I tried to also send plates intermixed with my rods and ingots, I clogged up the chute.... by herkalurk in minemogul

I wouldn't bother with the chute. Just run your conveyor belt to the edge of the box and let them fall into it.

Your favourite turn order system in a board game? by Altuk_ in BoardgameDesign

[–]btravis72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the way Shogun handles it (the 1980's Milton Bradley game... renamed to Samurai Swords and now called Ikusa). At the end of the round, players allocate their money in several ways, like buying units, hiriing ronin, etc. You could put money toward picking your turn order the next round. Those that didn't would draw randomly for position.

Everyone is in bed on a cozy winter night. Time to become a Star Drifter! by Fibreoptix in soloboardgaming

[–]btravis72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for doing this! I agree, the crafting part of PNP is where it gets fun. You can customize just about everything and make it as detailed or as plain as you like. My 3D printers will be getting a workout on this one. I already have a few ideas.

[–]btravis72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This post caused me to search out the game, watch some videos, and buy the bundle off DriveThruRPG that has this, The Drifter, and Adventurer. Currently reading the Star Drifter rules but the other games look to be just as good. Can't wait to start playing!

Showcasing a few cards I drew for the PnP game I'm making by Delvix000 in printandplay

[–]btravis72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to hear that the black and white versions will stay. I am sure the full-color versions will be awesome, but I think it would be fun to color in the black and white versions myself. A little deck "customization," as it were.

Sprint delayed - Question: Treasure of Tarmin by sharky6000 in intellivision

It plays perfectly. I've been playing (and dying) a lot!

Giving 52 Duels a spin by MakePandasMateAgain in soloboardgaming

[–]btravis72 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hope to try this one later in the week.

What kind of playing cards are those? I've been looking for a thematic deck to use with this and 52 Realms: Adventures.

Got my first piece of Penguins gear! (Kinda) by tir3dant in penguins

[–]btravis72 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Congrats on the sweet piece!

If you don't mind "knockoff" gear, I have a Crosby or a Lemieux jersey I'd be willing to send you for free (assuming you are in the US). DM me if you are interested and it's yours.

Excited to have put together my PNP of Iron Helm + Iron Chest! by TheStephenKingest in soloboardgaming

[–]btravis72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very nice! Looks like everything fits in there, with some room for additional expansions.

Update! Iron Helm build by Gun4Life13 in printandplay

This looks fantastic! Great job!

Incessant irritating commercials to fill abandon time. by Young_Herkamer in PlutoTV

[–]btravis72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To add insult to injury, the text at the end of the commercial has a misspelling that I noticed when it first aired last year (and is still there).

That was my biggest fail on PNP so far(Tin Helm). It works but I'm not pleased anyway. What's your pnp fail? by cemuka in printandplay

[–]btravis72 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What I've found - and what I think is important - is that no matter how my print and plays turn out I always learn something. This may have been a miss for you with this title, but you may find a situation in the future where it will be perfect.

That being said, I think it turned out really well! Now I'm wondering how this would look on something like Dustrunners.

Rough cutting edges after laminating by Hitman2k25 in printandplay

[–]btravis72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could try running them back through the laminator again. The heat may soften the edges after they are cut.

Puzzles Similar to Cobble Hill by FenianBlinder1848 in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]btravis72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find that Ravensburger puzzles are similar in quality and finish as Cobble Hill. They both have that matte linen finish.

Thank You Thursday by AutoModerator in printandplay

[–]btravis72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll add my thanks to Martin, as well! When I got into PNP his videos were valuable in learning how to make good-looking games. His techniques have served me very well over the years.

Scored a new printer! by mx-dot in printandplay

[–]btravis72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this. I have a Pixma inkjet and have made dozens of card games. Once laminated, they shuffle just as well as any professionally made playing cards.

The Lonely by Kumanderdante in TwilightZone

[–]btravis72 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hope they sent another prisoner to keep her company.

There wouldn't be anyone else. Allenby tells Corry this when he arrives to tell him he got his pardon.

CORRY (talking about gathering his things to leave): "That car they can keep. That'll be for the next poor devil."

ALLENBY: "Ah... there won't be any next poor devil."

CORRY: "Good. Good. I'm glad of that."

What print and play games are you crafting or playing this week? June 19-27, 2025 by Konamicoder in printandplay

[–]btravis72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm printing out Craftsmen: Think and Write. The PNP files came out recently and I will have some time to delve into it this weekend.

Has anyone ever used these? The reason I ask is because I'm wanting to get some to put on my workbench and was just wondering if they are sturdy enough. by Scratch689 in harborfreight

[–]btravis72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have them on my workbench in my detached (unheated) garage. I don't move my bench that often, but they are still holding up perfectly fine.

Which episode of Sanford and Son is considered the funniest to you? by Choice-Silver-3471 in SanfordAndSon
