If you'd made the charges per day *total* instead of per ability, that item would actually have been affordable.
All I know, is after reading a few of these - I felt a lot better about my item.
Then I read more and realized I fell into an exposition trap.
Wish I'd heard about the contest earlier so I could have read up on advice from past participants and fixed it. Nuts.

This alignment requirement is unnecessary and needlessly prevents some interesting roleplaying options. Why?

Bear in mind that tags like [b] don't actually add to the wordcount. "All formatting" included cost, slot, construction, etc. It was all description. I reported one like that...

These two items have a combined 65 characters in their item names. Impressive.

That is the single most hilarious construction requirement I have ever seen.

I always downvote any item that tries to make swarms a not-pain in the ass. HERESY

I didn't think those words could be used together.
And actually, I rather like you. If you'd had one good workshopping pass, you'd be a very interesting item.

I knew you were a joke item...I just thought the punchline was going to involve Team Fortress.
Item that helps user be evil vs. item that does evil on its own... :(

Item clearly written by someone who loves math and doesn't understand game balance. :(

Moaning vs. vibrating......and I am done.
Kurzak, if that's an actual item description, you're gonna need to remove it. As I have just been reminded, you can't directly discuss entries, even for educational purposes. :P
But welcome to the forums!

We understand that the "snark" thread has been a longstanding thing that crops up with every year of RPG Superstar. However, we want to remind everyone in this thread that the items you're voting on generally aren't done by people who have experienced public criticism on their design work and some comments we've seen have gotten fairly mean. We ask that you refrain from specific details about the items you're voting on, because it's a great way to make a participant feel isolated from the community and discouraged from continuing to participate in the future. We welcome gamers from all walks of live and skill level, so be cool to each other, and remember that the snark thread is intended to be light-hearted. If it becomes a continuous issue in this thread, we'll close down the discussion.
I apologize, Chris—I only intended to clarify something that was icking people out a bit. I actually saw it as a bit of a service to the item (though perhaps too much of one). My bad.
Nope. Totally made up. Just referring to the manner of oh, this is cool and impossible, and cheap.
Oh, gotcha. Sorry I got your first second post deleted. ;D
No worries. Just being snarky.

I'm quite a few votes in, and I finally encountered an obvious intentional joke item. Here I was wondering if you were all joking about joke items (joking!).
Ugh.
Bear theme defeats Lion theme this time!

How do you cost less than a +1 weapon, how?
There is an item in the list that has a name that makes me think it may be similar to mine. I haven't seen it yet. I've seen mine twice. That makes me worried that it has already been upvoted way above mine.
Of course, it may be something entirely different from mine. Only time will tell...

Some of these items make me want to gouge out my own eyes, because that is a necessity to unleash their true power!
Tech vs vermin
Disguised tech shall die.
I didn't like upvoting this item because it's another "I don't like this aspect of the game" item, but the opposition was crap.
I saw this in a comic book and it was soooo cool.
Just read an item that wanted to replace exploration.
I swear I think I've seen this in a MOBA before
Really awesome and cool item which was cursed. However, it could be a textbook example of what cursed items should be.

Who run Bartertown? Master Blaster runs Bartertown.
It reminded me of an item in Minecraft, but better.
The GM in me is horrified. Utterly horrified.
I really liked this item, until that last part at the end where it ladles a huge helping of metagaming onto an otherwise perfectly good magic item.

Oh, geez, it's this garbage entry again. It's like a monkey designed it. A monkey that gouged out its brain for a wondrous item that gave a +5 to Profession checks. What a pathetic...
Oh, wait. That's mine. Yeesh, I keep running into this one. This is, what, the fifth time today?
Look, I'm sorry, I super dig the flavour of the item, but it's clearly meant to be an artifact?
Someones Apologize to thread is going to get MUCH bigger...also a preemptive I am sorry for everything I have said and will say in the snark thread. ;)

Plot item! And... not even a subtle plot item... like... item has no use except in relation to plot, because it offers no mechanical benefits at all... >.>
And up against it... oh. Oh wow. I wish this item were matched up against a better item, so that I felt like the upvote were more meaningful. Congratulations, Mystery Designer, my next skald is going to be a swordsman...
