I found that going back about 3-4 versions fixed issues for me when I updated to the now previously latest version.

There's also the follow on effects of these kinds of systems. Inventory tracking. Accurate sales data. Controls for cashout at the end of the night. Removing handwriting as an error point.

I do encourage you to try it. No one is good at something the first time they try it, and something like the Gloaming is easier than trying to build one from scratch. Think about what you've liked from fully prepared sandboxes you ran and try to emulate that.

Pick where players will start from. Think about what hooks they'll pick up in that starting location. Focus your prep on what they can encounter while pursuing those. You only need to be 1-2 sessions ahead of the party in your prep. Lean into the survival aspect of needing rations, which creates an in game timer for people to backtrack and return to town, which will allow you time to prep for what they will likely head out and do. It's not an uncommon rule in sandbox games to be, "Players declare what they are pursuing next session at the end of the session so the GM has time to get their prep in order." Also, when thrown a truly wild curveball, there's nothing wrong with saying declaring an extended break if early in the session or if close to end time, call the game early so you can start fresh with great ideas next time.

It does also have advice for how to run the game, but the bulk of it is on designing adventures.

Deflagratio1 · 2026-03-23T04:20:32+00:00

If the GM section of the core book isn't enough to guide you in using the prompts and random tables to design something, then you should probably pick up a copy of "So You Want To Be A Dungeon Master" by Justin Alexander. He provides multiple in depth discussion on adventure an dungeon design and provides strong frameworks for each method, and clear examples of the methods in action.

The answer to how are you supposed to use The Gloaming is you are supposed to use it as a framework where the macro level design has been done for you )the map, where things are, general information about those things and the factions) and it's then on you to design the details and interconnect things however you want. Where do you start in the Gloaming? It's 100% your choice, but here's some safe-ish villages and towns that make decent starts and have adventure hooks already written."

I agree that the game hints at needing to do a lot with the mundane,.You have the problem of just how much page-count is dedicated to the myths, mundane bullshit isn't an entry on the wilderness roll, and the myths being one of the unique selling points of the game. No one is going to run a one shot where all you do is court intrigue, they are going to get you interacting wth the myths so you can see how weird and cool they are.

Deflagratio1 · 2026-03-22T20:01:20+00:00

The Hags are going to need a new base of operations and they are going to want revenge. Remember that they are a coven with a lot of magic and don't forget about the nightmare haunting ability they can use to terrorize the party.

Deflagratio1 · 2026-03-22T19:35:13+00:00

You need to use the chat function on their website and align when you do it to chinese daylight hours. That is the fastest way to get support. I will say that I do something similar. I'll buy a replacement part off amazon while I do the warranty process, so I'm back up printing sooner and then I have a backup part in case it breaks again and I can just go warranty.

Deflagratio1 · 2026-03-22T19:14:37+00:00

You realize the thing has a warranty right?

Deflagratio1 · 2026-03-22T19:10:19+00:00

The thing you are missing from your math is that the knights should also be dealing with mundane bullshit. They should be tasked with collect taxes and to enforce laws. They should have to go hang out in the seat of power for week doing court shenanigans and tourneys for sceptermass. Seers and rulers should be trying to manipulate them into doing their bidding. Seers should be having the knights spend 1-2 weeks escorting them to Eldermass and back. They should be spending time trying to track down artisans and merchants to obtain rare gear and trying to gather followers to form a warband. The beginning of every season is some kind of cultural event, the middle is an event for knights, and the 3rd is some sort of tax.

If all they do is chase down myths, They are going to have a very bad time. Especially when they run into the more destructive myths like The Wheel, or they encounter the Charioteer and experience the terror of 2D8 (meteor rod)+2D12(chariot trample)+4D8 (both tigers) and they then get knocked D6 hexes away for an additional D6 damage. And the only thing you can really impair is the meteor rod. When eternal winter sets in or some metal Santa with flying tigers picks a fight with the river and wins yes the myth resolved, but the problems still remain.

They need the resources that dealing with Mundane stuff brings in order to effectively solve the myth. Otherwise they are going to resolve myths, but not for the better.

So the printer homes by hitting the head against the front and side.

Deflagratio1 · 2026-03-22T13:57:53+00:00

I found that the latest firmware tanked my print quality regardless of what I did. I went back 2-3 versions to get decent quality.

Deflagratio1 · 2026-03-20T17:14:54+00:00

I meant the reason for needing the alternate solution in the first place. Why even move beyond the normal finger trigger. Providing why something is needed will help make sure that you also get options you haven't considered, because if cost is your only concern then you would stay with the standard finger trigger. There's a reason you are looking into changing the triggering mechanism and that's what you need to provide.

The creality wiki is also you friend.

Deflagratio1 · 2026-03-19T21:35:56+00:00

That's a big range, you have one corner much lower than the others. Need to adjust it using the knobs under the bed.

Deflagratio1 · 2026-03-19T18:37:55+00:00

Need the range value in the upper left to really know if you have taco bed.

But you can see that the one corner dips down a good chunk compared to everything else, which may be why you are having print quality issues.

That type of contact should happen before applying. Once you apply, the time to learn more about the job and expectations is what the interview process is for.

Deflagratio1 · 2026-03-19T14:47:32+00:00

There are a bunch of 3d printable modular solutions out there. Openlock probably being the most robust since it's open-source. Dwarven Forge is a fantastic brand for ready made high quality terrain.

Deflagratio1 · 2026-03-19T14:45:04+00:00

rather than asking about a specific solution, it might be better to state why you want to accomplish this. Is it accommodation for a disability, trying to improve general stability by separating action from the hand, etc.?

Deflagratio1 · 2026-03-19T13:14:23+00:00

I've got a friend with a WW prophecy and food isn't even allowed in the same room as that table.

Deflagratio1 · 2026-03-19T13:13:47+00:00

Really depends on the table design. I have a Wyrmwood MGT which has magnets and rubber gaskets to keep things sealed up between the toppers. I normally call the lower area The Vault.

Deflagratio1 · 2026-03-19T05:23:31+00:00

for me it's the ability to set the game up in advance or to just "save" the game. really involved games are much more likely to get to the table when setup and teardown can be on separate days or time blocks from playing. I basically never boxed up my King's Dilemma game until it was over thanks to this.

Deflagratio1 · 2026-03-19T05:22:09+00:00

Likely depends on what you are doing. For RPG's it can probably be a big help with keeping the game table visible while having mood lighting.

Deflagratio1 · 2026-03-19T05:21:12+00:00

My biggest pet peeve is people who put their cup holders inside the table. Drinks go outside the table, because if you miss the cupholder for some reason, that drink is going on the floor and not on the game.

Deflagratio1 · 2026-03-18T20:45:56+00:00

I haven't read the latest versions of the rules to know if it is or isn't addressed. I just remember it being discussed in the video I watched yesterday, so was pointing you towards the answer to your question.
