ReplyDeleteIf you like playing with cursed items, this book is a must-have. The rules it gives are really fun and useful, and the items and item qualities themselves are a delight! As someone who worked on this, cursed items for this book weren't designed to be annoying metagame pests—they were designed as adventure hooks, plot twists, and sources of comedy. They're written to encourage player creativity. I've loved perusing my copy, and I highly recommend you get one as well!
ReplyDeleteI usually only get to use one good cursed item per campaign so as not to overuse them, so I have to put some thought into what I can throw at my players without derailing the game.
ReplyDeleteWhen I don't want to fall back on the one that changes the PC to the opposite gender (again), I can see a couple here that I can slip in and they can lay in wait subtly until just the right moment for maximum effect. Also, there's a few in there for those dad-gummed gunslingers.
