[QUOTE="FourthBear, post: 4313203, member: 55846"] I would definitely agree that if your goal is to model something resembling real world crafting (and not interested in rules more focused on narrative outcomes) that what's needed is a good source for reasonable crafting times and materials from an environment closest suited to you campaign world. Once you've got an idea what you think it reasonable, you can decide what game mechanical elements you want to build around it. I spent a bit of time looking around for an RPG crafting guide or somesuch, but without any immediate luck. It seems to me that this comes up often enough that there should be some kind of guide to this sort of thing for writers of period pieces and perhaps RPGs. Does anyone know of any largely rules-free guides to crafting various items? I've found the GURPS line to often have very useful and interesting background material, but I don't own GURPS Low Tech. Any chance it could have useful background material? [url]http://www.sjgames.com/gurps/books/low-tech/[/url] [/QUOTE]
