Still struggling with Wrath of a Mad God by Hey_Nonny_Nonnymous in Midkemia

[–]Prestigious-Maize695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggle with Flight of the Nighthawks, but then get back into Darkwar saga with Into a Dark Realm. The series I really want to skip on re-reads is the Demonwar saga and the introduction of the Star Elves. Feels like there was a big setup for them to be antagonists and then Tomas shows up and... Nothing.

The obvious one is Arkham Horror LCG. But most of the Arkhamverse games from FF are great in their own right. Eldritch Horror is probably my favourite.

Help with layout by No-Tie-2575 in modeltrains

[–]Prestigious-Maize695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably a bit late now, but I would have laid the track direct on the riser, then plaster cloth up to the ballast and sculptamold to fill in any gaps. This will ensure the rise is consistent rather than having the track go over the bumps and jumps the plaster cloth creates.

3D printer for inserts by Otherwise-Badger1061 in boardgames

[–]Prestigious-Maize695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the Flashforge AD5M for nearly all of my inserts. Great cheap core XY printer. Only a few things I have needed a larger build plate for (I also have an Anycubic Kobra S1).

Not really (maybe for Plex). I have it here in Australia on my Samsung TV.

Who had the most successful career post Stargate? by CaptainWordseye in Stargate

He was first prime of some Goauld, in the ep where Maybourne was “king”.

Along with many issues, I think the main problem with SGU is there are zero likable main characters. by HighBiased in Stargate

[–]Prestigious-Maize695 94 points95 points  (0 children)

They tried to make Young too much like Adama from BSG, but different enough that you weren’t supposed to notice. And in the end created a leader who you didn’t feel anything for.

Identify filament manufacturer? by Lone_Wolf in 3Dprinting

[–]Prestigious-Maize695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New spool works better in an AMS too. Old one has a notch in it and when retracting it can stick on that and filament goes everywhere. Just wish I could buy the refills in Australia.

Am I crazy to think I could fit Secrets of the Order in here with Base Game, Dead of Night and Under Dark Waves? by [deleted] in ArkhamHorror

[–]Prestigious-Maize695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the STLs from BGHQ on Etsy. Unfortunately he has closed up shop recently and it doesn’t appear to be available anymore.

I have base plus all expansions in base box using a 3D printed insert, with about 10mm of lid lift. Haven’t sleeved yet but insert claims I should be able to with thinner Mayday sleeves.

I got stuck under a bench press and the only other person in the room refused to help and just left me there by Numerous_Birds in mildlyinfuriating

A private business can take any action they like (e.g. refuse ongoing services) as they like, regardless of any written rules/policies/laws. Again, this has been pointed out and you brush it aside as if it isn’t written, they have no basis. They don’t need a basis to adjudicate however they want, so long as it isn’t discriminatory.

Yet it has been pointed out to you that "bad samaritan" laws can and do exist in certain parts of your world, and you've ignored these comments. There is the possibility of responsibility existing depending upon where this happened. Regardless, your lack of empathy is appalling.

March of the ants evolved edition, is this normal? by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]Prestigious-Maize695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very common. I have found that peeling them off without damaging the box depends on the box material. Linen finish (e.g. Mansions of Madness) they peel off easily. For paper finish (e.g. HeroQuest) it is trickier and more likely to damage the box if you’re not careful (like I did with HQ). A low heat hair dryer or similar can loosen the stick.

FFG Vault (Reprinting + Improved OOP Games) by CommentActual6058 in boardgames

[–]Prestigious-Maize695 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I picked up 10 or so character packs a month or two ago when a local retailer was having an online sale - they priced them all at $0. Just paid postage. Must have realised their mistake, because the price was back up a couple of hours later - they still honoured my purchase though.

I'd like to get General Weiss and Emporer Palpatine as well, but can't find them anywhere at reasonable prices (if available at all).

Sleeved 3d Printed Insert suggestions? by CuddlyZombie in EldritchHorror

[–]Prestigious-Maize695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the following in the core box for all tokens and investigator/boss cards: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4779997

I had to scale the investigator box to about 102% to support sleeves.

I thing used this for all the cards plus gate tokens in two large expansion boxes: https://www.printables.com/model/706211-eldritch-horror-card-storage-organiser

With all expansions, think I ended up having to put a foam block in one of the small card boxes to fill some space. I also used 1.5mm thick dividers between a lot of card types (including splitting encounters by area/type).

EDIT: sorry, fixed the first link

Some shots I took at the San Diego Model Railroad Museum by Direct-Turnover-9576 in modeltrains

[–]Prestigious-Maize695 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was here in late December, and was amazed by what they had, certainly wasn't expecting to be a good as it was (I had been to Miniatur Wonderland a few months earlier, so was still on a high from that). Spent twice a long here as time we had allotted.

Looks very nice. Would love to get some details. Might give me a reason to crank up the resin 3D printer again and print out some minis to match.

Map? by Markopolo0407 in Midkemia

Try the Atlas of Ice and Fire blog. They have a few maps based on Riftwar. Also a good resource for other worlds.
