Finally encountered something so good I want to show it to a party member and expect he would want it despite having an already extensive loadout of that item type, that I could run it by the party to fund and expect them to approve it despite it eating a notable chunk of our available budget, and that I could run by the DM and expect him to approve its purchase or creation despite being homebrew because it won't break any encounters.
If it doesn't get into the top 32 I will start a riot.

I'm really tired of calculating how much these weapons/armors cost without their additional abilities to make sure that the item is at least more expensive than that, and what the price difference is.
This is especially true when for some reasons someone just flavor texted an existing combination of stuff and didn't add new abilities.
Sigh.
(I'm also afraid that my item got ditched for some reason, since I've voted for a lot of these and haven't stumbled across it yet. Are they blocked from you being able to vote on them?)
Nope, I've been able to vote for mine both years now. Get up to Marathon voter status, and you'll likely see it! ;)

You included the Copyright Notice? For more than one Pathfinder book? And it took up more words than your actual item?
Getting too specific Mystic, only one item I can see did this.

I was expecting more items dealing with Advanced Class Guide classes. I mean, they're there, that's for sure. I just thought there would be more of them.
I'm rather disappointed with the items that seem to specifically forget the ACG classes while fitting them perfectly. Items that call out alchemists and forget investigators, items that talk about inquisitors and clerics, but forget warpriests... etc. Often it's enough for me to not vote for them.

It's the weirdest of the trends to me. I can totally see a bunch of people independently hitting on wind-based items, or leaf-based items, but marriage?
That said, I actually liked most of them.
I remember a few last year but with rings it opens up a whole new world!

I actually jumped over to this forum to take a break from voting--great comments all around.
I made Dedicated Voter in a day and a half. After seeing a couple of hundred pairs and starting to see duplicates it just comes down to the timer. Maybe once a voter hits Dedicated or maybe Marathon, the timer can be cut down to 30 seconds?
As far as the items, I just have to give credit to everyone who entered, because good, bad or ugly most the entries spark my own imagination--my notebook is filling up fast!

I hate both of these, and they have the kind of grammar mistakes that make me to want to murder clients.
Luckily, one has a tiny formatting error that I can use to justify a downvote.
Bleh.
[e] Maybe next year, if I'm feeling magnanimous, I'll offer free copy editing services to entrants, because some of these are just inexcusable.
[e2] arrgh cool abilities but please, please use Spell Check before submitting. You're lucky you were up against a dumb joke item.

Items should not break the fourth wall and talk to me...
That's funny you should say that. While it may not have been a serious thought, one of the ideas I toyed with today was a Ring of the Fourth Wall...
Ring of the Fourth Wall
Description
...Fluff text...
From time to time the wearer hears a voice in his head that is no more than a single word. Words like "run", "left", "trapped", "liar", "rot-grubs" and the like are often mysterious and disturbing to the wearer but more times than not are insightful and eventually prove to be prophetic.
This ring provides a +4 bonus to initiative and once per day, the player of the PC wearing the ring can say one word that is mentally heard by the PC. The wearer has no control over this power and the wearer is not compelled to act on the word.

Hmm, someone's embedded hyperlinks to all the relevant spells.
That's actually helpful, I wish more did that.I don't know if that eats up any of their wordcount or not. I hope not.
I did that last year, no it doesn't as the hyperlinks are all in brackets. No one seemed overly impressed by it tho as my item was a flop.

Shields were the real hardmode category. I think it's harder to come up with non-obvious ideas for shields than anything else.
I haven't really seen that many armors in general that I really liked, to be honest.
I guess it's hard to make armor that actually does something and still have it seem like armor.
