Is there a list to itemize which item cards were intended for use with which treasure in Second Darkness?
I'm currently running SD, but we are still in adventure 1, and while I've skimmed through the upcoming books, I haven't read all the treasure from each one yet. I'd hate to to give out a crossbow card in adventure 1, only to realize that there is a really cool crossbow in adventure 5 that was waiting for my PCs that the art was intended for!
Thanks for the help!

I have been using the "generic" item cards for several years... Second Darkness was the first time i had an opportunity to use the custom set to go with the adventures. I was very surprised (just like you) that there was no key to tell you which items go where in the campaign... I posted a similar concern in the product discussion.
I have been watching this thread with interest to see if any of the Paizonians would come to your rescue... hopefully now that they are getting back from GenCon.

The cards are thematically linked, but they don't really map 1:1 heck even the iconic key hand art in the first module does match the key hand art on the cards.
Like really, in the whole AP there is only one guy walking around with a key for a hand... why don't they match?
I assume the answer is the projects went out to the artists at the same time, and one said "Draw a guy with a key hand" and the other said "draw a key hand" and they both did there thing.
Anyways the point is they are thematically similar, but don't particularly match.
I'm really hoping that there's a key somewhere. Even a good fan-made one. Simply because I don't want to give out an item card when I think it matches, only to find out an item is described later on that it would have matched better.
While I realize not every item (especially potions!) can be item-carded, having a list of what goes where in the Second Darkness Item Card Set would give me a lot of flexibility to add other item cards where the set is lacking.
While the art doesn't match perfectly (Saul's key, for example) it's at least recognizable-- but all the other keys could be any of the many keys in the AP.
Here's hoping someone has an answer. :)
Silly me, due to my Gen Con experience with item cards, I thought this thread was going to be about meeting cute girls. :p
