If it's a time-limited quest game where crafting takes a long time, the PCs should have a reasonable opportunity to be aware of the downside and plan accordingly.Running Red Hand of Doom in 5e, I like its approach of simply throwing a ton of magic items at the PCs via all the NPC enemies - it is both flavourful ("These guys are serious!") and practical. But I also like the standard 5e official adventure approach of making magic items fairly rare & not necessary for success. It gives a different feel from 3e/4e, a bit more grounded.</blockquote>
