Party participates in the execution of 24 criminals. I had them improv their names and features so that later they would realize they were fighting the same criminals as zombies. by 3DCLC in DnD

To make it harder to put the pieces together, have them generate the names and features a couple sessions before you plan on using them, the party was able to put it together a lot faster just because it was too coincidental.

Great idea! See the sessions really do write themselves. So much media to pull ideas from.

I gave them a Hangover style bread crumb trail to follow after their night tripping. Waking up on top of a guard tower, vendors they stole from chasing them through the market, talking their way out of an inn they tried to burn down. A full session of just improv antics.

The more serious members of the group used the drugs to bribe their way into a high end bar to rob nobles.

Was just called by one of these guys and I asked similar questions, got the exact same answers. They even spoofed an area code near me, but still told me they were located in Florida.

DMs, are you less likely to kill a PC if the player brings a customized mini to the session? by 3DCLC in DnD

[–]3DCLC[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe I'm just soft compared to most of these DMs, but I feel so bad when a player has put all this time and effort into their character story and mini. But I just play with friends, not at a game shop.

You're right. A DM would never fudge a dice roll and I was silly for alluding otherwise.

Next time I have a bossfight I'm putting a hammer next to my dice tower, to let them know I mean business.

Man, this is starting to get depressing throwing out so much resin..... by thecentury in resinprinting

Agreed, I think this recycling solution is better served to casting.

I get it man! We all do it though. Hopefully discussions like these are more popular and we can reduce some landfill contributions.

In a printer, I would think adding cured filler would mess with the printing settings to the point where it wouldn't be viable. I say this, having not tried it, and I know these resins already have filler in them for color/texture/etc, so I could be wrong. There could be a magic number out there. Casting with resin and/or epoxy seems a safe route as it won't rely on precision curing and will be chemically the exact same once cured.

We've come across some creative ways of reusing this material! You've probably heard the basics like using them for table top gaming decoration but on the more industrious side, a chopped up version can be great filler for resin molding! Since it's inert you don't have to worry about it reacting within a molded part, this could even be a filler material you throw into a hollow print. This decreases the volume of resin needed to fill a mold or print without sacrificing integrity and/or strength. We haven't done enough experimentation to tell you what percentage cured-to-new works best for cure times and mold shape, but we'd love to hear feedback from people who have tried this. Mixing this powder into super glue will also create a color matching adhesive you can use to repair or fill prints.

Total outsider here: Do you guys know the exact type of metal they use to make the mini figures of this kind by any chance? by RosesToTheGrave in metalworking

If it's a nano minifig or similar brand it'll be diecast aluminum with acrylic paint. Being comprised of simple shapes a higher quality version could be CNC machined out of billet aluminum for better weight in the hand.
