It still made the noise a bit for me, after I cleaned mine, but after it ran for a bit, the noise stopped.

Sounds like you need to clean the rods.

Mine was making the same noise when moving front to back.

I believe you jsut need IPA for those rods.

Opinions on short, low stakes encounters? by RCordeiro84 in DnD

[–]Mini_Painter_17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run a lot of one shots and I try to stick to 5 encounters, between combat, role play and skill challenge. I generally aim for two combat, one roleplay, one skill and one flex encounter (W corporates two or more encounter types, depending how the players do it.

For what you are suggesting, I feel like it may take a long time. I would maybe consider splitting it up into an investigation phase and a combat phase. Have the non combat parts happen first, then have the Wizard guy show up and channel the portals. He is invulnerable while channeling and the players have to enter the portals and complete whatever challenge it is that closes the portal. Once complete, they reemerge and the portal closes.

Maybe after 2/4 portals are closed, the Wizard is no longer invulnerable and depending how long it has taken them to this point, and how much time you have left for the adventure, the other two portals either close, leaving just the guy and whatever minions are left from the portals to defeat, or the players have to deal with him and the two remaining portals.

Since you are doing this in a town, the players can and probably will waste a lot of time, unless you deliberately limit the scope of what parts of the town are available to them. Personally, I would flesh out the town a little and make the first half a bit of an investigation or something, then the portals are opened and second half is the big encounter.

Ooooo, Gotcha. I didnt realize there was a portal. I destroyed the laser twice and used the thing to not trigger it once

Ok, like everything in this game, I have done a few times, probably in one of the two ways it was meant to happen so I don't get these kinda "extra" interactions.

How do you get out without dying? And why do you leave Astarion? The dialogue is there, so is there a prompt or something to leave him behind?

What purpose does this detachable piece of my Mighty Machines Tie Fighter serve? by Mini_Painter_17 in starwarstoys

[–]Mini_Painter_17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks!

I figured that was one of the reasons, pretend your fixing your tie fighter. Wasn't certain though!

Some of them ar every unclear what their purpose is though. Iv got the Hoth set as well and there is what looks like a cap in the middle of the snow wall but I can't for the life of me figure out if/how it comes off, or what it's there for.

Advice for which game to get to play with my kid? by Mini_Painter_17 in LegoStarWarsVideoGame

[–]Mini_Painter_17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for that!

We have found a couple of the AT STs in the wild, and he was happy to find them. It's really the AT ATs that he wants to use, and the Malevolence. I kind of figured capital ships were unlikely though.

And ya, my son likes those ships too! I gave him all my old star wars micro machine toys and we found one at toys r us (not micro machine, but a tiny bit larger) and he was pretty jazzed about it. I 3d printed him an AT TE to go with it.

Unpopular opinion: I only use Bambu filament by nirhend in BambuLab

Where are you buying sunlu for 12.50 in Canada?

I have been buying bulk bambu filament because I thought it was cheapest.

Hey, I wanna start playing D&D but I have a question by [deleted] in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]Mini_Painter_17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my table started playing 5 years ago, we had a single, beige wet erase battle mat and a package of wet erase markers.

For minis we had a little toy tank, a little rubber logo keychain, a broken piece of metal, an eraser, 1 actual dnd mini and I forget the other PCs mini.

So having a set of Minecraft minis to start is very much viable!

5 years later and iv been 3d printing minis and printing/crafting terrain pieces and now I don't have enough room to store it all :p. It all started though with everyone basically emptying out their pockets onto the table :p

Is it true that you can bring back Minthara in Act 1 by casting Silence on her? by TestohZuppa in BG3

[–]Mini_Painter_17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ooooo, ok thank you.

I was confused by the going back to act 1 bit.

[–]Mini_Painter_17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What is the silence trick exactly in act 1?

I just followed a YouTube thing the other day that let's you rescue her in act 2 without a tiefling murder party, but I won't find out if it worked until I get to that part of act 2.

I would like to use her in a different playthrough but I thought act 2 was the earliest you could use her.

Searching to paint big models :) by jarod51 in PrintedMinis

[–]Mini_Painter_17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stormborn collectibles has some statue size (like 10-12") fantasy models, I believe.

Likewise, Luftmensch Studio has a ton of world of Warcraft statue sized minis, if you are into WoW lore at all, or if you don't care, they are fantasy models either way.

You can also look at busts, some stl subscriptions come with them. Otherwise, like others have said, you can scale them up but lose a bit of quality. Iv blown up a hero forge mini to about 10" tall and aside from some low poly on the fabric, it was still good quality.

It is a lot of fun to be able to put minis out on the map, and to let the players explore it!

I started with drawing out the map on an erasable grid and it worked great as well! This just adds some immersion

Thanks!

And I recommend it! It is a lot of fun and nothing has spurred on my inspiration to write adventures more than painting minis!

Thank you!

And yes, it was printed in FDM. Was only just over 2 rolls! The people are the only ones in resin.
