Feature: Maker Network
Fellow tinkers, mechanics, engineers, crafters, and inventors will provide you with lodging and food if necessary, and pay for your funeral if needed. In some cities and towns, a maker's workshop or hub offers a central place to meet other like-minded tinkers. This can be a good place to meet potential patrons, allies, or hirelings. Such connections might require donations of magic items or monthly dues.
