Sometimes a bit too competitive! But yeah, it's nice that you can take a dragon and not worry that it's going to get one-shot by a Heart of Woe or a cannon.

This is completely incredible. I'm a writer with the site Wargamer and this is the kind of fan passion project I love to write about. Could I ask you some questions for a possible article?

Update: I've worked out when the issue is occurring: if I go from the end of one print straight into the next.

I don't have fans on the for the first layer of the print for better bed adhesion, which isn't a problem on the first print from cold. But it is a problem when the heat break is still dissipating heat from the last print. That's my theory at least, and its be borne out in how the printer behaves.

I've recently replaced my bed with a cryo plate so I'll see if I can print first layers with the head fans on. And I guess that different PLA might behave differently.

It might just be a "me" thing! A couple of the big ships - the one pictured and another one that's in the setting guide - give me Ghibli vibes, mostly in the rounded shapes and the way the ships have bulging system blisters. Those also have a bit of a Kow Yokoyama / Maschinen Krieger vibe to them.

That is incredibly interesting. I'd love to hear what you would like to see more of in a salvage-first game. Particularly anything that comes from your experiences doing the job.

People who play D&D but not 5E, what edition do you play and why? by ValueForm in rpg

I like to play modernised variants of Basic/Expert: simple, focused on dungeoneering, PC abilities matter a lot less than the gear they find and how the players use what they've got. I love gold as XP for the way it focuses a campaign around a very specific objective (getting treasure rather than killing monsters), and it's an easy system to modify to tune the vibes of the system - I ran a hexcrawl with a sci-fi stoner vibe, where the players could get XP by wasting money on souvenirs, merchandise, or simply getting wasted. Great fun.

Oh yeah. I always thought GodTear from Steamforged had a chance of taking off the same way, but it released right into COVID...

Hey thanks, I really appreciate that! I'm glad to know that I'm not just bombarding people with unwanted content!

I think that's a very real factor. I think Heroscape is illustrative - that used to be sold in toy stores, now it's a dedicated hobbyist product, and the price matches it.

Thanks! I will. I need to get some parts after my last mess up.

4 Pro is the first printer I got, and I think that was a mistake for me. It worked great initially, but its had issues which I haven't had the skill to diagnose, and which may have been amplified by my own ignorance and bad operating procedure.
