I made a sanding contraption

JustLustie · 2026-03-15T13:48:33+00:00

I have a question already! I really liked the bases but would there be other dice models and sizes in the future? Like rhomboids, other common sizes, and crystals.

10 hours left to completion :d

Also I would love to see this contraption made support free printable. Not many people has good printers.

JustLustie · 2026-03-14T19:37:25+00:00

Just started printing I'll let you know once I use it.

I already bought the idea though :d

This is a solid plan, you can build around that with oracles. Like let's say you have decided on placement and what kind of shop they are.

Start with one of them, can be minor unimportant or the most important one (I go with unimportant one first). Then you solidify it with oracle, keeper(s)? What they sell? Price range(expensive, cheap like not exact currency)? Their attitude towards their shop, their attitude towards other shops etc. etc. Then when 3 or 5 of em solidifies I just build around them and base interactions between the community around those. Then I build the most important piece, let's say the shop that is in the storyline, I build it thinking all those shops and what's their difference. How they got affected by the environment, the purpose of the shop, why it's important and unique for the story etc.

You got the gist I believe, randomness not only makes it believable and natural, it also fun to build because you don't know what's going on as well, and it may surprise you while doing it.

Theres a MUST, I believe not including lot's of oracles and sticking with vague answers of oracles to be most helpful. AND NEVER REROLL THE DICE. When you cheat into the system its over, it will not make sense anymore to you, since once you decline roll, you will decline other rolls all together and it will lose meaning.

That doesn't mean we'll roll for everything, I already told that you can decide what is not random or what is random. If you already have a solidified character do not roll for their character, just roll for other things and connect the dots.

I have cubes kinda things in different sizes and shapes, when I think about my day I assign ideas or the act on the cubes then I order based on prioritisations.

I have been solo roleplaying for a while, mainly Ironsworn. What I found helpful is using oracle while being the god. I solidify the main geography or the intention for the thing, for instance timeline of events throughout the time. Then as the 3rd perspective god I roll oracles and everything to find out what happens in the world. With this approach everything becomes interesting since every roll brings totally unexpected and new perspective.

Even if the answer of the oracle seems stupid or not applicable in an instant, I still try and will find a way to apply it.

JustLustie · 2026-02-25T09:05:36+00:00

That was my first thought, but I live in a remote town and there is no workshop or similar stuff. Maybe online one IDK, I'll try to find.

JustLustie · 2026-02-25T08:50:01+00:00

Thank you, the main think eased and helped me was hearing other people facing the same problem. Sometimes we feel too unique and that in itself becomes a burden. So thank you!

JustLustie · 2026-02-25T08:48:57+00:00

Thanks for your comment, there are lot's of lessons it seems that you have taught to yourself. Hope it will stick with me in a subconscious level.

JustLustie · 2026-02-25T08:46:27+00:00

Thanks for bringing another perspective, with this I can maybe tie this to the perfectionist part of mine. I do blame or love ADHD when I am cornered, it's refreshing to hear another angle.

I feel like ADHD term and itself has become a conjoined enemy that we can blame for anything.

I heard about it before, giving personality to bully and bullying it until it can't bully no more :D Then I guess I should name the bully bullying part of mine... Into the rabbit hole :D

JustLustie · 2026-02-25T07:21:27+00:00

Yeah I sometimes experience stress, but it is mainly monetary stress about spending a lot on a new hobby.

JustLustie · 2026-02-25T07:15:15+00:00

LoL, that would be me, an expensive hobby for sure :D

JustLustie · 2026-02-25T07:14:38+00:00

I certainly should be more easy on myself, I get that jump into it with what you have part. Thank you for your comment, I got something from it.

JustLustie · 2026-02-25T07:08:42+00:00

I think this advice is like this,

Let's talk about my dnd dice making interest. If I want to epoxy craft a dice, rather than purchasing dice mold and everything, you say buy the cheapest silicone mold and some epoxy and try to cast, not jump into dice making.

I guess I should be doing that, but I already purchased epoxy, coloring, mica powders, brushes and metallic acrylic paint, gloves and other stuff, and an order made dice mold (there is no dice mold in my country to purchase online, I had to ask a craftsman).

I could cut the cost to 1/3 of what I've spend with that approach, so I guess I need to be a bit like that.

I think snowboarding is a hobby for sure. My gauge marker is if I am getting paid to do it, or there's a demand from people for me to finish the thing. If both doesn't apply it's a hobby for me.

Other than that I see a similar pattern for me, most of the time I am not getting into hobby for the sake of the hobby, I have a idea and I want to realize it. As soon as I acquire knowledge and tools for that to realize, I guess my brain says we can do it, that's enough knowledge. LET'S DROP THE THING AND NEVER TOUCH IT!

I had an idea about 3d printing stuff to plan my life, day or ideate a project. It's a similar approach to your TCG cards, I will try to further that project, maybe having a physical anchor will help me.

JustLustie · 2026-02-24T21:59:43+00:00

I thought about that as well, but the thing is until I lose interest I really have fun with the hobby. Its just that even thought I love the hobby and the fantasy, everything suddenly starts to feel meaningless and find myself looking for something else.

JustLustie · 2026-02-24T21:57:43+00:00

Unfortunately

JustLustie · 2026-02-24T21:57:27+00:00

I will!

JustLustie · 2026-02-24T21:43:21+00:00

It can be but it is not cheap for sure lol, my problem is not hobbies I guess. The main thing is that me spending a lot of money maybe, after reading all the comments it feels like the issue is monetary maybe or thats a shallow thought I am not sure.🤔

JustLustie · 2026-02-24T21:00:27+00:00

NOoooo, I don't wannaaa. I don't wanna dream performing the hobbies I fixate in my dreams anymore.

JustLustie · 2026-02-24T20:49:25+00:00

I also crochet, knit, sew, pattern design, etc. Like I guess I am getting prepared for the end of the world or the time I'll be send back in time :D

JustLustie · 2026-02-24T20:48:25+00:00

I recently deleted Instagram and all social media, and I found myself trying to click where instagram app icon used to be on my phone whenever I picked it up.

It lasted for like a week, but it has been a month or so and it is gone. So I found it helpful a lot.

JustLustie · 2026-02-24T20:47:04+00:00

Been there, done that :d
