Sorry, I don't use third-party magic items unless they come with a usable story attached. I suspect that many other readers felt similarly.

Sorry for descending to usage-flames, folks.
I find this irritating, mainly because I thought I was done being "quested" and "geased" into the DM's fragile plotline when I stopped playing AD&D. Why don't you use a word like "forced" or "impelled" instead? Not only is this use of "geas" a D&Dism, but it also confuses things with Humakti-style Geasa.
whoah,
