"gnomish"
You keep using that word...
All gnomes are from Krynn. Didn't you know?
I have been thinking about when is it ok for an item to be a different type over what it normal should be.
Examples:
Ring of Force Shield -- is like a heavy shield but is a ring
bladed belt -- is many masterwork weapons but is a Wondrous Item, though it can be magicked like any other weapon
How much leeway is there?
Can you think of any other magic items like these?

Can't get the links to work from my iPad, but the Handy Haversack, Bag of Holding and Efficient Quiver are all different items, but they've all been done. Maybe the quiver should be a weapon. An armor with pockets should be an armor. If that's what you have, you're not trying hard enough. Sorry.
This item lets you use this other item that is super-cool--except for all these penalties attached to it--without any of the penalties! Sorry, not Superstar. A little too munchkin for me.

I don't know Azouth, I think items like the Glove the probably should be a staff works fine as the occasional wondrous item, and wouldn't be too out of place in a compendium of magic items... but that is not really what this composition is looking for they are looking for superstar items, and the real question is whether items that barrow too heavily from other categories are 'superstar'
At least two items apparently ported from Eberron. One with the exact same name.

So I'm starting to copy every item I see, so I can tell if I'm just voting for the same 100 items in every combination.
Still not seen my item and not yet at 1000 votes, but should be close.
Don't lose heart, I got to around 1150 votes before I saw mine.

Ooo. Just saw the same two items twice in a row (on different sides of the screen).
I knew that such a thing was possible, and that some people had seen it happen, but I never thought I'd see it myself.
I kind of like it when that happens. Makes me feel like the items are jockeying for position. Like I'm a corpulent Roman Emperor, and they are shoving each other around the page for my attention. Yes... yes... vie for my love!
I may possibly have been voting too long.

Had that a few times and no just swapping sides will not make me change my vote and vote for a SAIC

Had it happen twice so far. :)Ooo. Just saw the same two items twice in a row (on different sides of the screen).

Aaaand just had the same pair twice in a row again. WITHOUT switching sides. :O
I'm going to go ahead and suggest that a certain unnamed subset of entrants might should consider therapy.
This particular very small subset of voter is already considering it :)

Worlds most expensive map - except its worse than a map.
Towel, don't leave home without it.
Heh, I like how one item seems beneficial, but in the end is a weaponized "Flowers for Algernon" situation for those affected.

... Rock on, Dude!
Okay that item does exactly nothing apart from cost you gp'sThey already have those, in Las Vegas, don't they?
Those are actually monsters though. Slay enough one-armed bandits and you go up a level.
Two new items. Alas, one was clearly better than the other.
Okay, maybe this is completely unrelated to any item whatsoever, buuuuuuut... hypothetically speaking, can you chase somebody while you are being chased?
I'm just asking. For reasons.
You just got that particular pairing?
EDIT: Gah! Stupid phone!

Elixirs?
They're delivered in the same way as a potion or oil.
They may not be spellinacan items like the other potions/oils, but that shouldn't prevent there being a section for non-standard items in the potions/oils section, just like there is for armor, weapons, etc.

I don't know about that.
But I do know there's very little virtue in being chaste, if you've never been chased.
Duck duck goose, maybe?

Not a particular pairing, just the one item itself. And I've seen it a few times, but hadn't before considered the its use by multiple characters, in concert.
Oh... oh god... what if two people chased each other!?
That's called dating.
What is it with Michael Jackson fashion this year? I like my handwear to come in pairs, please!
Left gets jealous of right all the time as it is!
I think that this year there are much fewer items that are utter trash.
Most items still are simply not very imaginative, some have a very good wording, but not much effect at all, some have an interesting effect but are worded in a bad or confusing way.
Imho I have so far not seen a top100 item.
On a second thought I also wonder how strange my gaming groups must be!
They usually kill monsters and take their stuff. The amount of bread baking, basket weaving, crop and lifestock raising is so non exisatnt that I simply can't appreciate the abundance of magical helpers that I've seen in this competition so far.
I think you should rename this game to Cropfinder or Harvester or something like this ;-)

Haha, finally worked up the nerve to come hang out (for fear of seeing my item surreptitiously poopooed). So much vindication. "Gnomish" my buddies and I have all run into that item and I am so tickled that someone else had the same thought.

Seen an item that grants a one-off effect, of a spell with a 10K gp material cost, and it triggers as a contingency too, but total cost... less than 10K gp.
Even if you're not experienced at item writing, how does that sound right?
Remember, everyone, add your costly materials to the sale price and crafting price after halving the base construction costs, not before.
I think there are fewer entries this year. I'm not seeing as much a variety but I could be wrong, maybe there's some new items to my eyes post cull.
