item Pack 2, I bought a box of boosters, but unfortunately, am missing about 9 cards from the set. I got several repeats of items that I don't think I'll be using very often. I was also not too happy to get two of the same card in the same booster pack.
After getting 8 display boxes I am still a tad short on a complete set.
So was hoping to be able to trade or set up a way to trade with others that might be in the same boat.
Plus I have somthing like 88 of the foil cards that I am willing to trade away or sell.
If interested post here or email me. thenorthman <at> mac <dot> com
I am two cards away from having a complete set in this one. If it were not for those two cards and if I had three copies of each of those cars I would have three complete sets.

Check out this thread - it's where most trades seem to happen. And, yes, there is still plenty of trading going on.
