Crafting 0.8! 900 patrons!

Crafting is updated again, to 0.8. We will get 0.9 in the next week or two, and 1.0 will version in the book. So... we are getting close. SRD complete (all SRD items). New wave of items added. Value added crafting is fleshed. Some 3rd party items are added in (from Dungeon Strugglers, used with permission and licensing). I'm also going to be bringing in just a few from Griffon of Griffon Saddlebag for the book, but just a smattering. This isn't really a magic item book on its own, I just thought it'd be cool to include some of their stuff.

I know we are getting close now, as we are at 140 pages, and the system has to fit into about 150 pages :D

There is still more work to do. I am definitely running a little behind schedule, but I don't think much. I would expect 0.9 near this time next week, and the it being included in the KS version shortly after that.

Some of the changes:

• 20+ new items.
• A few of the missing items added in (special ammo, etc).
• A few dozen balance tweaks and fixes.
• Value added items fleshed out.
• A few new crafting spells fleshed out.

I would note one change I know some folks are not going to like; I've decided to fold the Infused Gems into Enchanting rather than Jewelcrafting and make Jewelcrafting purely a value added crafting branch. I had a bunch of conversations with folks, and ultimately this just works better - it was always a bit of an odd stretch to not have infused gems in Enchanting. Jewelcrafting is still super useful for making all those valuable rings and gems, but now makes a little more sense.

I am super excited that very soon we are going to get a version of the crafting with a vastly more function table of contents... I've seen the future, it's awesome! I'll share that with you folks as soon as it's ready to go (probably 2 weeks out, that'll be the 1.0 version).

900 patrons!

We've hit another goal! That's incredible! This puts us in striking distance of a goal I think that everyone can get behind - at 1,000 patrons I'll bring on some folks to help me with editing the online content a little more! It won't be everything, but I'll dedicate some of these funds for solving what I know is a major issue for many folks.

But that's getting ahead of things! The 900 goal is to collect my DM tools into a new mini compendium, and I'll add that to the docket, but I wouldn't expect that till next month - cannot really look away from the KS compendium right now, but fortunately that's generating plenty of cool content most of you are here for (like this crafting update).

I know I said I'd run the 2021 survey this week, and I actually have it sitting here ready to go, but I'm going to push it to next week; right now I wouldn't be able to do much with the results as I'm fully occupied with getting the book done.

Still, here's what to expect:

• I'm posting to reddit on Tuesday/Thursday right now. You can follow me on any of my social medias to see those posts, but Discord will get you a ping when they are up. This week I shared the awesome but corrupted Ancient Sentinel monster from the upcoming book and a preview of the Order of Creation Wizard :) I will include links to these in the weekly wrap ups here on patreon as well.
• The Inventor update has been sneakily out for awhile, but has been fully pushed to the live version. For you good folks around here, you can see it here but the reason it's not live is I expect one more big update to push it over the last mile to get it the the book ready state - mostly Relic and Rune getting a few more things.
• New week we'll see some new spells, and a few to be determined things.

It's been awhile since we've had a poll, but I expect it'll be a bit longer - probably next month. Right now, things are still orbiting the KS book until the draft is at least solidly done, but exciting plans are already forming a line beyond the light at the end of that tunnel... :D

A huge welcome and thank you to everyone's that joined! I'm very active on the Discord, but am happy to answer any questions on any platform you can find me on! Just feel free to reach out and give me a poke to see where something is, share your feedback, or just chat D&D.

All the best,
