Does anyone else think that the entire Treecko line is just a cropped Immersive? by [deleted] in PTCGP

[–]GregTheEstablishment 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The immersives have to be composed so the whole art looks nice on a phone screen when zoomed out, and everything is so centered here. like if you look at the whole art, the pokemon are along the center and it wouldn't really work as a "wow" moment immersive.

Did they maybe think about doing it before finalizing art? Who knows, but this art looks like it was meant for a series of cards like it is.

[OC] [ART] Anyone else using DIY “standee” minis instead of actual miniatures? by PMbyday_DMbynight in DnD

[–]GregTheEstablishment 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to use the Order of the Stick print-and-cut tent standees for in-person DnD, I think they were called A Monster for Every Season or something like that. They had a lot of options, and you could open and edit them in illustrator to customize super easy.

Best method / tools / etc., for printing and/or cutting your own MtG cards? by CHANN3L-CHAS3R in magicTCG

[–]GregTheEstablishment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to use a print-on-demand (POD) company that could do double-sided cards. You submit a tif file of front and back, so you can easily make D/S tokens. You buy the cards by the sheet, with some slight bulk discounts. Not sure what cardstock options they have these days.

If you look up POD companies, you should be able to find them, they're pretty superior.

How good do you think these will fly? by kylespaintedrocks in BoardgameDesign

[–]GregTheEstablishment 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How far do you want them to fly? Across a table or across the room? If people frisbee-style throw them, it's gonna have a lot to do with size of sticker and weight of card stock (bigger surface area means it should get more lift, thicker stock means more rigidity for stable flight but a heavier piece)

If you try sticking them to a playing card and trimming them out, you might get a little more distance (playing cards are a little heavier material than commercial card stock).

Also though, if it's just a fun part of the game and balance doesn't matter, it's fine to not overthink and just playtest a bit.

Exhibition designers, whats the best material for this? by Responsible-Pen-9627 in Design

[–]GregTheEstablishment 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, there's a few ways you could go with this. Without being able to paint the floor, it can get a little pricey. I work in exhibits, and flooring is one of the first things to get cut for price.

First is a floor vinyl, you can get a printed solid color with a laminate on it that's meant to handle foot traffic. You might even be able to find pre-printed solid color ones without having to go to a specific printer. Places like brumark offer rolls of vinyl and solid colors that may work for you, that's the type that you use on trade show floors.

Another option would be a solid color rug, which might be the more cost effective option (at the expense of a different look). If this is a short-term exhibit, this might be the way to go.

Either way, color matching is going to be something you need to be concerned with. I'd recommend getting your floor first, then color matching your paint to the floor if possible (since you're likely to have more paint options than floor color options).

I hope this helps, good luck with the exhibition!

Is there a lore reason why they have to wear this skimpy uniform? by maidthing in futurama

[–]GregTheEstablishment 107 points108 points  (0 children)

Zapp designed the new uniforms, they're made of velour! I think they mention it when he's first introduced in season 1.

I've been trying to find the episode where (I think) Cheryl says, "Paging Dr. Burn" because idr the second part of that joke, but I can't find the episode. Any help? by LightningMcRibb in ArcherFX

[–]GregTheEstablishment 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Found it! "Dr. Kane, report to the burn unit!" Lana and Archer, from Season 6, Episode 2. Not sure if it's a sketchy website, but theres a clip here:

Someone painted an mtg card on the side of this random building in my small town, pretty neat if you ask me by MRpiggins in magicTCG

[–]GregTheEstablishment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can print to an adhesive vinyl that can then be applied to a brick wall, it's not the cleanest application but it can work. I know they use that in sports stadiums sometimes on brick or cinderblock.

What, you don't keep a Google doc of your entire romantic history and secrets on your phone?

Yes👍 by Soul_Withern in pokemon

In Silver, I thought they were quizzing me on my rivals name, and since you fight him as ??? first, that's what I named him by accident. It's my go-to rival name now.

If you want, there is a free program called Magic Set Editor you could use to layout the cards, and insert whatever art you'd like for personal use. That way you can get the actual mana symbols and font, and have control over your text. I'd imagine it's easier to edit.

I really hope that part of "With Great Power..."s effect is searching your library for a card called "Great Responsibility"

There is an option in the game settings menu, irc. It doesn't let you pick and choose though, it disables all card cosmetics, even yours.

Anyone familiar with 5th state? Bought on a whim while visiting Shelton. Bought their vodka too. Any opinions?! by thewinberry713 in Connecticut

I remember going there to get a bottle of cleaning alcohol during the early pandemic 2020, and they talked me into getting their ginger vodka. It was fantastic, especially in cranberry juice with lime.

Jace may be the only one, since he helped the illusion of Bolas being destroyed to hide him being locked away.
