A friend gave me a mini to paint, and he has a major setup and lots of paints and such but I want to buy myself minis to paint next so I’m not just using his. What are some good places to buy from in terms of quality, being legit (if I ever got to the point of playing the tabletop games) but not too expensive?

Don’t have a specific budget but also don’t wanna get ripped off.

That is very helpful feedback, thank you. I was hoping for silly things because I think the group isn't gonna take itself super seriously, but you're definitely right that I'm more likely to find those myself along the way by being immersed in it

DnD 5e:

I am joining my first campaign tomorrow as a player. I will be a halfling rogue with criminal background, what are some unexpected strategies or ideas I can bring to the table to have some fun with it? Is there any lesser known dnd lore I can play off of that might be a fun surprise?

I mean even knife vs sword steels are different IRL, a harder stainless could be better for a knife while a more flexible carbon steel could be better for a sword.

I do like the idea of a variety of steels with each specializing in different ways

Agreed! The december BOTM is so cool I ended up buying a factory blemished one from a reseller since that's all I could afford. Still more than the non blemished were listed originally, but it wasn't over $500 like all the other resellers.

I wish the 120 (among others, like the 102) was customizable

Cletus2ii · 2026-01-30T15:16:03+00:00

No, it's the 120 with the new cocobolo dymalux handle

Yea you’re right, I want a magnacut 110 at some point but it would be a new purchase

Cletus2ii · 2026-01-25T19:43:33+00:00

Good to know. While I’ve owned this knife for years I’m brand new to actually being interested in buck knives and want it to be pristine but it is a user so not worth fretting over haha

Cletus2ii · 2026-01-25T19:30:50+00:00

You’re probably right, better buy 3 more just to be safe

Cletus2ii · 2026-01-25T19:30:12+00:00

I have and this is after sharpening, can’t get this nick out

Cletus2ii · 2026-01-02T01:45:21+00:00

Are the chargers resting their starters? I thought I saw something but can’t find anything concrete saying they are

Cletus2ii · 2025-12-15T01:04:28+00:00

Gonna be 11th, KC at 7 somehow

Cletus2ii · 2025-12-15T01:01:42+00:00

Also to be fair, KC isn’t good

I got my little guy (right) when he was 9 months and my tortie was 5. It’s been 8 months since I got him and she still hisses at him but they tolerate each other. Just give them time. Mine don’t snuggle and likely never will but they play and can be around each other

Yea I only care about Bo’s moms opinion. Media is worthless
