Are you talking about crafting magical items again, or mundane crafting?
Magical - Mundane will not require complex recipies I thought. Psuedo-Magical crafting will, but again that shouldn't be done out of the gate. I could be wrong there though ;)

Gah magical crafting!
I didn't think we were doing anything without DM help.

They will be the same system. Nobody has to write a recipie, nor drop the reagents to make a [Flametongue], but the support will be there.

I may be mistaken but didn't the crafting system posed get passed? And I also assumed it was going to come on over to ALFA2?

The needed Skills and Feats are those in PnP D&D. As far as components and so forth we just need to make a package of them to be included in the base mod. As far as formula's, ie needed spells and components for magical crafting they will be a DM based thing at least for the time being.

I'll get to making a list in the crafting forum.

Might I ask if there is currently somewhere where we can find out what the current stae of play of crafting is? What standards (if any) have been set, what agreements (if any) have been made, etc?

Or is it all buried in this thread and just need excavating?

No one has expressed a desire to work on it, so the state is: stasis.

There isn't any. Nobody has time to implement crafting. And nobody capable, so far, has raised their hand to do it.

I've got the interest, but it's somewhere near the bottom of my list ATM. Once we get the mission critical systems completed that ALFA needs, it'll rise up in priority. If someone wishes to volunteer for the task, I'll pencil them in but as it stands, nobody is working on it to my knowledge.

Id be more than happy to help with a crafting system in anyway needed if I regain my DM ranking. I have a lot of ideas and would love to help anyway Cipher or whomever needs.

What technical skills do you possess? Can you script? Can you create items (in the toolset)? Anything that would be relevant to building this?

I don't have the authority to admit you to the DM ranks, but it's not a requirement here. Contributing to the community in a positive way might assist you in your case when you bring it before the new DMA.

I can do everything in the toolset but script. As for helping...Im not going to work on the tech side of ALFA if I dont have a real reason too. As a player I would be happy in bliss. If I am going to work on tech aspects it will be a DM or I wont help. Its that simple. This whole thing is rather silly with my situation, but I think you can understand why I feel this way.

Well, not pointing finger, just gneuinely wanting to know, what happened?

The start of this thread seemed to imply that there was a team and they had things well in hand.

Simple mathematics: work > volunteers

And when we prioritize what we have to do, this isn't at the top of the list.
