Snark Powers activate

Admiral Ackbar's favorite

[Alanya]

Don't tell me how you think my monsters should react to your item. Just focus on creating a good item.

[Jeff Lee]

Got a few people playing with the whole idea of gladiatorial combat this year.

[Maurice de Mare]

Abandon all hope!

[Robert Thomson]

Do I want to break the game using A, or break the game using B. I hope the next cull doesn't wait to Monday.

[william collins]

I don't have time for lunch today, but I do have time for a
quick snark

[william collins]

[Item]! [Item]!!!!!! If I did have time for lunch today, you'd be giving me indigestion!

[Aaron Miller 335]

So your item lets me put something inside me safely. So what happens when I no longer have the item??? What happens to the something, What happens to ME???

[pH unbalanced]

What an adorable typo. Will there be an arctic festival?

[Omnitricks]

Why are there so many lines in the crafting requirements?!?

Please raise your right hand and repeat after me:

"I do solemnly swear that before submitting my next RPG Superstar entry, I will take 10 seconds to open the rules for Detect Magic and see what my item's aura power should be. I also do swear to mercilessly downvote any item whose designer could not be bothered to take those 10 seconds to check such a simple aspect of item creation."

I haven't been paying much attention to the aura strength this round. Mostly looking at construction requirements.

Hmm, i wonder if listing the wrong aura strength is DQ worthy, after all having the wrong aura means your "Submission does not conform to the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game" = DQ...

Thomas, here. Eat a Snickers...

[GeneticDrift]

using the hide of intelligent creatures is not good. Using the hide of a humanoid intelligent creature is very gross.

Dragon scales can be given or harvested harmlessly, so don't worry about this snark dragon crafters. (I am sure I found other reasons not to vote for you ;P )

[Tiny Coffee Golem]

As if.

[grandpoobah]

Item I have seen a dozen times and downvoted each time:

I wish I could quit you.

[Jarrett Sigler]

Ok, Item. You Fall into the category of "I wish you were sent to me this before submitting, so I could help you fix it." Category.

I DO hope you post your item in the Feed-back Thread. I have some words for your designer. Not bad words, just, words for that person.

Your theme is awesome and traditional; your execution is where you fumbled, hard, down stairs.

However: I can tell you have potential. So please, get posted.

[Kurzak]

Lots and lots of things for the price of one thing. Neat-O.

[Browman]

I wonder why you think paizo never allowed an item to do that, but you should

[Vadims Hesins]

These are not the sword powers you're looking for.

[Brigg]

Do you KNOW the level of that spell? Or what level you have to be to CAST that spell? Any you made your CL less than 10?

*flips table*

[Vadims Hesins]

I like this item, but that one pun is too much to bear.

[Rei]

Just misread "spell" as "smell" while reading through an item and suddenly made the whole thing a lot more mundane.

[Brigg]

"Envelope" vs. "Severe"

That extra "e" messed both of you up. ^.~*

[pH unbalanced]

necrotic <> necromantic

[Maurice de Mare]

stupid joke item

[Maurice de Mare]

batman item

[Robert Thomson]

Is it bad that I will upvote an item that does pretty much nothing when pitted against an item that I feel would be harmful to the game if introduced, but actually does things?

[Maurice de Mare]

I liked your item better at 80 words, the last 25 ruined it.

[pH unbalanced]

T's vs W's

[Maurice de Mare]

I took great care reading the other item, it was flawed.

I win!

[Maurice de Mare]

Weird, I suspect that sometimes voters receive the exact same pairing.

[Trekkie90909]

They do.

[Maurice de Mare]

lifeforce vs lifeforce

wrists vs wrists

Themed voting?

[Nickolas Floyd]

So it is worse if I pass the saving throw? I think that was a mistake.

[Browman]

Hopefully I won't see this again after the next cull.

[Omnitricks]

Even this item's drawback is useful. I mean sure you will see all your friends die but the Belkar in me says "just loot their corpses" if I survive.

[Robert Guthrie]

Ok, which of you guys are torturing your players with incorporeal undead? Every other item is some kind of ghost slaying/trapping/banishing doohickey.

[frank gori]

wow way to combine a classic item and a classic mythos and do neither of them justice...

Edit To be more constructive: The issue is in order to do either o those things justice you needed a lot more then 300 words. points for ambition and it just makes you middling in the grand scheme.

[Maurice de Mare]

Kitchen vs Kitchen......mmmmm....soup

[Robert Thomson]

Finally, I see my own item, and before my 1000th vote.

It's paired up against an item I don't think is very good. So I guess that tells me where my item must rank as well.

Saw that one too, at the same time you saw it

[frank gori]

seeing my own item a minute after 2nd cull whoot!

[Maurice de Mare]

I win again, survived the 2nd Cull

[Twisted Path]

Pretty sure I just saw a post referring to my item, and now it's gone. I was going to respond in PM, but I forget who had posted it.

Regardless, yeah. I know. That was a result of the second version and I wish I had stuck with the original.

[Browman]

how are you still here post cull item?

[Eric Morton]

I must be in a pessimistic mood.

Every few pages in this thread, I see a statement of condemnation that says something like, "This item spits in the face of everything fun about gaming and makes me question the existence of E. Gary Gygax. I will up-vote a poorly-templated grocery list before I ever allow this piece of garbage to tarnish the game forever with its unforgivably bad mechanics and its unsavory intentions towards my loved ones."

Every time I read a statement like that, I immediately assume it's directed at my item. I don't assume that about any of the mild snark in this thread, just the truly vitriolic stuff.

Have a little faith in your skills, Eric Morton of the Clans.

[KalEl el Vigilante]

That is not a Pathfinder class, sorry. I don't like your opponent much, but it follows the rules...

Reading the text next to your name, I doubt it.

I'm the same; I read every single snark to see if there is a hint of my item. Very disheartening, but I can't stop myself. :(
