Personally the art isn’t my style, but overall a good addition to a GM’s toolbox.

Neat deck of magical boons and banes to spice up a session. I like that each card has suggestions to reduce the effects for lower levels and side quest ideas.

I bought this supplement for some laughs, but I've now had a chance to use it in a couple campaigns and my players just love it.

The more hardcore rules / build / balance players don't like the random overpower element, but the role-players LOVE having a hook to really dig their teeth into for their character.

So I'd call this a win. The font is TINY so it's best for younger eyes than mine.
