Featured Review:

"This collection of 30 Greco-Roman mythology inspired magic items are perfect for using in any Theros game, as well as any other with gods and legendary heroes...The way in which the mythology of the gods, philosophers and heroes are converted and distilled into magic items is seriously impressive, as well as being a great crash course in these fascinating stories!

"I really like the tidbits of lore included with many of the items... The Ring of Gyges, for instance is faithful to the mythological tales of an actual king of Lydia, which is mechanically the One Ring from Tolkien’s works. Pandora's Box...Marshall’s interpretation of the gift and a curse element, represented by being poisoned, while gaining bonuses to healing and death saves is inspired.

This is an awesome treasure trove of magical items woven from the tapestry of mythology and the many inspiring gods, mortals and everything in between that will lend a mystique and some fun, flavourful items to your games."
