The Harpells are some of my favorite characters--especially taken as a whole--in the Forgotten Realms novels and I simply love the idea of an annual Harpellcon at the Ivy Mansion.

Each item is introduced with its provenance and who brings it for display, which is a wide-ranging group including presenters and items from Eberron, Ravnica, and other planes, besides the many factions and individuals representing the Forgotten Realms.

Humor abounds as I caught quite a few references that made me chuckle and even literally laugh out loud; no doubt I missed a few too. The art is lovely and many items are represented visually. Formatting and editing are top tier and the items and text follow D&D House style which, for this reader anyway, makes it much easier to parse out what I am reading.

Some of my favorites are the Lucky Charm, Personal Oasis, Summoner's Totem, Ring of Focus, and the Iron Wand.

I consider this a well spent $2.95 and definitely consider it a good value. Since you can see a 100% preview you ought to be able to make that decision for yourself easily before spending your money.

Preview : Extremely generous as seems to be the entirety of it.

Attribution : Check for both content and art.

TOC : None present. Not really needed.

Formatting :Quite good, although I do find the pebbled gray background to reduce legibility somewhat. Also, like most products at DMs Guild the font is a bit small. [Seems that is going to be a perrenial gripe for me.]

Art : Excellent and highly applicable, with a decent amount.

Style : Consistently follows WotC D&D style.

Editing : Quite good. Definitely in the top tier of products on DMs Guild in this regard.

Number and type of files included : One PDF.

Value : Quite good.

Notes for Author : I only found two very small issues. The first I asked on the Discussions tab about the missing effect length for the Ring of Fearlessness. The other is in the first sentence for the Wand of Aptitude: "Artificers from House Cannith and the Izzet League both showed up this year with example of this wand." Easiest fix is "example[s]" or perhaps "[an] example".
