Some magic items you are allowed to talk about (for all the aspergilloons out there)

[Eric Morton]

A few days ago, in this year's "So far I've seen" thread, several posters held a discussion about hypothetical, aspergillum-themed weaponry. Inspired by that conversation, I said I should publish a PDF of magic aspergillum weapons and put it up for sale in the Paizo store.

I decided to follow through on that. Enter: Aspergillman's Armory, a PDF with two full pages of new rules for aspergillum-related weaponry.Turn maces and morningstars into aspergilla. Splash your foes with holy water, or skip water and use alchemical splash weapons, instead. And that's before you add magic to your aspergillum to create one of eight new magic weapons.

Aspergillman's Armory has more than enough aspergillum goodness (and evilness) to meet all your aspergillum needs.

[Treyson]

You are a true hero to all us aspergilloons.

[Jacob W. Michaels]

Now that's Superstar, IMO (taking the idea and fleshing it out and converting it into a PDF with such alacrity).

Not only that, but he finished it real fast too!

Kudos, good sir, kudos. Aspergill ad astragill, as they say. (Use your aspergillum to hit the aboleth.)

[Jarrett Sigler]

Eric Morton. I am envious, as well as completely amazed that you managed to get that published and on the Piazo Store so soon!

[Constantine]

I still like aspergilligoons better... :-)

[Jeff Lee]

Aspergilligans?

Don't those appear in Souls for Smuggler's Shiv when

Spoiler:

the PCs wake up on the beach of an isolated island after a 3 hour tour gone horribly wrong...?

Well, it helps that I have some experience publishing serious products in the Paizo store. If I couldn't also crank out a short, silly PDF on a week's notice, I wouldn't be much of a publisher.

Now, if I actually sell a copy of Aspergillman's Armory, I may have to admit I actually accomplished something... (Seriously, though, I've played characters who'd want to use some of the magic weapons in that PDF, and I'd let players in games I run use them, too. I tried to design some solid, useful material in that PDF, even if the title was somewhat silly.)

[Snorter]

Well done!

Now give us twenty variants on the Bohemian Ear-Spoon.

[UllarWarlord]

Just bought the volume - well worth the two bucks, I'd say!

I'm especially a fan of the Thirsting Mace. Pricey, but could be worth it in the right campaign...

I think you sold one.

At least two then, and I agree; it is definitely worth the two bucks.

[Eric Morton]

The verdict is in: Aspergillman's Armory is definitely worth two bucks.

In fact, it's my top-selling product in the Paizo store so far this week. :D

[Curaigh]

Well done Eric, well done :)

[Eric Morton]

I would like to thank everyone who has shown their support for this quirky, little product. The raw sales numbers probably won't justify the time I spent putting this PDF together, but the quirk in store traffic that turned an aspergillum-themed product into my top-seller for the week provided me with more than enough amusement to justify my efforts. :)

And now I really want to make the Top 32 this year because I want to see how that affects my sales numbers. Will this PDF vanish off everyone's radar as folks turn their attention to the Top 32 maps, or will an appearance in the Top 32 inspire enough curiosity about this PDF to produce a second spike in sales, making this PDF my top-seller for a second straight week? No contestant has ever published a PDF inspired by a voter rant thread before, so there's no way to know unless I make the Top 32. *equips aspergillum* *crosses fingers*

[Anthony Adam]

I'm sure you can design an elven city map with trees, bushes, tree houses, paddocks and streams that when observed from a bird's eye view, the whole layout would look like an aspergillum in full bloom. :P

[Jarrett Sigler]

Alternitively, He could design a temple, that trains folks in the ultimate wieliding of Aspergillum... One that always spells of holy oils and sacred rites.

Perhaps, Asperillum scent puzzles anyone?

[Eric Morton]

Perhaps I should map an entire island made of frozen holy water. I could call it... Icebergillum.

[Anthony Adam]

I see an old school judges guild style map book being suggested here now >.<

Actually, these are rather clever cleric fetishes! ;)
