Endzeitgeist
First Post
This pdf is 8 pages long, 1 page OGL, 1 front cover and 1 page editorial.
That leaves 5 pages for simple, concise and player-friendly craft rules.
The pdf kicks off with a short and humorous demonstration on why the craft skill, as written, does not work.
After that, we get the new craft rules. They are simple, elegant and actually make it very, very easy for players to determine how long it will take for a given craft. Special materials, masterwork tools or lack thereof, complex materials and faster crafting due to exceptional skill are all taken into account.
While the rules are by now way taking a simulationalist’s approach to crafting, it enables PCs to craft and still go adventuring and, best of all, are easily scalable and can easily be modified.
Editing and formatting is top-notch, however, if you’re looking for awesome artwork, you won’t find any here.
Conclusion:
The pdf accomplishes what it sets out do – elegant, concise and simply a good system that should become standard and replace the current craft rules. For the price of $0.99, even the lack of quality artwork can’t detract from the appeal of the book. 5 stars.
