*chuckles* Don't feel bad about responding. Just because I "got published" (yeah, in a self-published PDF, big deal ;)) doesn't mean I'm perfect. Rather than respond to the points you outlined (I agree with some of them, in fact, but when I wrote my book I didn't want to deviate too far from...

Besides, altering material costs to fit the (realistic?) economy of your world - even only in specific areas due to scarcity - is trivially easy for a GM to do. Just change the materials cost on the spreadsheet and the result will pop out adjusted for this. --The Sigil

Of course. I'll give you a rough idea of time required, too. Time is now 13:14 by my watch. Pine has a craft DC modifier of +0, and a progress check of -1 (pine is a bit difficult to work with due to its tendency to splinter). Cost is 4 sp per pound. It has a weight factor of 3/5 wood. So...

Hey, I'm not "Mister 3000" for nothin' :) --The Sigil

All of a sudden the thread got quiet... did I make everyone's head hurt? ;) --The Sigil

And... your hope is not in vain. :) KEY POINTS OF SYSTEM IN THE ENCHIRIDION OF TREASURES AND OBJECTS D'ART: 1 - Item market price is a function of raw material cost and labor cost (not labor cost is a function of item market price, as in Core Rules) 2 - Labor cost is a function of Craft DC...

The "Control Freak" - The enchanter who is used to having his way, with everyone under his mental domination/charms. He's loved, adored, worshipped, and spoiled... then along come these adventurers who don't think he's so hot. Think of Dudley from Harry Potter when confronted with Hagrid for...

Thread on the value of admantine (and, IIRC, mithral): http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?threadid=12885 Skip the last post in the thread (should be mine). One man's take on the situation. All you have to do now is figure out how many pounds of metal in a warforged are...

Or use Buy the Numbers and "roll your own" spontaneous caster... though this will take a little more work... but the BtN system lets you take access to cleric spell lists, choose the "base attribute" (Wisdom, Charisma, etc.) while casting as a spontaneous caster. While this system is intended...

Don't know if this has been linked already, but the economic system as written is not too bad at handling magic items... I (re-)present "The Economics of Magic Items (RE: Naked Adventurers)" http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=17162&highlight=Magic+shop Besides, it even has a...

The "gems" of my collection (in no particular order): First Fantasy Campaign (Judges' Guild) The entire line of Star Frontiers boxed sets, modules, and supplements (yup, if it was printed for Star Frontiers, I have it - I don't have all the minis, though, and am not interested in collecting...

I feel obligated at this point to jump to the defense of Wulf. I thought the stuff in the "Craft skill" sections of HoHF: Dwarves and HoHF: Half-Orcs was great stuff, and wanted to incorporate it into the Enchiridion of Treasures and Objects d'Art. I contacted him to ask for permission to...

Not to change the subject, but does stripmining the OGC from a product appreciably harm the publisher either? I'm genuinely curious here... as I stated in my long post, assuming any meaningful delay between press and "stripmine," the sales cycle is complete before the stripmine sees the light...

I want to re-iterate a point Elder-Basilisk made in his (lengthy) post, but in my own words. One act does not a person's alignment define... it is possible for good people to do evil acts, and vice versa. However, a paladin is held to a higher standard than simply maintaining a lawful good...

No. Again, you're using a straw man here. "Mean" is not the same as "Evil" (with a capital E, referring to a person whose alignment in an absolute morality sense is Evil). Hurting, oppressing, and killing others is "mean" under most senses of the word "mean" I am familiar with that do not...

True on all points. I wasn't trying to say, "publishers aren't following the 'spirit of the OGL'" or condemn those that don't. I was simply making an observation (that, objectively, most publishers don't gain much, if anything, with a tight designation) and making a speculative guess as to why...

No. There are many publishers who BELIEVE you should protect those things, and BELIEVE that their work is really valuable, and who are somewhat paranoid of someone else coming along, taking their content, and undercutting them... But looking at things realistically (at least, my opinion of...

Masterwork Anthology from Fantasy Flight Games - $5 for the breadth and range of material this hits is a great value, and I almost never see it talked about (maybe because it is an anthology with little selections from other books that do/did get talked about). And this'll sound weird, from an...

You're looking for "overland movement." Not sure of the DMG reference (you can probably use the index) but here's the SRD Reference/link: http://www.wizards.com/d20/files/v35/CarryingandExploration.rtf A journey of 1,000 miles by foot for a human (assuming walking and no terrain difficulty...

Posting one value? Probably protected by "Fair Use." BTW, a general rule of thumb (that I use when caught without my books), an NPC's wealth in gp is about 90% of the total XP required to achieve the character's next level (a 9th-level character has to have at least 55,000 XP to get to 10th...
