Favorite Five From The Top Thirty-Two

[R D Ramsey]

As is traditional, my personal fav 5 from the top 32.

In alphabetical order:

Many Layered Veil
Map Of Refuge
Sash Of The Salty Seas
Spell-Winding Timepiece
Wintertide Candle

[Aeris Fallstar]

The Skipping Stone
Spectral Lampblack
Seer's Soap
Cobra-hood Cloak
Wintertide Candle

I will always tend toward the simple, elegant or sometimes even whimsical ( for to me, that is Wondrous) rather than those geared more toward power-gaming.

The only one of those I didn't consistently vote for is Spectral Lampblack. And that only because I never saw it during the voting process ( the only one of the Top 32 I didn't see).

[Gerald]

My favorite three were the Skipping Stone, the Cobra Hood Cloak, and the Spell Winding Timepiece.

[Jacob W. Michaels]

Hmmm. Eight of the top 32 were on my keeper list, I think, so I guess I need to figure out what the top 5 are. In no particular order:

Cloudwrangler's Gloves
Icon of Aspects
Thorn Creeper Sandals
Gorget of Living Whispers
Many-Layered Veil

[Aeris Fallstar]

And now I see that the creator of Spectral Lampblack is very local to me, so now I really, really have to pull for a local guy!

Much love for:
Quick-sand cloak- seriously jealous of how groovy that is.

Cobra Hooded Cloak- props, nice flavor and like the drawback

Map of Refuge- only saw it once during voting thought wow that's some serious cool.

Quiver of spiderkind- voted for this like 5 times loved it everytime, want it for my archer

Gorum's Stompers- damage is a little high IMHO but I love the concept, would love to see a BBE use these on a party.

Those are my favorite 5 from the top 32...

[Garrett Guillotte]

Spell-Winding Timepiece
Cloudwrangler's Gloves
Quicksand Cloak
Cobra-Hood Cloak
Whispering Gloves

[Sean McGowan]

In order that they appear on my personal top 32 list:

Gorum's Stompers
Cloudwrangler's Gloves
Many-layered Veil
Verdant Crown of Oak and Iron
Quicksand Cloak

and since only six of my top 32 made the actual top 32, I'll cheat and give an honorable mention to the gloves of the frugal healer.

[Herremann the Wise]

My initial top 6 from the judges top 32 (not in any order):

Icon of Aspects
Many-Layered Veil
Spell-Winding Timepiece
Gorum's Stompers
Verdant Crown of Oak and Iron (Best name - great stuff)
Reins of the Unstoppable Stride

This may change when I go through all the items but that's what coincides with my keep list.

Best Regards

Cloudwrangler's Gloves

Cobra Hood Cloak

[Jacob Kellogg]

I'm not sure what my top 5 are, partly because a startling number of the Top 32 were items I never saw during voting, so I'm still digesting.

I will say, however, that the seer's soap made me excited and happy when I saw it on the list.

Well, I know at least 1 of your top 5, right? RIGHT?!

[Curaigh]

I am slow reader...

Quicksand Cloak
Quiver of Spiderkind
Many Layered Veil
Sash of the Salty Seas
Verdant Crown of Oak and Iron

Several of my keep pile ended in the top 32, I think I had 8 tied for fifth slot. This was the best set of 32 I've seen. Congratulations to all of you.

[Paul Brown]

Not counting my friend's quicksand cloak...

Gorget of Living Whispers
Swarm Slurper
Cloudwranger's Gloves
Gorum's Stompers
Quiver of Spiderkind

[Andrew Black]

I am pretty sure I saw all of the top 32 at least once during the voting phase, and voted each of them up at least once.
I can't pick just 5, so here are....

First, a belated (but no less deserved) congratulations to the entire top 32!

My personal favorites this time around were:

Quicksand Cloak (seriously seriously awesome)

Cloudwrangler's Gloves (core idea is awesome, too limited?)

Shattered Mirror of the Insect Queen (very creative and cinematic - and hey, it looked great in army of darkness)

Verdant Crown of Oak and Iron (very cool, tight item)

Many-Layered Veil (illusions need more love, and this is a cool way to mess with someone)

[Tiercis]

Goblet of the Elements
Spell-Winding Timepiece
Skipping Stone
Map of Refuge
Wintertide Candle
