So, first of all, crafting. Not going to look like much compared to 0.4.1, but 0.4.2 is dozens of hours further along - its just the vast majority of that was data entry and plugging numbers into formulas and tweaking things - every recipe for every branch has now be recomp...
2021-03-26 08:44:10 +0000 UTC View PostFirst of all, I've promised frequent updates here, and frequent updates we shall have. The numbers and DCs of Woodcarving and Tinkering have been updated; almost every thing has been slightly tweaked based on feedback and the updated math. Enchanting should be update tomorrow but...
2021-03-24 09:02:23 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks, I've been promising an update on Crafting, so here is the 0.4 document:

What follows is a long ramble about the design process and design philosophy; skip to the end for the links to the content :D

Today I bring you Barbarians.

2021-02-24 10:52:56 +0000 UTC View PostOver the next month or so, I'll be releasing the playtest/beta versions of the subclasses for all non-Artificer classes. For fun, I figured I'd throw up a poll for the order you folks want to see them.
The Fighter isn't on the poll as I've already posted them:
These are preview versions of these subclasses that are going out for playtesting. If you'd like to playtest them or just read them and share your thoughts, I'd be happy to see what you think.
Tech Knight has been fairly heavily revamped, giving it a tight focus on the weap...

Hey folks; as promised, wood working is here. It is not perfect, but wanted to get the system in.
I've also refactored Leatherworking a bit to differentiate between rawhide, tanned, and boiled leather, and largely made the process of converting hide somewhat more difficult; it's a bit...

I don't post this everything time I update it, but with a bunch of new folks and more than 10 spells since last time I posted it, I figure its time to bring forward the Casting Compendium for the month.
It has the freshly added and somewhat horrifying mutate added!

Hi folks-
This isn't a huge update, but I wanted to get this update out there for Leatherworking. I've decided to push forward with Leatherworking and Woodworking (pending shortly) before I do the revamp of the layout; the reason for this is those are the branches of crafting that will add ...

Hi folks-
Been promising that I'd include Tinkering for a bit now, so wanted to send an update with it included. This is not quite complete, but includes a pretty big chunk of it and brings in a lot more items to make, rounding out the list of adventuring gear.
There's two things I'm ...

So let's start with... this is a preview version. I promised folks I'd post an update version, but there's a lot left to do for this version - I haven't even gotten into the Runesmith/Cursesmith/Fleshsmith updates, and there's more to do in a few other sections. It turned out I had very l...

It's 2021, folks!
I have new stuff for you; crafting has updated again, bringing:
So I have good news and bad news; Runesmith is still going to go through a bit more playtesting with some new tweaks (that's the bad news), but the good news is I'm going to open this one up for everyone on patreon, as many folks have wanted to get in.
For those that haven't seen it for awh...

There's a fair bit new here; the biggest edition is a further expansion of Enchanting, and a whole new branch... Wand Whittling, using Woodworking Tools to carve magic wands :)
Wands did end up taking a second pass - originally I'd planned for them to be fully modular (like the Lesser Wands...

Brought to you by a patron request, we have something a bit different!
Undead is tricky race, because they tend to break some of the fundamental assumptions of the game. Consequently, this one comes with a pretty big "talk to your DM before considering playing a skeleton in your game, a ske...

This is a collection of all of the spells I've made for various other projects. That's currently 73 spells in total. To be clear, this won't contain many (if any at all) brand new spells that cannot be found anywhere else, it just collects all the spells I've made into one place. As many of the s...

So this is a bit of a mess. It's largely functional, but this is definitely sort of hacked together right now.

A new psion subclass and discipline that'll be working its way into the next update for the Expanded Options of Psion, this one focuses on the darker path of psionic consumption, feeding off psionic energy and consuming the minds (usually not literally, but there's a talent for that...) to furthe...
2020-11-11 17:51:24 +0000 UTC View PostOne of the most back and forth parts of Crafting that's delayed getting it into your hands is the contention around the "crafting roll" and what purpose it serves in crafting.

Blacksmithing is the next crafting branch to get updated, and it's a little overdue now, but this is part of what I've been working on for it; this is just a little preview really, but I've been trying to balance how to make it interacting with the average adventuring day compared to something li...
