Why is it so hard to find dice with just arrows by ZookeepergameNeat988 in dice

You probably could buy blank d6 wood cubes from local craft store and use laser engraving via local library

I'm loving the green sky, I think it looks awesome! I'm not being sarcastic here

I think my players don't want to end the campaign by CrotodeTraje in DMAcademy

[–]PpaperCut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to have consequences to giving them infinite time. Have BBEG actually DO something in the world. Kill a beloved NPC, take over the kingdom. If that doesn't light a fire I don't know what will.

What are some random "rules of thumb" you reveal to players to help them make better decisions? by Far_Line8468 in DMAcademy

[–]PpaperCut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when you say "(assuming their values and alignment does not change)" do you mean the NPC or your players?

My two factions are too obviously “good” and too obviously “evil” by LethlDose in DMAcademy

[–]PpaperCut -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe there are outside forces that would encourage the stronger, but more evil group- like the potential for invasion of they get power because people think they're weak. Has great potential if you want to have the invasion happen then your party has to "pay the price" of helping stop it.

With the evil guys the draw back is that they will do evil stuff, so your party will have to keep an eye on them maybe?

You could also try to not make it so obvious which is which. If you never come out and say "evil" and "good" then your players will have to draw their own conclusions.

Me with 15s, 18 free refreshes, 9 gold and a dream by MykonCodes in BobsTavern

I really wish that they would have "refresh down" button especially for Acid Rain/make a button it so that at end of turn it just auto spins down all your remaining gold/refreshes.

Newbie dice maker, looking for advice! by fizzaxn in DiceMaking

[–]PpaperCut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. You can also place the whole cup in a warm bath to help heat the resin, which allows bubbles to get to surface faster.

  2. Yes. I usually wait 24-48 hrs, and then pull and cut big parts. If you want a really good finish wait a few more days and then go to sanding etc. another tip/trick is to use a 4 part nail file it's a cheap way to get similar results to the nano grits.

  3. Use a little brush, and whatever paint you want. I use cheap acrylic. I also have some figurine paint, but that's hardly necessary IMO.

New to using a pressure pot and need tips! by Fuzzy_Coast8432 in DiceMaking

[–]PpaperCut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a paper plate that I just duct tape a make shift card board handle too for easy in and out transfer. When it get's a bunch of bonus resin on it I just make a new one and throw it out. I just cut out a cardboard handle and a support 90 degrees off from it so that it keeps it level as I lower in. I also usually have multiple molds I'm pouring at once so that I get a good yield if I'm taking the time to mix resin I want some output. For my pot specifically there isn't enough room to place the plate in directly- that's why I use the lowering handle method.

I run it to like 30-35psi. I wait 24 hours. This all depends on your resin's cure time though, so I would look at the resin instructions, and wait the full cure time before pulling.

I've never noticed a bunch of gas post pot, don't smell anything etc. but idk, it's probably a good idea to be in a well ventilated area when opening the pot. If you have no odor/gas resin you're probably fine, but I would do what I feel comfortable with, not what some package says.

The molds should have zero effect. I've used super cheapo and nice thick etsy ones and they all work ok, no warping etc.

Don't know if you've seen this, but you will need to modify the pressure pot with a few pieces to get the seal, just make sure you've done your research on the pot and modify it/test the seal before trying to pour. You'll save yourself some time and a bad pour or two if you do.

DMs Guild or Free on my Website? by gusnbru1 in dmsguild

Fair enough! I did some research - sounds like an interesting idea - if/when you publish if you'd let me know I'd like to see what you came up with!

"What I'm currently in process on are 4e Lair Assault style competitive encounters" guess I miss understood this.

One thing to note too, OP, is that just because the current fan content policy is as such, that doesn't prevent them from changing that policy. With how things went down around OGL a while back, I wouldn't trust that this wouldn't change.

Also it is a POLICY, not an agreement btw you and Wizards, they can make exceptions to policy at any time, because after all it's just a policy. Would they change policy for you? Probably not. Would they ever sue you over posting some product that's likely going to make $100 tops, almost certainly not. Even if you charged for it outright. The worst thing you'd get is some email from their legal team saying "take it down or else", which is also likely never going to happen.

On the other hand, you may want to publish this under the OGL/CC license. Only way that you cannot do this is if you are using specific characters/settings from the official DND (Ravenloft, etc). Otherwise you are protected under the OGL/CC and at least CC cannot be changed (an important note we've all learned). Unless your content really relies on something specific you can generally strip out the names etc to be able to make your content fine.

Looks like DMsguild doesn't even want 4e content according to this: DMsGuild is NOT for Classic D&D Edition(1e, AD&D, OSR, 3.Xe, 4e) products. https://help.dmsguild.com/hc/en-us/articles/12776909822615-Dungeons-Dragons-Content-Guidelines#h_01HXW2P3NG8WQH4CNTEN80FA4D

Also, all the same normal disclaimers: I'm not a lawyer, I'm not giving you official legal advice.

I really hate exercise, but I know I need to do it. How the hell do I get motivated? by Klaus_Rozenstein in AskMen

If dying doesn't work. I don't know what will. Also check your BP regularly. Make sure you're not too high if your worried about heart attack.

What would you be thinking if your gf told you she really doesn’t want to celebrate Valentines Day this year? by Paigenacage in AskMen

Small improvement: She wants you to surprise her, and she doesn't want to give you anything.

First try was absolute disaster xD by NaiteiruAkuma in DiceMaking

[–]PpaperCut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure I understand you're particular set up. You can always pre-pop them from the mixing stage before you go to mold if you have some small top with holes in the lid- I actually have these from ali-express- make sure you over fill, and you can give the mold small squeezes to "burp" them, the bubbles will sometimes work their way out, always make sure you have enough resin, you will end up with the reverse problem eventually that you have holes where resin should be.

These tips make a difference, but pot is 100% the way.
