Read "Corny Nuts"
Which brings us into the next edition of the Game thread! For newcomers, this is an RP thread thats been ongoing for,... shit, 3 months now. How time flies.
Anywhow, its based on a very loose and permissive rendition of classic D&D 3.5 edition as a baseline, and includes whatever additions can be effectively (and not too ludicrously) included; basically whatever players want that also makes some sense.
The party has just made some character and story developments. Trump and Tracy discover that when their powers combine they form Captain Planet,... or rather, Tracy gets uber-sized and most ferocious.
Infernius and Thez have successfully tracked down and captured a Dark Elf who had been masquerading as the proprietor of the Bazaar (there is no proprietor) who were responsible for jacking all their shit.
What happens next? I have some idea, which probably means its not going to go anywhere near how I expect.

Trumpaladin went on a wonderful date with Slovenia

Tracy discovered a bolshevik mining city

Inferius discovered a Tree orc city, and was beaten back

ALL of our gold was stolen by those damn elves

Tracy went out and took bird eggs on some crazy adventure

Trumpaladin formally made Tracy a mount and they fugged, so she has full cauchemar super powers now

Inferius tracked down and found a Drow elf, and captured it

Tracy managed to kill the elf during interrogation

Tracy and Inferius were attacked by spiders from the elf's suit

Trumpaladin went to Sparintenar to try to open a football franchise - that went horribly botched, but Tracy and Tay showed up, and now dealing is happening - that's where we ended

So Thez went and killed a Roc to make Thanksgiving dinner, which inspired Tracy to run off and find the nest. In doing so she pissed off the Roc's mate who was alive and guarding the nest. Thez popped in and spoke to the Roc, bonked it on the nose, and sent it packing while Tracy got all preggo-hormonal about the eggs, so they were brought back to the stables. As feasting ensued, Thez informed Infernius that the Tower's treasury had been looted, don't tell Lenos. Infernius did his best at magical forensics, but didn't find out a whole lot. Trump acquired a few choice items from the bazaar, including a matching set of letter openers. Later on, Infernius decided to investigate in and around the Bazaar, only to determine that the bald guy from the Bazaar was actually one of the Dark Elves in question who 'may' have been responsible for robbing Ben AND the party. A chase ensued, but while Infernius and Thez captured the bald guy, his distraction and misdirection stalled long enough for the other elves to escape with all the loot. After a day or so of attempting to interrogate the elf, one Darkemter Vrees who Thez knows from a previous reboot, Darkie would have his head severed and welded to a filled iron bucket. His torso was hollowed out, and many parts of his leg have been severed, but in the process the tiny magical spiders that inhabit his armor nearly killed both Tracy and Infernius. His remains are now locked in the vault with hopefully all the little bastards. The party has since ventured to Sparintenar, which is a spartan city run by a squirrel with a combat-helmet and a modified bazooka. After a tense exchange where Trump had to negotiate from a position of nescience (Thez was busy saving asses), Trump has established a favorable and negotiable position with the squirrel, while Taylor has made inroads for a successful singing career.

Yes. Also, fun fact. I was wrong about being unable to add magical effects to existing magical items, however with each plus (or plus equivalent) the item progressively increases in cost and therefore time. Turning a +1 sword into a +2 sword takes 6 days, but turning a +4 sword into a +5 sword takes 28 days.

Not to be a dick, but you'll have to figure out - and I mean this literally - how she can manage to craft a hand crossbow that CAN be operated by hoof, but which will not go off at the wrong time. I mean, you could say 'take the trigger guard off', but I think we both know what is gonna happen if you do that.

Fairly simple, primarily wood with some stonework. Minimal embellishments (an occasional symbol or design but no fancy sculptings like elves do it). An almost Bavarian style of architecture with steep roofs, suggesting that in colder climtes that snow is a problem. Fireplaces of varying size, also suggesting that climate control is a consideration. Emphasis on wood stains and laquers, rather than paints.

A percentage of the listed cost must also be covered by appropriately fine materials (I think it's 1/4), but yes that's generally the case. All items are subject to approval, but that's more to determine if there was something obvious forgotten (meaning it wouldn't work) or something minor (meaning, I can fuck with whoever uses it)

Lesser items aren't a problem, but with greater items there may be some additional requirement I want to apply, as I disagree with some of the magic item classifications and/or descriptions. Additionally, with some items I may require that PCs be more specific about resources, intentions, effects, etc.
Example: with the cloak that Tracy is making, I could require particular materials (sack-cloth would NOT do), as well as other considerations (gems? embroidery?). I'll let Tracy continue with the cloak as is, but the more I think about it the greater level of potential detail I intuit.

Additionally, there may be penalties to certain items. A Cloak of Charisma is generally described to be a royal/fine article, which means it would stand out, potentially causing a negative to checks to hide while wearing. Just some things to think about.

Its not so much the Caster Level (I thought it was Craft Level for a long time too), as it is the general/specific effects, magical nature (nice/ebil, law/chaos), etc. Items of Blah +w/e aren't a problem, but several others (particularly the ones requiring Wish, Miracle, etc.) that are more restricted.

With Tracy gone, Thez wanders into the stable to check on the eggs, beaming with satisfaction (of several varieties), to find Torcuil collapsed on the ground. "Hey.

Really, the reason why I'm not fond of declaring stuff all of the time is because I don't want to spoil stuff that badly. I find it so much more interesting to reveal stuff at the last moment for maximum dramatic effect, and it doesn't help very much if a;ll of the characters can read what I'm doing.
