Simple Shop & Craft 5e brings the shop and the workshop to the table. GMs stock the shelves and write the recipes; players buy, sell, haggle, and craft straight from their own character sheet.
No coin changes hands and no craft begins without the GM's word — every purchase, sale, and craft order goes out as a confirmation chat card first.
Highlights
Stand up as many shops as a campaign needs. Each one keeps its own buy/sell modifiers, Settlement Cap, and money pool; stock it by item identifier or a direct UUID, then let players buy and sell straight from their own character sheet — restocking, price overrides, and per-item caps are one click away for the GM.
Roll up magic items that are the real deal. Filter by type, subtype, and Rarity, and the generator doesn't hand back a placeholder — a "+1 Dagger" comes out as a genuine enchanted Dagger, and a Spell Scroll arrives with its actual spell already inscribed.
Every search runs through the Compendium Browser. Lookups resolve by identifier against whatever sources a GM has enabled there, so a shop's stock keeps working even as compendiums get added, swapped, or retired.
Haggling and per-player deals. A skill check against the shopkeeper's attitude shaves a temporary discount off the shop's prices on a success; GMs can also set a fixed buy/sell discount for an individual player, which stacks additively on top of the shop's own modifier.
Full Downtime Crafting, per the 2024 PHB/DMG rules. GMs write the recipe — target item, materials, tool, duration — players supply the goods and put in the workdays; progress lives on a real in-progress item, and the finished piece appears the moment the clock runs out.
Shops & Trading
The "Shop & Craft" window is where a GM builds out a campaign's shops, and where players go to open one for themselves.
Creating a shop starts from a short prompt: give it a name, and optionally pick a Starter Pack — a ready-made set of stock for a common shop type (Blacksmith, Alchemist, Tavern, General Store, Magic Shop, Blackmarket) — to skip populating it item by item.
Active and Inactive shops are split into their own sections. An Inactive shop stays invisible to players — it simply doesn't appear in their list — while the GM keeps full access to finish setting it up. Toggle it Active once it's ready for business.
Show to All Players pushes a shop open on every connected client immediately, bypassing the list entirely — useful for putting a shop in front of the party the moment it matters, without asking them to go find it themselves.
GMs can duplicate or delete a shop directly from the list.
Shop Manager
Buy & Sell
The Buy and Sell tabs list every item's price, weight, and stock; each line has its own +/- stepper for adding it to the cart.
Adding items pulls from the Compendium Browser and stores them by identifier — resolved against whichever pack matches the world's D&D rules version, so on a modern (2024) table that means PHB/DMG content, with matching SRD (2014) entries skipped. Dragging an item in instead stores it by UUID, for one-off pieces with no matching compendium entry.
Buying an item the character already owns (matched by identifier) increases its quantity instead of creating a duplicate — containers are the exception, since each one holds its own separate contents.
Items sold as a bundle — ammunition and other stackable gear — are bought as a set, but a player selling one back to the shop always sells a single piece; the price is divided down to match.
Stock is tracked per item, with a manual Restock button that refills everything back to its configured maximum (calendar-based auto-restock is planned).
The Settlement Cap enforces the DMG 2024 guidance on the priciest single item a settlement's size can support — anything above it is hidden from players and flagged for the GM.
The shop's money pool has a Current and a Max value. Current can run past Max as sales come in; hitting Restock caps it back down to Max.
The header shows an Icon, a Vendor (a linked NPC), and the Buy/Sell modifiers at a glance; a Description tab covers the shop's Location and free-text description.
Every purchase or sale goes out as a chat card for GM confirmation — accepting it writes or removes the items and adjusts currency immediately.
Final prices always round down to the nearest copper piece.
Platinum is left out of every price and pool display by default — the breakdown caps at the world's own default currency — but its value still folds correctly into the underlying copper math wherever it matters.

Magic Item Generator
Filters stack per submission: pick one or more item types (Weapon, Equipment, Consumable, …), each with its own subtype filter — e.g. "Weapons: Martial only" and "Equipment: Wondrous only" combine into a single roll. A Rarity filter and a Magic/Mundane toggle apply across every selected type, and a count slider rolls up to ten items at once.
Selecting the Scroll subtype under Consumables unlocks spell filters — school, class (drawn from the same registered spell lists the Compendium Browser uses), level, and ritual-only — and each scroll is drawn straight from a matching spell, not just a random scroll shell.
The underlying search runs through the Compendium Browser, matched by identifier, the same way Buy tab entries are.
Enchant templates resolve into the genuine item they describe: rolling a "+1, +2, or +3 Weapon" template against a Dagger produces an actual "+1 Dagger", built by pairing a real base item with the enchantment's effect.
Price comes from whichever the enchantment effect itself defines first; failing that, from the enchant item's own listed price; and only as a last resort from the same rarity-based default table used elsewhere in the shop.
A purchased Spell Scroll gets its identifier rewritten to include its level and the spell it carries, so two different scrolls never collide or get treated as the same item.
Rolled items shown in the Buy tab that don't already exist as their own compendium document — synthesized enchant results, scrolls tied to a spell — are placeholders assembled purely for display. They aren't a real item yet, so their sheet can't be edited, and only become one once the purchase goes through.
Ammunition without its own listed price defaults to a tenth of its rarity's consumable value per piece, per the DMG 2024 guidance that ten pieces equal one potion of the same rarity.

Discounts & Haggling
The shop's own Buy and Sell modifiers apply to every purchase and sale by default (0% and -50%).
Beyond that shop-wide rate, any single item can carry its own price override and its own discount override, layered on top.
Per-player discounts live in their own dialog: drag an actor in, then set a buy/sell percentage for them by hand — nothing here is computed automatically.
Haggling opens a roll dialog for a Charisma skill against a DC set by the shop NPC — the NPC's Intelligence score, floored at 15, per the rules. The NPC's attitude toward the party grants advantage (Friendly) or disadvantage (Hostile), also per the rules.
The roll itself never touches the shop's percentages — there's no official formula for how big a haggled discount should be, so the GM decides and applies it by hand through the Player Discounts dialog.
A failed haggle locks that player out of trying again with this shop. RAW that lock lasts 24 hours, but there's no in-module timer yet — a GM currently has to clear it by hand from the Player Discounts dialog; a calendar-based automatic reset is planned.

Creating Recipes
The Craft tab lists every recipe grouped by its target item's type, so players can see at a glance what's available to make.
A recipe can be open to every player, or locked down to a specific list of actors.
Building one starts with a target item — required — picked from the Compendium Browser or dropped in directly by UUID.
From there a GM sets the material value threshold, the fixed materials list, whether freeform substitutes are allowed, the required tool proficiency, and a duration. Price and duration default to the target item's rules-based cost — with the DMG's own exceptions for Spell Scrolls (cost by spell level) and the Potion of Healing (1 day / 25 GP) used instead of the generic rarity formula.
Fixed materials aren't individually mandatory — what counts is total value. A player only needs to supply enough of the listed (or freeform, if allowed) materials to clear the threshold, not every single one.
New materials are added the same way as the target item: a + button pulls from the Compendium Browser, matched by identifier; dragging one in instead stores it by UUID.

Crafting an Item
Starting a craft opens a player-facing dialog: pick the tool (if the recipe allows more than one), choose which owned materials to contribute, and optionally fill any remaining value gap with gold.
Starting it sends a chat card that needs GM confirmation before anything is consumed.
Once confirmed, the materials and gold are spent and an in-progress craft item spawns directly in the character's inventory.
Clicking the item's activity advances progress by one workday — the smallest unit of crafting time under the rules — once per Long Rest.
If that activity ever gets deleted by accident, it's recreated automatically the next time the sheet renders; the in-progress item itself is not.
Once progress reaches the full duration, the in-progress item is replaced by the real target item.
If the character already owns an item with the same identifier, the finished item stacks onto it instead of creating a duplicate.
