Message: <blockquote data-quote="Archer" data-source="post: 2009150" data-attributes="member: 2950">This is the sort of book that would be a very nice $5 pdf download from Rpgnow. It is however, a poor choice for a $27 book. If you have a chance to pick this up for $5-$8 I would encourage you to do so. Petition FFG to release this book as a pdf so you can get your hands on a copy. Very few people would be disappointed. The content is considerably better than the 100's of $5 downloads out there. I'd put it on the level of a Monte Cook product for value.d20 magic items are just a infinite combination of a bunch of powers that have a certain cost. This book gives you 78 artifact rings that are unique, which is the only type of magic item book worth getting. Each ring comes with a nice story and the stats are all listed compactly in the back which I suppose is a good way to do things if you need to reference the stats.I enjoyed reading the book and I might have use for a ring or two in my game.I used to say I'd always prefer a hard cover over a soft cover even though it would cost a little more. This is the sort of book that makes you change the word always to usually. In fact, it would be much better off not being a book at all to reduce the cost to something reasonable.To comment: I'm saying there are good $5 electronic files but they are drowned out in a wash of crap. Anyone can make something and put a $5 price tag on it. They can even get their friends to give it a few good reviews. This is something ideally suited to such a medium. I took off 2 points because of the price. I took off 1 point because there are a few slight non-compatibilities with the d20 system which make me suspect "I just write for these games, I don't actually PLAY them" syndrome.</blockquote>
