EDIT(2): This was also part of the reason why I said that I was willing to pay for the lands and sleeves myself, haha. I didn't want someone else to have to bear that cost and me not fulfill my end of the bargain. But I promise you that you'll have a set worthy of drafting, one way or another.
Oh, I must have missed your saying that, haha. You want to buy me the printer ink when I run off a few hundred cards?
In any case, I'm eager, but there's not an actual hurry. I guess I'm just wary of perfect being the enemy of the good, heh.
I'm one of those folks mostly in the moral support camp (I don't think my workmanlike Javascript skill will be of much use with these highly sophisticated Lua etc. programs), but I am laying the groundwork to run a draft with some of my locals once a playable set is generated! So when somebody gets to that point, a guide on how many to print of each card would be of use to me.
Kudos to all you folks laying the groundwork for such an entertaining and fascinating diversion! Following the resources and instructions from this thread, I was able to get a successful run on the first try. Not much in there is very exciting, but I ran most steps with defaults, so it's a good start!

# The very first card in my test output! Not very green in style, and undercosted, but legit!
Chile of Rendwood 1G

Starting with you, each player puts a +1/+1 counter on Chile of Rendwood.
# If it were "on a creature of their choice," it'd be a cute multiplayer card.
Magiswing Blizzarge 1UB

# Needs the "until end of turn" bit and a reveal; otherwise pretty sweet.

But those of course are the cherry-picked coherent ones. More looked like this:
Nipher Craw Unicorn 1U
Creature ~ Merfolk Wizard
Bestow G
Sastivatier creatures of the cards he or she owns exiled with Nipher Craw Unicorn.
When Nipher Craw Unicorn dies, put a 1/1 colorless pestront ~ speath 2R
When Nipher Craw Unicorn enters the battlefield, Nipher Craw Unicorn deals 2 damage to target player. If you control a forest, sacrifice Nipher Craw Unicorn.

EDIT: What's considered a good (or at least acceptable) training loss value? It'd make tuning my parameters easier if I can abort upon seeing too high a loss.
I keep getting gateway timeouts. Keep trying and hope for the best?

What are the current barriers to set generation? The discussion of skeletons and whatnot seems to have died off over the last week or so.
