A lot of gnomish items this year. If only they were gnomish torcs, I think we'd have our meme.

Hey, it's my item! So much faster than last year, too.
Ran across one that had a similar theme to mine...
This one is clearly inspired by a certain class ability that seems to touch a lot of nerves.

I really need to stop voting and start catching up on work.
But what I really want is a "Both items are worse than anything in the Core Rulebook" button instead of the "Both items are equally good/bad" one.

Ok, if your whole entry makes sense in a NSFW kind of way when approached with quirky humor, something is off. Or maybe I am just getting weird.
I've only seen really bad items so far; way too many spells in a can, feat in a can, class ability in a can, feat in a can, or some really weird templates!, I even saw a "hello, ...." message before the item description, and a "use x spell y times per day" item.
On the bright side, I haven't chanced upon any item I've already seen, but, What is going on with the items this year ?. Am I just this unlucky? or is it like that for everybody?

More than a few shawls. Understandable, cause everyone know shawls are awesome.
Huh. I don't like pushing the "tie" button. But right now I have a choice between "same item as the iconic, core Pathfinder/3.5/3rd ed/2nd ed/AD&D item", and "it's a weapon...with weapon stats".
What's a lich to do?
Cursed item vs super boring item

Actually, when I first started out, most of the items I was seeing were pretty decent.
I've seen 151 unique items now. And I'm only in love with maybe a couple of them. (Not counting my "love" for certain silly items.)
I saw my own item after 138 other unique items. Way sooner than last year...yay!
This year I'm keeping a list of every item I see, and assigning it a score from 1 to 7. So far the scores are:
7 = 0 items
6 = 15 items
5 = 28 items
4 = 59 items
3 = 28 items
2 = 19 items
1 = 2 items
More updates later, perhaps.

I knew these two items would be paired up eventually, forcing me to actually vote for one of them. I just knew it! >_<

Ironic misspelling in a PRD link for an item.

Oh that is a full on Have No Mouth And I Must Scream item.
And the duration is cumulative? Oh jeez.

But one great lesson for new entrants reading this thread in horror: use these criticisms to entertain yourself, and then learn from them. "Big things come from small beginnings."
While I've seen comments that might apply to my item, as first time entrant this thread hasn't been too horrific. Fortunately I've seen enough items voting to know that, at least, mine isn't the worst (unless it is, and I can't see it). Great learning experience just entering and seeing what stands out (good and bad).

There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found,for when they placed it on his head, he began to dance around!
Also, my general advice to people doing items that involve time: stop, just stop. All you're doing is making an item that GMs take one look at and say "Nope. Not gonna happen. That's a major headache waiting to happen. Don't ask again. I'll kill your character. You know I will."

"Barbarian Bob's Boonful Item" again. :(
(I am changing the name to protect the innocent[?])
Oh hey, found the/a Christmas item.
Crap, there sure are a lot of items to replace that party rogue.
Oh, and there's the apologetic one that some folks have mentioned.

You should be more precise in your advice, because with advice like that people are submitting items that stop time.

Attune! Attune!
Ever notice that when you see a word repeated often enough it begins to lose all meaning?

Hey, at least it's something Bob can use... all I ever see is Roger Rogue's Replacement Rig, as in Roger can go on holiday because he isn't needed anymore.

Item is 300 words exactly, and so complex I couldn't be bothered to read it completely, but still voted for it because the other item was so utterly boring.

I'm curious if the various "rage like a barbarian" items would stack?
Look, I don't care how easy your item makes camping; if purchasing your item would take up the ENTIRE WBL of an 11th level character, it's not worth it!
Oh dear, you accidentally put a "9" in front of your price making it A LOT more expensive than you intended. And you forgot to say what kind of recharge/use limit your item has. And things are not "slot less".
class feature ignoring vs. camping

it is "Slot none" ... not "Slot -" ... not "Slot slotless" ... not "Slot " ...
EDIT: ninja'd by mamaursula by 38 seconds ... <shakes fist>
Name made me think of a science project, word count confirmed fears. Did not thoroughly read.
