Finished another one today. This glass is super thick so I have to etch each piece for a good 2-3 minutes each to get that design deep. Then drilling the eyelet for the jump ring takes another 8 minutes or more. Then it's off to the grinder for about 20 minutes to take the edges down & rounded off.

Here's another TTRPG design post you'll want to read.
When you are designing your own rules, you should do so in a way that is simple, clear and concise. The more "if this than that", the more load you add to the players/designers.

As I once explained in my LiveJournal days:
* a 32-page Pathfinder adventure has 20,000 words.
* a 99.9% typo-free 32-page adventure would have 20 typos.
* that’s a typo every 1.5 pages.
* reducing that would delay every book a significant amount.

The truth about editing TTRPGs is that even the best books by the most experienced designers/developers contain way more errors than you think. Not because the creators are bad at their jobs—it just reflects the truly immense complexity of our books. To catch all those takes a huge amount of work!
