Here is my review of our very own FaxFayFaz 's Endless Enchantments What an astonishing piece of work this is and what an extraordinary fellow Jason Mills is. Not content with writing the entire bible, Old and New Testaments mind you, in Limericks, he brings us this gargantuan supplement for any fantasy roleplaying game. 1,000 enchanted items that can be easily slotted into your game either 'on the fly' when the players have gone 'off piste' and deserve rewarding, or as part of your carefully crafted scenario/dungeon/campaign. There are sections for weapons, armour, clothing and just about anything else you can think of and he has even provided a way of simply choosing an object from any section randomly. Coupled with Mr Mills' inexhaustible creativity, the illustrations of two superb fantasy artists can also be found in Endless Enchantments. Simon Lee Tranter's front cover is perfect and Jeff Freels' internal lineart is equally superb and appropriate for this weighty tome. All in all, this is one of the best system agnostic supplements that I have purchased in a very long time and I would go as far to say it is a "must have" for any aspiring GM be it for D&D, Runequest, GURPS, T&T or any other fantasy game. I pushed the boat out and sprang for the hardcover version and I don't regret the extra cost as I am sure to use this book, well ... endlessly.

darrght, that link seems a little... misdirected? Circular?

darrght, that link seems a little... misdirected? Circular? Not sure how I managed to get that so wrong How about trying this? Bizarrely, at the moment, the hardback can be bought for less than the softcover version EE

The softcover is much cheaper than the hardback in my neck of the woods. And shipping it from the UK to Australia is expensive! Buying from Amazon locally means that the book itself costs more, but the shipping is minimal, so the total cost is about 30% less. I mean, I'd like a hardback, but not *that* much.

I'll just have to live with the softcover then. (Which is due to turn up in a couple of days, hooray!)
