bye bye daemon
I'm noticing a great preponderance of seed and seed-themed items.Maybe lots of people are playing Rune Factory 4 or something.
I'm just so delighted someone else has heard of Rune Factory that I had to comment on this. Also, I just grew my first sword seed, and am growing my fourth dungeon seed! (Hee hee, dungeon seed.)
This has nothing to do with Superstar voting.
Speaking of, I should probably get a hearty breakfast before starting voting. Snowed in from work, may as well vote on some items! (I could do housework, but that would be silly.)

What's up with all of these items whose names are abstract philosophical concepts instead of physical objects? Are this year's designers living in some sort of platonic aether where "aspects" and "rights" and what-not are physical things one can pick up and handle?
Also, oaths/pacts.
How much does an oath weigh?
3d6 for the win.....only because the other item bombed.....

Not snowed in, but I have the day off. I was absolutely going to slack on the housework ... until my husband decided to work from home today. *sob*
Maybe someone has a seed of the helpful maid!

Phoenix this, Phoenix that. Guess people like the Phoenix.What's not to like?
Well, she did kill all the broccoli people...

Finally, my own item. I should be getting pretty close dedicated voter, so it took a while.

I thought that was the Power Puff girls?
BUT WHY WOULD I EVER POSSIBLY USE THAT ITEM, EVER! And gross... is this like a sex thing? It's a sex thing isn't it.... nevermind...

I just voted on an item that does nothing. My gosh, you should have seen the other item.
Lots of 'panic room' type items this year, for when combat isn't going so well.
So many repeats and still haven't seen mine. I have had the pleasure of voting for my favorite about 5 times though.
'Meh' vs 'EWWWWW'.
Bible fanfic--only to Calistra. Too bad it's cursed.
...
......
!
Why would you do that?
</Catbug>
Trying to guess the few that will absolutely make it in. Have two so far.
I've got seven on the list of 'love to see in the top 32'.
I should start a list now that I have seen some I really like.
Well, not only was that a choice between SIAC and WTF?, but also a hilarious combination of both names that made a little sense somewhere, if you dare going that far. Ugh.
I include items that may not be letter-perfect but are interesting enough that I want to see more from the author.

And there was the 1,800,000 gp item
You missed the extra 50,000. That's important, otherwise it'd be undercosted.
And another emo item.
Larger list of concepts I like. But the execution is off on a lot of them. Too many feel themed for a particular character. I've allowed myself to get a little too excited over some titles too.
Note to designers everywhere: nauseated is not cool.
Nor is anything involving slime.

But who wouldn't be excited about such titles as:
Robes of disembowelment
Gorget of ichor animation
Lenses of slimy mutilated body parts
Why would I want a magic <CENSORED> that costs <CENSORED> and does so little? I'd rather have an supply of mundane ones so I can set them on fire and use them as an improvised weapon.
Not keen on the number of items that require other magic items to function.
Am keen on some of the actually good consumables that are appearing.
Also, I've seen the same great little item about 4 times now, which makes an exciting change from seeing the same shoddy ones over and over

I have a "Keep list" as well.
Last year it was fun to notice that the majority of the 17 items on my list actually made the top 32.

Finally saw my item. Found some format problems ... and still couldn't justify voting against my item.
Quick runner's shirt reworked as more expensive boots? Check.
OK, I surrender to the pressure. I give back my crown.
I am no longer the "King of Bad Names".
Dear lordy!
Hm, a vomit item vs a bold-tag title item that lets you cheat item creation rules.
Ah, an item that operates only at the GM's discretion. The storyteller in me says "Yay!", the designer and GM in me says, "Next!"
Make that 6 crowns and counting.

Mike, Jacob cleared up Greater Medium Eye:
That's the terminology used in the tables in Ultimate Equipment. Took me a while to figure that one out too.Greater Medium Eye
????? what is up with that kind of description / slot ?????
Ran into Dr. Who item.
Haven't run in barf yet, or my own.
It will come. Just give it time.
Oooh... "Sneak attack always" That's a new one for me.

Yeah, I've run across three of those so far. I'm trying to figure out what system/game uses these slots.Greater Medium Eye

I should have kept reading the thread to get my answer...
headbanging...... theme song ....... DIE
It's easy to miss stuff in this thread. It tears along at great post velocity.
