Correct me if I am wrong, but -- if it is specified as made of a special material, shouldn't the cost of that material be included in the creation costs? I realize it might depend on the material but I'm not sure...

Presumably, if the item's cost is much greater than the material's cost, the material's cost is included in the item's cost (in the same way the cost of masterwork armor is included in the cost of adamantine armor). After all, part of the item's cost has to go towards the actual materials used to craft the item.

Of course, all that being said, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the special materials cost is not the only problem with the item in question...

I have yet to see a 250+ word entry that was at all interesting.

I know such a thing must exist...

I've seen a few, even if often simplest is best.

A nap-making item. Just in case slumber hexing hasn't yet invaded YOUR game too.

Still seeing new ones pop up occasionally, but not as frequently as I was. Reaching a saturation point, possibly.

Yet still no Dedicated Voter title. ;_;

You have to push through that, through the pain and mind numbing, soul killing monotony to achieve glory!

;)

A lot of the 250+ word items are cool, but probably could have been edited to fewer words.

Currently holding at 555 individual items seen. How curious.

@Feros: You specifically take off work and dedicate your days to voting, don't you?

Marathon Voter Season 7

That item combined three memes, maybe even more. I hope it was worth it.

No, no, no, no, no. No, no.

See you just did it!

YES! YES! YES!

Also, the last item I just voted for is awesome in the scene from Iron Man was awesome, when he repulses himself into the ceiling.

I'm starting to feel shadow conjuration is the short-cut for magic items.

And I just saw remixes of Pearls of Power and Necklace of Fireballs.


Oooo, two items with overly complicated titles against each other! My head is going to explode. (All this, and I did the same thing last year myself!)

LOL. One of the reasons I would like to win this competition is the massive amount of downtime I have in the winter. Being able to freelance would fill up my days with actually something to do. I'm on medical leave right now, but every year from November to March I'm part-time casual at work due to the seasonal nature of my job.

We're looking at ways to expand my winter time activity, but for the foreseeable future I go a bit stir crazy in the winter months. This is a wonderful diversion! :)

Marathon Voter Season 6, Marathon Voter Season 7, Marathon Voter Season 8, Star Voter Season 9

Every third item is a cooking item. Bistros have officially replaced taverns as the Official Adventure Start Location.

Marathon Voter Season 6, Marathon Voter Season 7

Super cheap way to get immunity to some nasty spells.


@Feros: Ouch. Well, hopefully you won't want to pluck various internal organs out and throw them in the garbage disposal in your sink after this!


Oh, look! Finally saw an item that was the same type as mine. (I.e. Arband/bracers, Torc/Choker, Cloak/Mantle not that either of those are it, just examples)

Using levels as a timing device...

Just no.

I have the exact opposite problem. I wouldn't mind participating in RPGSS, but I work in accounting, January is chock full of overtime due to year-end bookkeeping and taxes. So even if I managed to get in, work wouldn't allow me to dedicate enough time to the contest to properly give a submission past Round One the attention it would deserve.


Yay. Rhymes.

Amphibians for the win!

Oh my gosh, it's 50 words vs 52 words!

Brevity is the soul of voting.

Why take off work? If he's like me, this is the only thing keeping him going through the mind-numbing monotony of the day. :p

Haven't seen that one yet. I eagerly await doing so!

X of Y versus Z of Y, with Y being the same word.


@Cthulhudrew: If only my job was like that ... I'm in retail.

So...your item does...nothing at all magical except for what strikes me as entirely flavor text? And I get to shell out tens of thousands of gold for it? Hang on, I'll write you a check.

I have now seen seven items with "Blood" somewhere in the title.


Wow. 2 items together of 100 words or less.

Marathon Voter Season 6, Marathon Voter Season 7

Unassuming X vs Filigree Y! FIGHT!

EDIT: OH, you're a cursed item, AND a potion to boot, nevermind.

The Exchange Owner - D20 Hobbies , Marathon Voter Season 7, Marathon Voter Season 8

101 words vs 101 words with near identical formatting!

Dedicated Voter Season 6, Star Voter Season 7

Another with lots of really cool flavor and abilities that I do NOT want in my game as GM. Too much damned work. Plus I can see lots of arguments arising from it.

Oooh, that's a very wibbly, wobbly, spacey, wacey item!

And that one is a portable Bifrost generator.

No, I don't want to know what happens when I eat your item.

Crowdsourcing.

True. Especially if one needs a visual palate cleanser ... Mmm... Thor....

Like now as I look at these two items. *shudder*

Marathon Voter Season 6, Marathon Voter Season 7, Marathon Voter Season 8, Marathon Voter Season 9

Finally found an item I would rather hit the neither button than vote for.

Luckily it has been paired against items that even if poor I would rather vote for over it to this point.

I've done both, and I'm not really sure the alternative is any better. :(

Marathon Voter Season 6, Marathon Voter Season 7, Marathon Voter Season 8, Marathon Voter Season 9

Yeah Dedicated! Now onward to marathon.

Marathon Voter Season 6, Marathon Voter Season 7

What happens when that happens to the item, out of curiosity? Are they like gremlins? Do I have to not feed it after midnight, either?

Star Voter Season 6, Marathon Voter Season 7, Marathon Voter Season 8, Star Voter Season 9

I seem to be getting one new item and one old item almost every time now. Which is nice, because it gives me something to do during the timer other than switch back here and catch up.

That is ridiculously expensive for an item made out of cantrips.

Some people got dedicated yesterday...

But, yeah I am getting a lot of iterations where I have seen both items.

Actually, you are! Just check your main account; the titles don't display on aliases.

Marathon Voter Season 6, Marathon Voter Season 7

Apology accepted. Still voting you down.
