Praise for 20 Things #25: Curio Shop & Pawnbrokers

“Creighton Broadhurst’s take on curio dressing is truly inspired: All those weird little items and strange finds tell of old stories, opportunities and possibilities. Considering the wealth of information properly running a curio shop can require from the GM, this dressing file constitutes a godsend for most folks and lives up to its potential. I, for one, would love to see a sequel, perhaps even a larger book with magical curiosities?”
