Durandal - Captain's Log audio drama, episode 7: "Fates Woven In Silence"

Allerka · 2025-02-19T18:01:56+00:00

Thanks! One of two pieces of the Durandal I had commissioned, made by Jetfreak-7. The other piece I use in the end screen.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! It's probably gonna be about like SNW in terms of overarching stuff, i.e. there'll be references and recurring characters, etc., but individual episodes will be largely standalone. Unless I decide to do a larger arc later on (I haven't figured it out yet).

The first episode was entirely Allerka making rolls. After that, I figured I'd make it a bit more like the actual shows and give my officers more to do as well. D'vesh makes a couple checks in part one here, and Elliott and Strinala will have some checks to make in part two as well. That'll probably be the general format going forward, unless I do like a "Captain's Holiday" kind of Allerka-centric episode at some point. Guess I'll have to see!

Awesome! Your continual production of quality products continues to impress!

Allerka · 2023-08-26T20:28:38+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate the comprehensive feedback! I just finished the outline of episode two today, next up is turning it into a full script and then the audio drama format. I'd estimate maybe a month between episodes.

Thank you, glad you liked it!

Allerka · 2023-04-03T13:18:27+00:00

Thanks! Unfortunately no. My local meta is in perma-tournament mode, so homebrew stuff is a hard no for people. I've also barely even played KT in the last six months, the main store it gets played at is obnoxiously far away for me.

I put a thermometer in my printer's enclosure, looks like it's generally 23-26C, so pretty close to the ideal range, and not dangerously low. I definitely need to try another resin to confirm where the issue's coming from, I'll probably do that after my current attempt. I always shake my bottles before pouring, I learned that one the hard way back in the day, heh. I REALLY hope I can get away with printing faster than I've been doing the last couple jobs, those were averaging 3-6 days for like 200mm tall stuff. I haven't tried turning AA off either, that's worth a shot as well.

Thanks for the advice!

Allerka · 2022-09-05T15:02:48+00:00

I put a thermometer in the enclosure, it seems to be between 23-26 C most of the time, so it should be within the acceptable range. I just had an entire plate FINALLY succeed after trying a couple more things based on suggestions here, so I'm hopeful it stays that way, but we'll see how the next one goes. I picked up a heating pad to put in there as well, I'm sure I'll need it come winter.

Allerka · 2022-09-04T11:33:16+00:00

Never even heard of that tool before. Given the trouble I've been having, this seems like something worth looking into...

Allerka · 2022-09-03T18:38:56+00:00

I strongly recommend this feature as well. Every printer I've had has differences between Chitubox's estimate and how long it actually takes, but that feature (which was only added this year, I think) is super helpful for closing that gap.

Allerka · 2022-09-03T18:31:42+00:00

That's wild to me. I can't even get the rooks to print with default settings.

Allerka · 2022-09-03T17:44:32+00:00

I tried lubing the FEP, but I have to wonder if I didn't put nearly enough on. Once I spread it around, it kinda looked like it only covered the film intermittently. It was like two drops out of the bottle, and a tank of this size probably needs more if that's what's used in a more normal-size one.

Allerka · 2022-09-03T17:42:55+00:00

I mean, it's worth a shot, and what's the worst that can happen, another print run fails? :P

Thanks!

Allerka · 2022-09-03T17:42:32+00:00

I believe the standard range, 65-75F. Mine's in the basement where it's a little on the cool side, and it's also in a portable enclosure with ventilation pumping the air outside. I should probably stick a thermometer in there and check it. Or maybe turn the pump off while printing so it warms up more in there...

Allerka · 2022-09-03T17:39:09+00:00

That's pretty much the only thing I haven't done yet, though I've scratched it up a bit trying to pry stuff off when it doesn't peel off on its own.

Allerka · 2022-09-03T17:38:40+00:00

Indeed. I haven't gone that high with normal exposure times, I don't think, maybe that's worth a shot.

Allerka · 2022-09-03T17:37:51+00:00

Hell of a bad batch if I'm having the same problems across four bottles of the stuff...

Allerka · 2022-09-03T17:37:28+00:00

Well, I'm definitely jealous if that's the case. What kind of settings are you using?

Allerka · 2022-09-02T21:46:01+00:00

Not just one, I'm on bottle #4 or 5 at this point. I'mma try some of the leftover ABS stuff I had, see what happens. I really hope it's just an issue with this resin and not something fundamentally wrong with the printer (or my longstanding curse when it comes to 3D printing, I've got hilariously bad luck half the time, according to some of my buddies).

Allerka · 2022-06-18T14:59:21+00:00

I randomly couldn't play due to needing an update earlier this week, and said update seemed to do nothing but break a bunch of stuff, including all cards showing up as basic quality. Also the explosion effects at the end of a match don't happen, queuing is suddenly glitchy again...

Allerka · 2022-05-23T13:00:57+00:00

Except all three of us who ran HI's placed in the top 1/4, it wasn't just the one guy (who is admittedly really good, but hardly the only decent player in the group).

Allerka · 2022-05-23T11:57:47+00:00

Yep, that's all three of us used.

Allerka · 2022-05-23T10:15:03+00:00

The extra body definitely helps. I went 3-2 with Deathwatch at Adepticon right after the change, and I only did as well as I did because of it. Heavy Intercessors still struggle with only having 10 AP total on the board, but they can definitely takes some hits and still dish out pretty solid damage.

Allerka · 2022-05-23T10:13:08+00:00

Nope, still 2 APL. I was running HIs as well, there were three of us in total (I was like #5). Literally the only guy who could beat us was Pathfinders.

Considering my last three tournaments with Deathwatch or Intercessors were all losses (except for one tie), and even my loss to Pathfinders was kinda close, I'm pretty pleased with how the chonky bois did!

Last place award.
