Looks I was wrong about it being more like Tasha's, it's for sure a DM facing book.

30+ monsters and 50+ magic items definitely got my interest.

 

[Remathilis]

Two backgrounds, 1 feat and 3 spells. Looks like fate clerics failed the Spark Joy test.

It seems like this is 5e's first big magic items book.

That's about what I was expecting based on what they said about the book: more of a Setting anthology (not a Setting, but a bunch of Setting bits and bobs thar cam be adapted).

Well, no, that's not much more I'm the way of items than Bigby, Fiznban or Xanathar's, IIRC.

"Whimsy." Eww.

I suppose Tasha's and Xanathar's had 48 and 47 respectively. That would still put this book as having the most. And when you think about all the new cards being added, they're sort of like 44 more magic items in their own right.

It's definitely no 3e magic item compendium, but magic items (including one particular item) seem to be the focus of the book.

Hmm. This has moved from a must-buy to a "depends on the reviews" purchase. I was hoping for a lot more PC facing options. It will really depend on what the DM facing stuff is.
