Product Type:Potent Portals is a 25 page DM utility pdf, which downloads and prints quite nicely.  The layout is well designed, and the Table of Contents breaks down the various items of inclusion thoroughly. Value:At $5.00, I don't think you can ask for a better value this side of free.  The product's material can be easily integrated into any adventure, and the information provided covers each item's applications and relevant rules material quite well.Artwork:If this Potnent Portals has a primary weakness, it's in this area.  The number of illustrations is limited, and this quality of these sketches leaves much to be desired.  Although the cover art and clear separation bewteen items are nice.Usefulness of Material:As a DM who runs several different campaigns, I believe this product has excellent usefulness.  Every campign has characters passing through (or beside) a myriad array or portals.  By utilizing one of the items described in this product, you will provide a creative encounter in an otherwise run-of-the-mill situation.  Any Gamemaster can immediately redirect their group's attention or alleviate routine play by reaching for this product.The Good and the BadI genuinely liked how many of the spells we intimately know were put to creative use herein, as in the case of the Awning of Yawning, Unwelcome Mat and Suspicious Curtains.  Perhaps even better, was the inclusion of more offbeat concepts like the Drop Box and Pompous Portal, which are creative and fun in their own right.  Some items appear to lack purpose Quaint Glimpse, while others are very limited in use Arch of Imprisonment.  Still, if you can get past the occasional naming pun, Potent Portals has lots to offer in a small, easy to reference package.</blockquote>
