3 people marked this as a favorite.

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! ;)

"It's"? No. "Its." It's "its", not "it's."

Bold text vs. description-only.

You know, I'm not afraid to admit I've combed this entire thread for even the slightest, vaguest mention of my item. Every time I see a mention of my item it its category in a positive light I desperately hope it's mine.

I need positive reinforcement!

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.

There it is, the longest item name ever.

I guess this designer looked at the list of special abilities for magic weapons and said, "I'll take it!"


Staff that does magic stuff* isn't exactly a Superstar name.

*Not actually the name of an item in the contest.

Oh man. That's an AWESOME staff. And it'd also be directly opposed to a rod I saw earlier. NEAT.

That armor name sounds like a new slang for lady parts

Two items with the exact same name were paired. Fortunatly, only one of them is a valid magical item.

Very interesting visual for a very boring power.

Wow, two items for people who really hate plants. Huh.

*e* Somebody else REALLY likes Hawkeye.

For us first timer's, is there a place where the common acronyns are listed?

I didn't see it in the FAQs.

SIAC = Spell in a Can

SAK = Swiss Army Knife

Those were the two that confused me at first, hope this helps.

Why isn't that just the item it turns into.

It could have been just the item it turns into but you started it as this other thing!

Yep.

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!

Sigh. Your overly specific backstory and history for the item is awkward enough, but when that backstory specifically contradicts the way [redacted] works in Golarion? No, dude, no.

Ah, an item I had consistently downvoted against one that doesn't have construction requirements. Sorry, item without construction requirements, but I can't vote for you even now.

Dedicated Voter Season 8, Star Voter Season 9

A few items I couldn't be paid to use, regardless of what I'm playing. I wouldn't even inflict it on a villain as the GM. A few in the "when you've completely lost the campaign, this neat thing happens for a sec. Cost: All the gold ever mined.” theme.


All right! More dwarf love.

Just found an item that no-one would ever use. I mean no-one.

Again I say, Ia!


Really cool item. Way overpriced. Still, cool.

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!

[e] ugh I'm a professional copy editor. Literally, that is my job, I copy edit things freelance. I'm now angry that I recently gave up drinking because good grief.

I'm being reminded of so many wonderful movies or cartoons. I'm all for recycling, but...

Star Voter Season 8 aka TealDeer

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.

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.

Wow, never thought to do that...I guess it would just be easier to write under requirements, "All appropriate construction feats and spells." Done.

Pretty sure we're thinking of the same item, Jeffrey. Unless there's more than one that pulled this trick.

Annnnd I'm too tired to continue staring at text.

I've actually seen some fairly neat things, including a couple that were like, dang, yo.

Alright, time to do more voting while desperately attempting to cobble together some kind of plan for tomorrow's Planescape session.

Saw a really cool sickle just now.

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.
