Special Materials IMP post

Adamantite "found only in meteorites and the rarest of veins in magical areas"
This project is an attempt to obtain more adamantite:
Purpose 1: Mine the Elemental Plane of Earth
Purpose 2: Man special crews to retrieve adamantite from asteroids, rather than waiting for them to smack into a world.
Purpose 3: Enchant areas with extreme amounts of magic in an attempt to artifically create adamantite.

Darkwood "rare magical wood"
Purpose: Breed and grow Darkwood trees

Dragonhide "works with hides of dragons"
Purpose: Breed dragons or other reptilian creatures that shed skin as tough as dragon hide

Alchemical Silver
Purpose: Make a version of silversheen, a minor wondrous item, that is permanent when applied.

The Astral Settlement and Earth Excavation Project:

The gnomes are at it again. This time they're building real estate in the astral plane. How are they doing this? Simple. They're opening an extended portal to the plane of earth from the astral plane. They bring the earth through the portal and shape it into islands. They then use the lyre of building to build on the island.

This sounds interesting...

But it seems to me that stuff like this (space mining and settlement of other dimensions) would fit better into a science-fiction setting than into fantasy. :)

Allright, skip all the portal stuff. Simply find a two way color pool into and out of the astral plane and then you won't have the gp and xp cost. Control access, make a reasonable profit.

For the Astral Real Estate project you could have the gnomes build on demand. This would include astral island dwellings to full blown cities with castle.

"Need that special place to retreat to when unexpected interlopers trample through your Prime Material dwelling? We have the experience and ingenuity to make your home away from home a dream come true and very affordable with our low monthly payment plans starting at just ..."

Are the Mercane backing this? Are the gnomes extraplanar or other planar variant?

Step 1: Collect UNDERPANTS!!!!
Step 2: "Gnomes looking at each other uncertainly"
Step 3: PROFIT$$$$$!!!

Ah, that would fit in with my kingdoms for sale idea. For a low price, a trio of inevitables would be relocated to keep order in the kingdom and mete out justice. I can only imagine how the lichqueen would take armies of inevitables who kill liches.
