[QUOTE="CF07, post: 9680504, member: 7052262"] One thing you could do if you don't want the PCs themselves to be doing a lot of crafting is to have certain monster parts to be harvestable and sellable. Essentially they're providing stock for crafters. For example, let's say troll heart blood is essential for producing Healing Potions. PCs can harvest a troll they happen to run into but could also mount an expedition to the Dread Trollfens or become part of such an expedition started by the Alchemists' Guild. The expedition could be its own adventure or could lead to something bigger. This doesn't work in all campaigns, of course. A more "save the world" type campaign may not be a good fit for "stomp the trolls". Maybe the latter can be a side quest that you're doing to get enough stock of Healing Potions before something bigger. That said, if you read a classic fantasy novel like [URL='https://alodar.com/blog/books-2/master-of-the-five-magics-2nd-edition/']Master of Five Magics by Lyndon Hardy[/URL], it's quite possible to interleave more altruistic or personal advantage aspects into a quest. Another one might loop into some dissolute noble wanting exotic things to serve at his party. [/QUOTE]
