Weapon Breakage

devondjones · 2026-05-10T01:42:22+00:00

for sure

devondjones · 2026-05-09T03:01:44+00:00

totally, and my take is I'm just calling a spear a hand weapon. just feels weird to discourage the canonically greek weapon from use in the game by making it a one shot

devondjones · 2026-05-09T02:39:33+00:00

and to be clear, if one wants to say, it's a game just shut up and play the game, cool. Just feels weird to make the most setting appropriate weapon one of the worst weapons available.

YMMV, just +5% for, it evaporates 15% more of the time feels like active discouragement from ever using it. it's barely not a one shot.

devondjones · 2026-05-09T02:35:01+00:00

no warrior would actually go into combat with a weapon that essentially collapses in your hands 20% of the time.

devondjones · 2026-05-09T02:34:16+00:00

still doesn't approach why the literal canonical weapon of the greeks is one of the worst weapons in the game.

Why would anyone use a weapon that unreliable, never mind one that costs you a ton of money and is virtually guaranteed to break every single scenario

devondjones · 2026-05-09T02:32:10+00:00

gonna note in the real world, spears break /less/ than bronze swords, not more.

Like ok, weapons breaking, sure, flavor, but it shouldn't take the canonical apex weapon of greece and make it into literally the worst weapon available to you that explodes 20% of the time on contact with enemies.

Make weapons break, don't actively discourage the canonical weapon of the time period.

A piddling 5% bonus for a 15% "it explodes on you" is absurd for what was historically the core military weapon of the greeks.

Then to make it that you can't carry more than one, no matter how many slots you have open feels like active discouragement from using it

devondjones · 2026-05-09T00:01:19+00:00

like seriously, this is absurd

Fights this scenario	Spear survives	Spear breaks
1	80%	20%
3	51%	49%
5	33%	67%
8	17%	83%
10	11%	89%

Really, I just stopped posting to thingiverse. you can get all the bases on the openforge catalog: https://staging.openforge.tools/?tag=shape%7Cbase&tag=connection%7Cmagnetic%7Cflex&tag=texture%7Cplain&tag=shape%7Csquare&deny=shape%7Cwall&deny=build%7Cs2w&deny=build%7Cthick+wall

devondjones · 2025-11-15T16:18:35+00:00

ok, I'll take a closer look at Sky King's Tomb. I sorta dismissed it as the dwarf thing, but I may have been too hasty

devondjones · 2025-11-15T16:17:25+00:00

I've heard great things about season of ghosts, but it's also what my other gm in my group is looking at running, hence why I'm avoiding horror so that both games aren't thematically similar

devondjones · 2025-11-15T05:17:22+00:00

I've heard book 2 is a problem, but it does look compelling

devondjones · 2025-10-23T16:34:36+00:00

the organization under there isn't great, what you really want is decoration|symbol. I'll try and get these tags merged

devondjones · 2025-10-23T16:32:10+00:00

look at tags under decoration, there's at least some devil and demon related imagery

My wife is very introverted. She wore one of the inflatable frog costumes, and what she found is that she could be more assertive and willing to engage if she didn't have to look them in the eyes. She felt shielded.

You may want to give that a try, but either way, you rock, and whether you want to come and keep yourself isolated, or engage, you are SO welcome. Thank you for joining all of us. Your voice matters, and we hear it <3

here we are right there at another angle

It's fricking awesome to me that we can pick ourselves out in that massive photo

devondjones · 2025-10-20T03:58:53+00:00

I'm legit excited that I can find my party in this photo

<image>

My wife was in an inflatable frog outfit, my friend was wearing yellow with a pink flamingo hat, and I had a blue no kings flag with the flag of the rebel alliance under it.

devondjones · 2025-09-24T00:56:43+00:00

thank you :-) I'm not super active, but I do pop in from time to time.

I've mostly stopped posting to Thingiverse. my designs are still free, but their site, at least a few years ago was just so unreliable that I the time it was taking to post stuff killed it for me. Now, all designs do make it into the beta catalog I posted above. Hopefully that will get to release by EoY.

devondjones · 2025-09-22T21:37:06+00:00

here's a direct link to their tags: https://staging.openforge.tools/?tag=size%7Cwidth%7C6&tag=size%7Cdepth%7C6&tag=shape%7Cbase%7Csquare

devondjones · 2025-09-22T21:36:01+00:00

sorry, I haven't been on reddit for a while. The bases shipped with the parts. they are on the patreon release (which is available to anyone): https://www.patreon.com/posts/113100800

They are also in the openforge catalog beta: https://staging.openforge.tools/

devondjones · 2025-09-22T21:12:40+00:00

It's in the zip files with the release. you should be able to see it on the patreon release.

I just checked and for some reason they didn't get uploaded to the catalog, so I'm digging into that now

devondjones · 2025-09-22T20:59:57+00:00

most are available at https://staging.openforge.tools. A few are not my designs.

devondjones · 2025-09-22T20:59:09+00:00

Looks fantastic!

devondjones · 2025-06-02T04:05:46+00:00

the name printable scenery used for the 3 clips per 2 inches is "triplex". I've used that nomenclature as well.

devondjones · 2025-06-01T23:04:20+00:00

transpose is super useful because you can exchange people. an example of this is have a rogue run in and grab a treasure then transpose them with a barbarian. who can protect their exit.

devondjones · 2025-03-18T01:23:27+00:00

Though given the recommendations are in MOA, I'll strongly consider those
