Message: <blockquote data-quote="The Sigil" data-source="post: 501721" data-attributes="member: 2013">TABLE OF CONTENTS:And here's the ToC, as promised (snipped slightly, notes in parentheses are spoilers and may or may not appear in the actual ToC)...The Enchiridion of Treasures and Objects d'Art==========Foreword (by the Author - my little "exposition" of "why I did what I did" and "why it took so long" and a couple of stories about the making of the book)Chapter 1: Introduction/How to Use This Book (Fairly Brief)Chapter 2: New Methods, Old Skills (covers Alchemy, Appraise, Craft, Herbalism, Knowledge, Profession, Spellcraft - and the Craft section is a complete rework of the Craft rules for reasons that are explained within the section)Chapter 3: Ensorcelling Materials (until today, this was Chapter 4, but I decided the book flowed better if I moved it here)Chapter 4: Treasure Hoard Generation (including generating "random" objects d'art - done from scratch and meant to replace the tables/treasure section in the DMG)Chapter 5: Item and Material Families (discusses the "broad categories" of items in some detail)Chapter 6: Special Components (inspired by the HoHF series, and including with gracious permission of Benjamin Durbin adaptations to the new Craft rules of all the stuff in HoHF Dwarves, Half-Orcs, and Elves - Ben was nice enough to send me an advance copy of the Craft section of Elves - thanks, Ben!)Chapter 7: Materials List, A-Z (you saw A in the preview - and A is just the tip of the iceberg)Chapter 8: Items List, A-Z (this will include a brief description of each item, with some illustrations, but no game mechanics - though there will be a table of Weight, Craft DC, Standard Material - what they're usually made of, and Standard Market Price broken into material and labor costs.  If I tried to do more explaining/detail, this thing would become beyond gigantic and would have to be pushed back another six months - it WILL include some commodities - you can't make a pig out of material other than pig meat, right?)Appendices:  - New Craft Rules (with heavy Examples) - New Feats (Feats are interspersed with text, this reprints them all in a single location - New Spells - Tables (including lists but not details of Alchemical and Herbalist Items and Commodities - I can't do a better or more thorough treatment of Alchemy/Herbalism than Bastion's Alchemy and Herbalists and Atlas/Penumbra's Occult Lore, so I won't even try - and re-typing them would take WAY too long, so I will simply suggest these as references). - OGL/LegalNow, these may change slightly, but this is by and large the format you can expect - and it lets you know what's in here.More feedback/comments? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />--The Sigil</blockquote>
