Wield these Rings of Power!



"Rings of Power" by Various.

Printed and Distributed by Fast Forward Entertainment.

ISBN-10: 0-971-3234-4-5 -- 160 Pages

The first in the "Powers" series, Rings of Power does not disappoint. The Powers series is: this book, "Swords of Power", "Wondrous Items of Power", and "Occult Items of Power".

This book is divided into nine major sections:

1) "Rings of Legend".

2) "Beast Rings".

3) "Dragon Rings".

4) "Necromantic Rings".

5) "Artifact Rings".

6) "Heroic Rings".

7) "Rings of Destruction".

8) "Fey Rings".

9) "Ruling Rings".

There is a short Preface and Introduction at the front, and another short section in the back for "Creating Magical Rings", "Game Statistics", and the usual OGL. The Preface, and the Introduction are only one page each.

Altogether, there are 78 Rings of Power. Each section has a very short definition of the type of ring. Each ring has one or two pages each. Each ring also has a photograph of the ring. Yes, a real photograph. These rings could actually be found in the real world! Although powerless, imagine the shock of your players when you drop a =real= ring on the table!

At the back of the book are pages for "Magical Ring Creation", Game Statistics for each ring, and a Price List for the once supported purchasing of a prop Ring of Power (which no longer are available), and one advertisement.

I like Fast Forward Entertainment enough to buy every single thing they ever produced. This one is no different. It's nice to have a larger Treasure Trove have at least one magical item. These make great treasure fillers, especially the ones that seem to be good, but end up being bad! It's very nice to have a large list of special treasures for players to fight over. Do not forget that either you must use the ring, or you must have it identified. Once again, one of my higher recommendations!
