Seems kinda cool. Perhaps helpful to new RPG'ers or mebbe when throwing a quick game together on short notice.

So, I bought this and was quite impressed. High quality card material. Stats are cool and interesting. Don't know that much about the later Adventurers Backpack book other than the small book that came with one of the little box sets. Anywho, these seem very excellent for one night off games that start at low level. I could also see a card being a treasure find. Since my post from a few years ago, has anyone else purchased the deck, and what are your thoughts?

They are very helpful. Have used several times. Even used magical backpacks to recruit a group... two dwarves made them, sold them into the world then when needed recalled the right mix of backpacks with PCs attached. Instant party with back story. "We will return you each to your home after you get back our missing hammer. Oh and we will teach you how to really use your backpacks (turn them into back packs of holding)."
Wow, Another Natural One! You guys are a sink hole for luck. Stay away from my dice.

I actually really like the various custom backpacks in Adventurers Backpack and routinely use them now. The only issue is that they are pretty stuffed with stuff so it can be problematic with encumbrance, particularly with your smaller demi-humans. Frankly, we don't pay super close attention to the encumbrance rules anyhow, but I do like to keep things reasonable. But I haven't used the cards.
