Rules Update/Clarification 09-30-08

For crafting smithing items or alchemy for that mater, can the pc carry a few blank item cards so as not to have to walk up to logistics every time they need to make something?

Quoted because I'd like an answer on this as well.  It would certainly be easier for me personally if I could keep blank or unsigned alchemy cards say, in my alchemy chest and simply produce them as I brew potions, rather than having to march to logistics after each sit and grind.

I know there may be other concerns involved (or not, but I'm always a paranoid one), but I'd certainly be interested in talking about a system that both makes life easier without sacrificing proper procedure.  I know a thought that came to my mind was coming up with an "official seal" in the form of a stamp or something that could be used to mark cards.  Don't know if that would even be necessary, but I'm in brainstorming mode, somebody stop me! 

Yes, you may ask for blanks at check-in, to carry with you.

Materials used up in the process of creating an items should be turned into Logistics, or to a Rules or Monster Marshal.  That way, it's been verified that you're actually using the materials (i.e. - if we see a smith make 5 mithril swords, and no one has ever seen him turn in any material cards, there's a problem).

Sounds fantastic, thanks!
