I could buy your item, or I could buy more wands of the spell you used than I could ever use. Hmm...

*Not that I thought I would get DQed. But you know - paranoia.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Or so I repeat to myself, still having not seen my own item. :/

Thanks I'm sure it was mine, never looked at the name that way.

Hey, I like the item and have upvoted it several times. All in good fun, man.

Hmmm...a Sandman reference?

Blind but not blind, or borderline cursed item?

Silver Crusade Dedicated Voter Season 7

Another "you can't really die" item...

**sigh**

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

you know I am pretty sure that I have seen more items that either kill you or make it much more likley that you'll die if you use the item than I have seen that bring you back in the event of your death while using it... its pretty close, but I think the deadly items have them by about 20%

Silver Crusade Dedicated Voter Season 7

How many feet are in a metre?

Oh never mind...

RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32 , Marathon Voter Season 6, Marathon Voter Season 7, Champion Voter Season 8, Marathon Voter Season 9 aka GM_Solspiral

looks like a reworked version of my item from last year if I took all the feedback... not sure how I feel about that but its a good item

As I said in another thread, there is definitely some schizoid stuff going on here...

I'd be interested in hearing comments on the immortality thread.

Not sure if I linked that properly. Apologies if it doesn't work.

No wands allowed as a wondrous item submission, huh?

I shall flaunt your directives and hope you won't notice that the word "wand" is used 8 times in the description.

Silver Crusade Dedicated Voter Season 7

I just voted for a decoration...! I think I did the right thing...

You're an item that should exist in some form. You're also an item that probably shouldn't have been entered.

So just saw an item that rang a bell. Double checked my notes, wasn't among the items I'd already seen this year. Then, with an increasing sense of certainty, looked at my compilation of last year's entries. And it's the exact same item I saw a couple times and downvoted repeatedly last year! And lest we think this is merely another glitch in the system, one word of the item's name changed. (Which seems to represent the grand total of editing/alterations performed.)
:::slow clap::: Well done, item creator. Your creativity and sense of innovation SHINES like a beacon for us all.

Can you PM me the new name I think it might be the one that's riffed off of mine from last year. Just curious my new item isn't even similar.

Please make an attempt to know the rules you are interacting with. Formatting Damage Reduction is not that hard.

Hi veil. Again. I'm voting you every time.

Nope, this isn't your stone from last year. I'm pretty certain this isn't a riff of any kind, because honestly, I can't see anyone stealing an idea this subpar and not changing it up. This is almost certainly the same contestant re-entering the same item.

Finally.... found my own item. And I'm still confident it's a creative, flavorful item.

Its opponent is one of those spell-storing items. Not a badly-written item, but it doesn't do anything its component spells or existing spell-storing items cannot do, and it has some formatting errors, so this is going to be easy. :)

No complaints, glad someone has seen it and liked it. I honestly never looked at the name that way.

So for 40,000gp I get a little bonus and the GM gets to punch me in the groin at some point when I lest expect it, sounds like a bargain.

I'm seeing a lot of this "cursed" item hate (cursed in this context apparently meaning an item that has drawbacks) and I never noticed it in the past. The statement above goes so far as to make it seem like the two things mentioned are equal infractions, which is weird to me because one of them (blind but not blind) is explicitly in Sean's list of don'ts and the other one (cursed) isn't in that list at all. What gives? Did I miss a memo? And if people are going to be auto rejecting over that, can it please be added to Sean's list?

Honestly, the second one seemed like it's drawback was very nearly as bad as it's benefit was good, for absolutely no reason.

I'm so glad it will not distract me! down vote

Kick the can... But don't touch it... You'll be sorry...

Shadow Lodge Star Voter Season 6, Star Voter Season 7, Star Voter Season 9

I saw an item that is clearily based on a tv series, autorejected.
But then again I was amazed that I saw that kind of item for the first time since that TV series is basically "Wondrous Items: the series"

I wonder if there is any wondrous bus ticket that teleports you to gallup

I get that, and clearly that's bad. But making it into a semi-meme format like "blind but not blind vs cursed" makes it seem like that's one of the auto reject rules, and may well influence people in that direction. I just think either it should be legit to have drawbacks or it shouldn't be. And if it's legit then we should only be calling items out for having them for no thematic reason, or for the drawbacks being too drastic. Not for having drawbacks at all. But if we're just going to start throwing "cursed vs. X" around, then we've all but made it a rule that items can't come with drawbacks if they want to have any hope of winning.

To me that would be a shame, because I happen to like the idea of "pay a price" items, as long as they are thematically appropriate and balanced.

So, a few more items hit the keep pile for today, definitely moving slower this year, but more distractions at home too.

I keep seeing the same 3-5 items over and over and over and over . . . . Yeah. Last vote was two of the items that keep recurring. Now I am just not voting on items I have already seen.

Shadow Lodge Star Voter Season 6, Dedicated Voter Season 7, Star Voter Season 9

Tired.


AGGGHhhhh!!
Still haven't come accros my item!

2 Days of constant voting!!!

NADA.

Careful not to defend your own item if that's what you're doing. If it's the one I'm thinking of I actually think it deserves to be in the keep folder. It has some conventions that will play poorly with voters but it is a solid item with real creativity.


Playin' with fire!

A full 27% of the word count for this item is used in the Price & Cost headings. That counts as over 60 words folks!!

This deserves some sort of prize (non-monetary, of course)!

I was pretty certain myself that I saw an item from last year early on in the voting. Didn't bother to go back and check.
