I know there is upkeep on the pets but is there a price to buy them?

nope. The concept behind the unique pets is that they are one of the kind. So, it's more of an "on loan" under the condition that the characters care for the pet consistently. The pet leaves and returns to Bert if the characters fail to care for it.

Thanks for the support! I've been working on some newer items but not enough for an update yet. The next bigger update for this product will likely be a change to the new layout I use (i.e., Bert's Potion Shop) with probably just a handful of new items.

But I mainly do this just for fun so honestly, no timeline on any of my future projects haha!

no problem i had bert use a cockney accent and used him as a wandering salesperson with a jacket that when he opens it has all his wares like the old dodgy buying something off the street kind of guy. All the goblins will be named bert even though they will be meeting the players for the first time each time, "we met you before oh thats a different bert" all in all though my players had a laugh and i also decided to make him an ancient gold dragon that is polymorphed into a goblin incase any of the party decides to try to steal from him

haha, that's excellent! funny enough, Bert is in fact an ancient gold dragon named T'Reb in the Adventurers League community-created content that I worked on. Though it was never directly reviewed to be so, characters that pay attention to all the hint dropped over a series of adventures can piece together this information :)

From the sample: "Cursed: This bow is cured." Pretty sure it should read 'This bow is cursed." ;)

I was reading through this I think my favorite item so far is the Armor of Vengeance. I especially liked the example you gave of what the armor would do if you fell off a bridge.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
