Greetings,

  We've created several crafting systems that we are currently using in our game Westbound, but we are looking to now test them in dice-based fantasy role-playing games, including Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Herbalism, Rituals, Runeing, Tinkering, and Artificing. We're looking to make these crafts a supplement to all fantasy role-playing games. Many of the rules may be general or inappropriate for specific systems, so we're looking for help in translating them to as many systems as possible.

  These are fleshed out crafts, allowing players to create weapons, items, and consumables in a natural and fulfilling way. Each craft creates items in a different way, giving each a unique feel. Crafts can be also be combined together, creating powerful and unique weapons and equipment.

  We're looking for feedback on these crafts, and we want everything from first impressions to game reports. If you are a Game Master, we would love for you to introduce these crafts to your players, as well as create shops that sell their services. If you are a player, you could ask your GM if you could use one of these crafts as a skill, trait, or feat.

  You can download the crafting test here.


  The crafting test is a 35 page document, including rules and examples of Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Herbalism, Rituals, Runeing, and Tinkering. Feedback on any and all of these crafts would be appreciated, especially if sent directly to our email address. (Which is in the attached to the link) If you're interested in having a larger discussion, we have a Discord server where we can respond more immediately and have a faster conversation. (Which can be sent to your email upon request)

  Thanks, and happy crafting!

Hey!

  We've made some changes to our crafts based on feedback we've gotten, and want to see if they've been an improvement. If you have some free time and would like to explore some new crafts, we'd love to hear your feedback!

  You can get the testing materials by emailing us at IslandOfBees@gmail.com or going to the website below:

Hey mate(s?)

I trawl through design forums on occasion to see the scuttlebutt. I downloaded your system expecting disappointment, but holy hell I was wrong. Currently having a great time reading the alchemy stuff, it's incredibly useful, fun and imaginative. If I have any deeper thoughts on completing it, I'll let you know. I just wanted to drop a few cents worth of encouragement to you, because your system is cool and people are *really* stingy with feedback in my experience.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks Azraele! We're turning the crafts into a book soon, which is why we're desperate to get as many eyes on it as possible. We've gotten a lot of complements on the Alchemy, Herbalism, and Rituals systems, and some concerns with the Runeing and Blacksmithing systems, and complaints about the Tinkering system. We'd love some more fresh eyes on our pages!

You might want to include a hot http: link back to the project page in your footer, just so that downloaders remember where they got it from and to promote giving feedback.

Hey Lynn, generally the preference would be for them to email us. We also posted on multiple sites to expand how many people have seen this.

Right - but ideally, you make it as easy as possible so they do it, plus also on your end, some place to consolidate the information you  get. A link to a form is one way to do that, or a mailto: link that includes the subject (the version number) of the rules so you know what version they are talking about.
