| Hey there everyone,
Since there seemed to be a good amount of interest in the Item Cards on these forums, I thought I would let everyone here know about the contest we are having in anticipation of the release of the new set "Relics of War". Here is the press release. I will gladly answer any questions you might have about it here or on our forums.

Paizo Publishing®, LLC Launches GameMastery Item Pack: Relics of War Concept Contest
Be the most creative and win!
Paizo Publishing, LLC announced today that they are launching a five-week contest leading up to the release of their next GameMastery Item Pack set, Relics of War. The contest is broken into five one-week installments. Each week, participants will be provided with one card image from the upcoming Relics of War card set. Contestants must then generate a description for that item, including powers and history, and then post their idea to the Relics of War contest thread on the paizo.com messageboards.
Since GameMastery Item Pack cards are designed for use in any fantasy setting, item powers and histories may be submitted using any currently published game system. "These cards are usable by everyone, regardless of their campaign, play style, or game setting," said Jason Bulmahn, Project Manager for the Item Pack line, "so the contest is equally flexible."
Winners will be determined by the staff at paizo.com, and each week's winning entry will be posted on the GameMastery website (paizo.com/gamemastery) along with the card's image. Additional rules and details can be found on the paizo.com GameMastery messageboards.
The first week of the contest begins today, October 16, 2006, and runs through Sunday, October 22, 2006. One winner will be announced at the end of each week, and each winner will receive a free booster display (12 boosters) of Relics of War after the set is released. Further rounds of the contest will take place on the following dates:
Week 2: October 23, 2006
Week 3: October 30, 2006
Week 4: November 6, 2006
Week 5: November 13, 2006
GameMastery Item Pack: Relics of War is due in stores in late November; it may be preordered online at paizo.com or at local hobby stores everywhere.

| Relics of War Week 1 Contest Winners
Greetings everybody. With week 1 of the Relics of War “Design an Item” contest behind us, and the release of the set one week closer, we are ready to announce this week’s winner. It was not an easy choice as there were a lot of really good entries. We narrowed it down to just a few and then picked the best of the best. In the end, TWWombat’s entry of the Marshall’s blade Angeltongue is this week’s winner. The blade has a number of nifty mechanics tied to a great backstory. TWWombat will receive 1 display box of Relics of War booster packs when the set releases on November 23rd.
As an aside, we have an honorable mention to give out. Woontal’s blade for the Call of Cthulhu game was truly fantastic and shows how these cards can be used for any game system, even one that does not focus on fantasy. On behalf of the contest team, I would like to thank all of this week’s participants and I look forward to seeing all of your entries for week 2.
All of the entries for week 1 can be found on our messageboards at www.paizo.com, along with the submission and discussion threads for week 2.

| Relics of War Week 2 Contest Winners
Hello everybody. Week 2 of the Relics of War “Design an Item” contest is now closed, which means the release of the set is one week closer. This week, the item was on old rusted ring, with a fiery red gemstone mounted on it face. We got a lot of great submissions for this week and it was tricky narrowing down. In the end, Scott & Le Janke’s entry proved to be the winner. While we had imagined a lot of ideas based around rusting powers, we never foresaw one dealing with preventing tetanus. Scott & Le Janke will receive 1 display box of Relics of War booster packs when the set releases in late November.
We have another honorable mention this week to give out. Plantling’s Ring of Unmaking was tied to a good piece of fiction and had some interesting powers. On behalf of the contest team, I would like to thank all of this week’s participants and I look forward to seeing all of your entries for week 3. As Halloween is right around the corner, we thought this would be a good week to put up one of the more horrifying pieces from the set, the Demonhide Armor.
All of the entries for weeks 1 and 2 can be found on our messageboards at www.paizo.com, along with the submission and discussion threads for week 3.

| As a quick note to everyone,
Week 3 of the Relics of War contest comes to a close on Sunday, November 5th at 11:59 pm PST. We have only a few entries this week so your chances of winning an entire display of Relics of War boosters is pretty good. If you have not done so already, get your item in soon. This weeks item is demonhide armor. The contest submission thread can be found at

| Relics of War Week 3 Contest Winners
Hi everybody. Week 3 of the Relics of War “Design an Item” contest is now closed, which means the release of the set now only a few weeks away. This week, the item was a suit of vile demonhide armor. As with past weeks, we received a lot of great submissions, but this week one clearly stood out above the rest. Woontal’s Daemonhyde armor, a suit worn by the lead singer in a death metal band, was truly original and fun to read. Woontal will receive 1 display box of Relics of War booster packs when the set releases in late November.
We have another honorable mention this week to give out. Lilith’s Wrath of Tolkeen for the rifts system was a great entry with a solid background behind it. On behalf of the contest team, I would like to thank all of this week’s participants and I look forward to seeing all of your entries for week 4. Moving away from the evil demonhide armor, we though this week would be a good time to look at another relic of good, the Unicorn’s Horn. To check out the item go to.

All of the entries for weeks 1, 2 and 3 can be found on our messageboards at www.paizo.com, along with the submission and discussion threads for week 4.

| Hi there all,
Just a quick heads up. The week 4 Relics of War Item Card contest is about to come to a close tonight at midnight. As there are relatively few entries at this point, this week gives you good odds to pick up a free display of Relics of War Item Cards.
For those of you who have no idea what I am talking about, Relics of War is the newest set of Item Cards set to release here in just a few weeks. These cards depict customizable treasure good for any fantasy RPG. To celebrate its release, we are giving out one display box of cards to one lucky winner who comes up with the most original and interesting magic item to go with one of the cards from the set. This weeks item is a Unicorn's Horn.

| Relics of War Week 4 Contest Winners
Greetings from the GameMastery laboratory. Week 4 of the Relics of War “Design an Item” contest is now closed, which means the release of the set now only a few weeks away. This week, the item was a noble unicorn’s horn. We seem to always get a number of great submissions for this contest and this week was no exception. In the end, however, we had to pick one to receive the coveted display box of Relics of War cards. This week, Lordofthenerf’s entry of the “Heart of Vengeance” stands out from all the rest (may Uni rest in peace). Lordofthenerf will receive 1 display box of Relics of War booster packs when the set releases in later this month.
We have another honorable mention this week to give out. Agamon the Dark’s item “Enchantica’s Wand” made for a fun read and had some good mechanics to go along with it. On behalf of the contest team, I would like to thank all of this week’s participants and I look forward to seeing all of your entries for week 5. For our final week of the contest, we thought we would post up one of the more evil items from the set, the Mask.
All of the entries for the previous weeks can be found on our messageboards at www.paizo.com, along with the submission and discussion threads for week 5.

| Hello everyone,
This is your last chance to win a display of Relics of War Item Cards. The contest closes tonight at 11:59 pm PST. There are still relatively few entries, so this is a great week (and the last week) to give it a shot.
