[John Teske · Rating 5 out of 5]

Much like the first book: why didn't I read through these sooner!?!

Just a wealth of ideas for magic items of all sorts, and the best part: you can mix and match to get what you need for your campaign!

A true treasure trove of ideas for magic items for any D&D game! It definitely has a first edition feel to it, a lot of save or die type stuff, but then again, there was a certain glamour to that in the 1970s and 1980s. Roleplaying has evolved now, and death of characters, where life was cheap in first edition, is now a big deal (particualrly with some character creation details taking hours) - so it is interesting!

Nevertheless, a true goldmine of information about the DnD game!
