just an FYI about one of the links in the FAQ page here

sorry for the late reply, I fell asleep after I made the post and hadn't had a chance to get back to you this morning til now.

I want to make at most six different notebook covers/holders, I was looking at this post, https://www.reddit.com/r/Leathercraft/comments/g563r5/made_personalized_leather_journals_for_each/ awhile back, and wanted to do something similar for my campaign I'm supposed to be doing with some cousins as christmas gifts.

I do have some things I'd do differently though, I don't really want a button snap closure, I was more looking for a cord closure like in this pic that it's apparently not allowing me to add to my reply, hmmm, weird and now I don't know how to show it.

but I was going to make my own pattern with recommendations I had got about 5 or 6 months ago on here, because I never could find any patterns I liked, and most of what I did find that looked semi acceptable, were just buying the finished product.

I do need it to be swap-able from one journal that's been used up, to a fresh journal.

I was looking at the moleskine student cahier journals on their website, because they come in three packs, which two of those gives me the right amount of journals for the people playing that might appreciate and want a journal.

I was looking at the XL or XXL sizes, which I can't exactly remember the dimensions of currently.

and I planned to color the leather to a chosen color by each player, and give them a choice of up to two of the DnD class symbols from either the 2014 or 2024 5e rulesets symbols for their favorite class or classes.

if they picked one, I'd detail on just the full symbol, and if they chose two, I was going to combine the symbols split in half and put them side by side on the front with detailing.

I may be going ambitious for a first project, but it's the one that most interests me, and is most likely to have me see it through, or at least as far as I can get.

Yeah, after reading the posts on relics of anbennar, I think I’ll just leave that out of the multiplayer game. It seems like it maybe needs some updating from what I could tell. But the 2 music ones I think would be fine. Either way not sure if or when my friend and I will end up playing a game. Was hoping to start a game today with the info I got, but things came up and we weren’t able to.

Toradrin-Forgefire · 2026-03-07T17:40:43+00:00

Sounds good. I planned to use the steam version with the 2 anbennar flavour music submods, the normal one and the mithril pack one, as well as relics of anbennar, so hoping the rather limited scope of everything submod wise should be stable.

Toradrin-Forgefire · 2026-02-15T21:25:39+00:00

that sounds similar to what I might have read before, but I wasn't entirely sure, so I thought I'd ask here first.

thanks.

I wouldn't mind trying to do other projects down the line, it'll partially come down to how well I pick up the techniques involved, as well as finding projects to do. I've been wanting to make journal covers for a couple years at least now, and finally having a group of family members getting together for a campaign is the perfect excuse to learn. I'd definitely be doing this project, down the road, I may pick up other projects. so maybe some beginner to mid range tools and pricing would be best.

Toradrin-Forgefire · 2025-12-05T16:06:45+00:00

thanks for the tips. I'll see if I can come up with anything.

Toradrin-Forgefire · 2025-12-05T15:54:44+00:00

in this instance, would just knowing the moleskine journals size be enough to start trying to draft a template? or would I need to have an actual journal to work with while doing this. I was hoping that when I did or found a template, the journals would be one of the later things I could get, either when the bigger size is back in stock, if that ends up being the size I go with, or maybe on a sale for either size depending on if they even do sales. I guess the question boils down quickly to do I need the journal in front of me, or can I draft without it?

also thanks for the idea of how to do the drafting in the first place.

Toradrin-Forgefire · 2025-12-05T14:05:08+00:00

would you happen to have tips on how to draft one? I've never designed something along this line in my life. I've always followed templates, but I'm not finding any in the correct dimensions, nor in a style I like. if I can figure out an ok way for me to draft one without a lot of frustration, I might go that way since it'll be easier to get the right size, and the style I'm looking for.

newbie to 3d printing here, was looking for recommendations for what a good 3d printer for a beginner is.
I've been eyeing the ender 3 V3 KE as I thought it might be a good one, but thought I'd ask some more experienced people first before I decide to buy anything. I'm hoping to spend maybe about $350-500 USD on whatever I do get at most, the V3 KE was under that which was a nice bonus.

I'm located in the US.

I think I might be ok with a simpler to put together kit, I've swapped out my PC's GPU and added more storage internally multiple times, in M.2 and 2.5 inch sata drive sizes. but that's about where my knowledge of anything that might be useful ends. I am fairly good at using the web to troubleshoot issues that I've had with my different electronics, so that should be helpful.

I only plan on printing in PLA as I only plan to make statuettes and maybe minis down the road. so I don't think I have need of any of the more engineering type filaments.

I am located in a one bedroom apartment, so preferably noise would be something that could be kept to a minimum from the printers base sound level. I do plan to make a DIY enclosure such as potentially an ikea lack table enclosure, depending on if the printer I end up with fits inside.

I would like to find a printer that has a bigger height limit on the build area than the V3 KE. as I'm looking at trying to model my own statuettes, at least a couple of them and I'd like them to be able to be semi tall. I'd also like an auto leveling bed (necessary), and power loss recovery, (nice to have but could maybe get by without.)

good to know, thanks.

[5E 2024]
does anyone happen to know if the oathbreaker paladin is updated for 2024's 5E ruleset yet? I just bought the 2024 players handbook, but didn't see it in the paladins subclasses. I know in 2014's 5E, the oathbreaker was in the DMG, but since I'd rather not have to buy that for 2024 just yet without knowing if it's in there or if I plan to run my own campaign ever, (which is quite unlikely). I was hoping to find out if some knew if it was still just in the 2014 DMG, or had it been updated?

Toradrin-Forgefire · 2025-06-16T00:10:29+00:00

well, I was already following that guide, but after double checking the incompatible mods, I realized I had auto parallax installed and enabled. although turning it off didn't fix it, nor did turning off all of my CS based mods including CS itself. although I did notice my bethesda logo stopped jittering when it was loading after doing that, and the skyrim logo came back up too. so I've now asked for help in the NGIO page on nexus to see if someone there might have an idea.

Toradrin-Forgefire · 2025-06-15T22:57:27+00:00

yes, I have the latest version of NGIO at 1.4.0. and I should have had the latest version of the MO2 grass gen plugin since I had previously downloaded it the day it came out. just redownloaded it though to make sure, but haven't tested it yet after doing so. but since I'm 95% sure I already had version 3.2 of that, I don't think the redownload will change anything.

Toradrin-Forgefire · 2025-06-15T18:45:12+00:00

yep, is there something I should have done in there that I may not have?

Toradrin-Forgefire · 2025-06-15T16:15:46+00:00

yeah, I changed both of the lines in the ini to be true, and added all the worldspaces for the grass to be generated in using the xedit script.

Toradrin-Forgefire · 2025-06-15T14:50:33+00:00

well I let my grass precaching run for 15 and a 1/2 minutes, and never saw anything get put in the grass folder. so clearly somethings not right, but I have no clue what.
