In everyday play
Work in Vessel is carried out through labours. You read the situation, make choices between stages and see what your approach produces.
Learn through doing
Get to know your tools and places of work on Brackenholm. A labour asks you how to proceed rather than demanding a quick reflex. Pay attention to the situation, choose your approach and let each stage finish.
Felling a tree
Felling starts with reading the tree: how it leans, the wind in its crown and what stands where it could fall. Then you choose which way to drop it and how to cut it. It comes down the way your choices sent it, on whatever is below, so look before the last cut. A felled trunk is too heavy to carry and is cut into logs where it lies, and logs are hewn into planks at a bench.
Think about usefulness
A tool, a meal or supplies for a journey can matter to someone else. Look at what people need and consider where your work could help. A dependable craftsperson can become known through that work.
Experiment for yourself
The wiki explains the place of craft in the world, without cataloguing materials or giving exact recipes. Discoveries and the knowledge you earn from them belong in play.
