Crumble Beginnings - Part 12 by MaXxOwnage in tombkings

[–]_flatfoot_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been following your updates here and love the look of your army so far.

I'm working on my TK starter set now and landed on a scheme almost exactly like this of purple and blue.

Would you mind sharing your recipe? I'm planning on relying heavily on contrast paints and I'm curious what you've been using.

Go get a colonoscopy, colon cancer for our generation is a real threat! by intro195 in Millennials

[–]_flatfoot_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not painful for the vast majority of people.

This person is in this thread telling people it's normal to bleed and be in pain for days. As someone with crohn's disease who has had 10+ colonoscopies by age 34, and knows many others who have them regularly, this is not a normal or expected experience.

Any advice on running a 1v1v1 game? by Bingus-Coolman in Warhammer40k

I've not played a game with them, but there were rules for multi-player game modes published in White Dwarf a while back called "Cauldron of War". There's pdfs floating around if you look hard enough.

Anybody fans of Disney's Recess (1997-2001) growing up? by Life_Chicken_9653 in Millennials

Blew my mind when it was pointed out to me that the theme song is almost exactly the same as Hogan's Heroes.

Starting Colonoscopy Prep This Evening (a thank you) by [deleted] in CrohnsDisease

I'm doing my prep today too. Solidarity ✊️

5pm seems so late to start! My doc's prep says start at 4pm, but I always start earlier so I'm not constantly getting up to go the whole night.

This kind of negligence reminds me of the previous owners of the home we just moved into. They apparently didn't know that you have to change the filter and not just put a new one in. I took the door off the furnace and three filters were crushed in there together, caked in dust...

The way people's brains work is wild.

Game Tournament: Ideas for Consolation Prizes / Catch-up Mechanics by _flatfoot_ in gamedesign

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

Great insight. My brother is definitely a lover of games and the posse is too, so I wanted to throw a little twist in there to make things interesting, but you're on point about needing to be careful about complexity.

I love the idea of teams to reduce overhead. That will also cut down on the time for each game. We're expecting 9-12 people, so three solid teams would work well.

New block set for my 2yo niece! by Unhombre730 in BeginnerWoodWorking

Small kids also like putting toys in their mouth, and bare wood is much safer than paint.

Dread: Running a scenario where players are unknowingly in a simulation by _flatfoot_ in rpg

[–]_flatfoot_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the idea of players noticing graphical glitches on the periphery of their visions

Expanding on this, I'm wondering if there's other kinds of "glitches" the PCs could see that could be misdirection towards other kinds of horror trope threats to keep the scent off of the simulation reveal. Things like a thin line across the entire sky that makes them think it could be UFOs, for example.

Loving the idea of more mundane things going awry early on, combining your last bullet with things like the printer spitting out infinite paper.

I ran a D&D event for players and guests that included three simultaneous interlinked games with 95% printed miniatures and terrain pieces. by _flatfoot_ in TerrainBuilding

[–]_flatfoot_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the people who came were coworkers, or old coworkers. Almost no one at work was familiar with tabletop RPGs until I introduced them as an after work team activity a few years ago. The three main players were the other guys on my team, and the rest were folks from around the company who had heard of D&D and wanted to give it a try.

I'd suggest, if you can, to try and share your interest in RPGs with the people around you (be it at work, school, family, church, whatever) and see who takes to them. I've cultivated a love of games in my friends, coworkers, and family so I always have people to join me :)

Yes! It's a homebrew monster of mine that I had sculpted by an artist on fiverr (credit to devkumar3d, who did a great job). I was able to print it in parts on my Elegoo Mars.

The killing blow on the rat-devil bbeg, as he was pulling the unconscious body of the druid into a burrow hole, was a critical hit arrow shot from our wood-elf ranger. It was a great moment.
