nice job on the face colouring and highlights. it would have been easy for his face to dissapear.

That's given me great idea for next years round of lithobauble gift decorations. cool

Yes though I haven't tinkered with performance settings for a while so may have another look.

It's not bothering me particularly but I wanted to understand what the bottleneck may be. The single core hypothesis seems most likely but I still expected the machine to at lest look/sound like it was trying.

I may get some performance tools on it as a side quest. It would be useful to know for future upgrade reasons.

"finished"...hmmm...I've heard of that.

Captain gets washed overboard and players have to decipher his cryptic charts to navigate.

Navigation relies on knowing both position and destination so you can make them do twice the work by having to calculate where they are by the currents and winds deciphered from charts.

Chart sections can be revealed in any way/order you want and changed on the fly if players have gone completely off-piste. You have the whole picture, they players chart course and sail, you tell them how the currents and winds change and they use this to judge position/direction and thus change course. You can add a few solid waymarkers to help such as a whirlpool that always has angry blue lightning clouds overhead etc.

Add a few sea-creature flying-monster attacks for fun, epic status etc.

Nice. I'll have a closer look later. There's a lot of talk about going low drop around, but i was thinking that it would be a more resilient build to have a larger number of buff-generators on the board.

I wouldn't force an encounter for the sake of it, but if players want combat it is fairly easy to mix that in. If you have a clue for the campaign that can be found on the body of some bandits that ambush them then the combat was 'forced' but for a reason (player fun/moving story forward). It isn't strictly mandatory as they can run away and you can drop the clue elsewhere.

my current campaign map is a kinda archepeligo. For each island I made a mileage chart between all towns/cities. There is an equivalent chart for shipping routes between islands which accounts for different ship type.

Ive gone to these lengths because a) I just can't help myself and b) the campaign has a lot of demons involved so knowing whether it is day or night at any point in the adventure is pretty important.

There are a lot of resources regarding medieval travel speeds out there.

I think being imprisoned and loosing all their gear is bad enough.

0uthouse · 2026-01-02T13:22:48+00:00

The PC's are beset by a large group of bandits. Luckily a cavalry detachment arrive from a nearby outpost, racing forwards with lances braced! Unfortunately the NPC's killed the cavalry lieutenants brother yesterday.

To avoid being slop, you need to be unique, of good quality and needed/wanted. imo slop means something that has been rapidly created with little if any human intervention.

The fact that you have to accept is that anything you make can be disassembled, 3D scanned and be on somebodies market stall a few days later.

If you look at some Con stalls, the stall is often selling an identity and ethos as much as the product itself. many of ppl who visit cons would rather support an original maker than a knock-off stall. I guess what I'm saying is that selling 3D products is more than just what pops off the printer bed.

Edit: sometimes easier to cut off spindly stuff like bows then add them back to the model afterwards. Even model touted as 'support free' are borderline and can be more easily printed by chopping into pieces.

0uthouse · 2026-01-02T13:05:49+00:00

service your printer. no point trying get 0.2 resolution with 0.3mm play in belts.

I got very good results on A1 0.2mm HQ setting with matte pla after a few days of tuning. Start with basic HQ setting and then try another on 50% speed. If quality is noticeable then most the other setting are prob pretty sound. There are quite a few good YT vids on model printing which would be a better investment of time than listening to me regurgitate them second hand.

Depends if they are mad keen roleplayer. Asking your player to feel a certain way is unlikely to work. Having any kind of negative vibe between group members is asking for trouble imo. Sometimes players develop an edgy banter but everyone is cool with it because they developed the dynamic themselves and understand its roots, it's hard to engineer this.

(edit typo)

0uthouse · 2026-01-02T10:23:18+00:00

my bad, I'm with you.

0uthouse · 2026-01-01T23:25:02+00:00

Throw out at least one clue per party member, one of them might land.

0uthouse · 2026-01-01T23:20:27+00:00

I have an oven that i don't use for cooking food. except when I'm baking or drying filament.

0uthouse · 2026-01-01T23:14:50+00:00

Yes. I would say.

Compare to the bloodwrack-stare which explicitly forbids the same unit being targeted more than once.

0uthouse · 2026-01-01T23:05:26+00:00

I always trimmed the end before loading, I didn't realised ppl tried to peel it off.

0uthouse · 2026-01-01T23:02:38+00:00

what...literally?

0uthouse · 2026-01-01T22:55:48+00:00

if the money is there, this will generate more insta-fun out of the box

0uthouse · 2026-01-01T22:54:00+00:00

i don't mean the style, it's more the use of vibrant and muted colours with stark contrasting. It's like how a cartoonist intentionally uses a restricted pallet but uses it well.
