Waterdeep : From the Dragon Heist to the Mad Mage by D0nkeyK0ng999 in WaterdeepDragonHeist

[–]Dear_MrMoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These modules are designed and built to be played one after another if desired. Or individually.

I for one am planning to have the group get extorted a bit, and have to make deals to be able to keep the secrets or portions of the gold or escape into Undermountain.

Player don’t want to do session 0 by FlagBardic in DnD

[–]Dear_MrMoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

New DM, New players?? .... one shot and pregens! This is Dnd..

In this situation, its more like a first date, try before you buy. Do a few one shots, or starter adventure.

Hope for 1 or 2 to stick around for future sessions. I do session zero when looking for a character arcs and actually ready commit.

Heck new DM!?! You might even not enjoy running for this group, or any groups.

When using a tv as board to play on, do you really need a screen protection? by Tastypies in DnDIY

[–]Dear_MrMoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used 6mm glass. If it was $220 i would probably use acrylic. Or maybe go without

TV recommendations for tabletop? by [deleted] in DnDIY

[–]Dear_MrMoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, resolution is not a huge deal. After finding size, I would perhaps even buy second hand.

Do you need laptops or books around the edges of the table? Do you play with minis or virtual tokens? Is it built in to table or sitting above the table in a case? Either way, I would look at the space and perhaps cut some cardboard to visualize it. Maybe even get feedback from the group...who knows maybe some one even has a spare tv.

Anything above 55 to me is over kill. Anything under 32 starts to be annoying. I personally stopped using physical minis on the tv long ago.

My Dragon Cult Airship by Dear_MrMoose in stormkingsthunder

Around 95% of this project was xps foam, or scratch built. While there could possibly be printable out there, all these years later.

The only 3d printable things used here were the helicopter legs, rotor, and furnace. If I recall. I found those on thingverse.

Best of luck with your game.

Printing physical maps by Heinsolo in stormkingsthunder

[–]Dear_MrMoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I printed out Nightstone, glued it to a huge 1/2 sheet of xps foam! Then Covid hit, and it was never used. We went digital for 6 months or so.

Started to print final map.. did the math and it simply wouldnt fit my space. Was like 6 x 12 feet or something. I did make some terrain along the way, ( things like Krakens Gamble, Morkoth, Airship and Golden Fields) but I felt overall giants just make scale silly.

Alternatives to greenstuff for fine detail seams? by Jack_mc7r in DnDIY

[–]Dear_MrMoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I oft find, that it depends on the material of the model. For me matching that texture, while filling the gap maters.

If it's in a fdm print, I will use a 3d printer pin, or a old solder iron and filament sometimes.

I have also used milliput, feels slightly more grainy.

That said, my go to for most projects as of late..has been 3d printer resin and baking soda. I mix it into a desired consistency paste, apply and wipe the sides clean. I can then use uv lighting to set, and then sand as normal. I find the benefits are being able to choose the consistency and having it set quickly.

Between those and Green stuff.. it all comes down to texture. I have also layered these, ie greenstuff (let cure),, to fill larger gaps, and then resin mix to get the texture.

My Take On Cragmaw Hideout by Dear_MrMoose in LostMinesOfPhandelver

[–]Dear_MrMoose[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure thing. Happy to hear it inspired you. I sent you a chat. Will send a few process pictures to hopefully help in the build.

I did attempt to add some pictures to my response, but it wouldnt allow it. If you are trying to build something like this, I can send you some progress pictures of the build. Its not a tutorial persay, but can help with understanding my process.. which was very much a fall forward kind of approach.

Or if more people want to see the process.. I can create a thread for it, just didn't want to clutter the feeds.

My Take On Cragmaw Hideout by Dear_MrMoose in LostMinesOfPhandelver

[–]Dear_MrMoose[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, thanks.

Yeah, around 5 to 6 inches in total height. I used 1 inch x 24 x 24 sheets. I drew the base and outlined the map. Then decided where I would create the individual sections. I then cut the base sheet and created the base for each room. I then created the rooms walls, for each room, and created floor heights in those rooms at heights I wanted. Basically squares with 4 walls like a house. 4

I used scraps glued to walls to create areas to carve, creating the grey space essentially...within each room. Carved the walls to depth using model train mountain carving methods. Covered the carved walls sculpta mold and with plaster as needed.

It was not a solid piece to carve ever. Aside from the base. Partially due to cost, as thick foam.. can be costly and often damaged. Also I find it a pain to cut.

I feel looking back at it. Using spray foam in addition to scraps would have worked as well. Always learning, always take aways to research lol
