Crafting and FABREP

Engineering and item crafting has a heavy focus on role-play at Ardent Spacers, but not the usual “role-play for 10 minutes then swap your materials at the admin desk”.

FABREP Crafting

Crafting at larps can feel like a vending machine, so we’re leaning into that!

Instead of spending time role-playing making basic items, players will be able to hand over materials to the fabrication lab in the TASKMINDERS base and come back later to receive their new things. It’s like 3D printing but much more advanced. Some items will be available quickly, others might take hours or days to complete.

The spaceship has a limited material storage that characters can purchase, and use of the lab has a small fee. If you already have the materials, you’ll just need to pay this small fee. Be warned – if everyone decides to suddenly buy a lot of metal from the ship, that will drain the ship’s supply and may have knock-on consequences (and new missions to go and find metal in the environment or broker trade deals with locals).

If there isn’t anyone in the FABREP lab, there will be an envelope drop-off to write your details and submit the right materials and money. It’ll be processed as soon as someone returns.
