This is a simply incredible resource. I plan to make liberal use of it in the Terrinoth campaign I'm in the early stages of working on. I have one question (sorry if this isn't the appropriate place for asking..). But for example, you mention that the process of identifying a magic item with the Lens of Identifying Magic takes 30 minutes to 1 hour. How is time measurement such as that accounted for in Genesys? I saw a couple of other instances in the tome where a period of time was devoted to something as well, and don't understand how to handle that mechanically. Thank you!

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Regarding time, you don't need to worry too much about it. See it as a narrative device. For example: if your players are fleeing a collapsing cave, they won't have 30 minutes to decide which one of two items they want to take with them, so they don't have enough time to identify either. If they are traveling, you can treat that as something they do when they rest. Whenever needed, you can use time-sensitive activities to give your players a more involved experience when doing something that takes any significant amount of time. As most things Genesys, however you choose to implement it should always serve the narrative.

Magic items add some spice to any character or story, and this book is awesome to help with that!

Not only this supplement includes dozens and dozens of pretty neat gear, but it also adds optional rules for regulating the amount of players' items and for creating cursed items.

After a short intro, the first section brings detailed rules for magic items commerce: buying, selling, prices and rarities. The next two sections propose a creative way to deal with hoarding, curses that can be added to magical gear, and specific rules for identifying the items' special properties. The main section entitled "Magic items" brings 10 elixirs, 9 weapons, 8 implements, 22 wearables, 19 general miscellanea and 14 legendary equipment... all brand new! The final section includes treasure tables for different XP layers, and the appendix with printer-friendly tables is really helpful.

IMHO, the content is great for any Genesys fantasy campaign (by and large, each item is unique and has cool mechanics), since it can also be used as a source of inspiration for your own magical items.

This is simply AWESOME. Over 80 items and they are well-thought out, and very detailed. As a creator of magic items myself, I know how difficult and it can be, and this is 40 pages of goodness! This really should be in everyone's Genesys library if their campaigns involve magic. Can't recommend this enough, and this is from a guy who will have two magic items supplements of his own by middle of this month, on DTRPG! (But hey, buy ALL of them!). Seriously though, no overlap, and this book is simply incredible. I accidentally bought 2 of them, and I'm not even mad about it!
