However, I'm not really sure how to back out of the current state of affairs without overturning our pre-established knowledge about crafting. However, they visibly check out during the crafting portions of the sessions.
They're good sports about it, and they both benefit from the supply of crafted stuff. These processes have also ballooned into a lot of shared spreadsheets tracking what we have, where to find it, what it does, and how much crafting uses.Īt this point, I'm looking to dial this back because it's getting tedious for me to plan for and preside over, not to mention that our barbarian and sorcerer don't have a lot to do when we spend all day standing around a cauldron brewing potions. However, these resource farming and crafting activites are taking more and more of our time.
In the past I wanted to reward their enthusiasm for searching for new materials and cool uses for them, so I supplied a lot of interesting materials on the map and in the monsters they killed.
Several of my PCs really enjoy crafting/potion-making/resource-farming and have builds that are well-suited to it.
