[QUOTE="Baron Opal II, post: 9393167, member: 6794067"] I want ... Starcraft, in a way. [Workshop] Xgp. Lets you make [Catagory]. Potions, scrolls, wands, swords, what have you. [U]Base Material[/U] - Steel, lead, oak, cow's blood, glass vials with pure water, &c. The physical thing you hold or consume as well as common components. Trivial or easy to source.
