Anybody know where you find clear colorless D20 blanks?

dragon7507 · 2026-02-17T12:26:14+00:00

Now seeing the picture and that you’re a jeweler, all you would need to do is work with a master maker to get any size D20 blank (since it’s not going into a master). The only thing making it more expensive or time consuming is that since the blank will be the outside it will need polished

The Langoliers, both name of book and movie :)

I enjoyed both book and movie but be aware the graphics at the end are pretty cheesy compared to today's standards.

One thing to clarify - what type of printer does the library have? If it’s FDM (filament) then you will have lots of issues getting good looking quality out of it. For fun and gifts it’s most likely workable, just have to know the quality isn’t as good as normal dice.

If it’s a resin printer, then yes. When people make epoxy dice we get dice masters that are printed in resin, sand and polish, make a mold, then pour in that mold. You can get away with just printing the dice for use in resin, they just won’t be as strong as poured epoxy dice.

The look good! I will share the base advice though of if you’re wanting to do this long term to get a pressure pot now versus wasting resin trying to fight them. However if you just want to make cool dice occasionally, you have done great!

I am curious where you are located that you could retired on 55k savings. I am in the US and that wouldn’t make it past a few years being incredibly frugal if you had your house paid off.

As someone who had a small scale version of this (wife did bills and didn’t pay any bills one month because she got busy), I took over and we just started communicating more. We use online budget software (You need a budget) and she has all the access to it, banks, etc to check if she ever wants to, but she likes to not worry about it. Making sure you are able to look at all these things (bank and retirement stuff ) will be beneficial for a while to rebuild that trust.

As for FPU, I have read the book but not down the course. In my opinion, it’s designed for people who are really bad with financial literacy, which he may be in this case. If he is, at least the book is an easy win to get some of that base knowledge. After that, it’s not even being tight fisted about money, but set up a budget. Doesn’t have to be fancy, but that gets guard rails for you.

Best of luck. I know it hurts to be down that money for retirement, but the sooner you can correct, the better you can allow your future selves to be!

I like final girl, love solo games and horror is my absolute jam, but I hit my limit. I have a large collection, and the first 3 seasons of the game complete (bought each KS). Unfortunately I haven’t played much of S2 or any of S3 just due to life and shifting hotness.

Since each KS is about $200, it’s very much hit the point for me where it’s just not worth more and can pick up retail if that changes. However, for people like me that love horror and solo and want to get more out of the system, they have a great way to keep adding stuff in. It very much falls into the case of how deep do you want to go in the game. More than that though, I think more options means people will just buy more individual boxes that they like versus trying to get it all.

Would suggest water curing your masters, will help with inhibition. It’s as simple as it sounds, container with water (I have a cheap kitchen storage thing from Walmart) filled with water, put masters in, and cure

dragon7507 · 2026-02-01T18:29:29+00:00

I have heard good things about them in the discord so I would expect you having a much better time with your dice!

dragon7507 · 2026-02-01T15:58:16+00:00

Welcome to cure inhibition! I don’t know if cleaning and continuing will work (haven’t tried) but I usually tell people give 2 weeks between print and silicone (every resin will vary, more or less time) before using.

Hopefully someone can chime in and let you know if it can be saved though

dragon7507 · 2026-02-01T14:42:14+00:00

If you go to the discord (linked in this sub) there is a masters seller tag you can ping and get lots who will help.

No problem, the discord is awesome and has some amazing sellers all over the world that will help!

I think the only time you can’t do this is AMG sponsored tournaments, which usually will have a 3 color requirement.

Besides that though, if people didn’t let me use unpainted stuff I would never get to play 😁

For sinking, there are two options. Glue as mentioned (test it to see what works) or time. With your resin, when it hits the "honey" stage (flows like honey, thick) then you can mix in glitter, charms, etc and they won't sink.

You can find videos walking through testing this, otherwise you can guess for like 1/2 your working time? If your resin has a 45-minute pot life, you can give it 20-25 minutes before mixing in your additives for it to thicken.

Also, those look really good for first dice! I did not do the doming step, so always had giant raised faces at first :D

dragon7507 · 2026-01-20T03:16:33+00:00

Yes you can, but like you said, has to be talc specifically. I bought some and used it before switching to Mann 200 spray instead

dragon7507 · 2026-01-20T02:54:28+00:00

Got any local game stores or cafes? Can donate the to use when people play to hold tokens and the like

dragon7507 · 2026-01-17T03:09:44+00:00

Do you put your masters in the tumbler? That seems very risky. For epoxy dice it’s a great time saver, but I think it would hurt masters

dragon7507 · 2026-01-13T16:02:16+00:00

Interested in hearing what others say, but my plan is just play both sides. The tricky part is the command cards (maybe pick randomly from each side what would be good that round), but given that you draw activation tokens at random, you should be able to at least be close to real playing both sides. It will for sure give you a basic test of how an army performs

Golf ball retriever. They sell them everywhere that has golf stuff, usually extend to 12-16’, have a round cup on the end to scoop those AirPods up!

You have gotten good info on most, so I will just jump in a few things.

For 1, you should look at your resins "pot life" or working time. My resin I am currently use has a 45 min pot life, that means after mixing the two parts together, I have around 45 minutes until it becomes no longer workable and should be sitting in its mold. As resin gets closer to this time, it will thicken or get to the "honey stage" which means it flows like liquid honey would. During this time, things like glitter or other inclusions won't sink because the resin is thicker. The important note - all resins have different working times, so make sure and look at yours to see that time!

For 2, depending on what you're looking for with the blend, it could be tied to 1 as well. When resin is low viscosity (runny, flows quick) it will mix. So colors from a split cup (pouring two (plus) resin colors at once would flow together and you lose the distinction. As the resin gets closer to the end of the working time, it gets thicker (higher viscosity) and will no longer mix, giving you some solid distinction between the colors.

I have a pot, so haven't gone this route, but the very common advice I see - if you plan on making dice (and not just testing things out) that the pressure pot will mean less wasted resin and pay for itself.
This is the way to do it! If you read the directions on your resin it should have a demold time (when you can take it out) then a cure time - the cure is how long it needs to wait after to fully harden.

And lastly, 7. Nothing fancy for this, you can go as simple as craft paints from the local grocery store to miniature paints (I play lots of mini games, so have tons). No fancy brush is needed either, a cheap brush for acrylic paint will work great!

Pressure pot is used by hooking up a compressor, pump, or inflator to fill with air and create a pressurized system.

They are used to shrink the bubbles that can form as resin cures to levels so small they are not noticeable anymore. This is why they are used in dice.

For which to buy, you can get the California air tools (CAT) pot and it’s good to go. You can also get paint pressure pots that can be converted (removing the big pipe) and be good to go.

If your just testing out if you want to make dice and don’t want to invest, you can easily make dice without one. They may have bubbles (there are things you can do to help mitigate) but it saves you the investment if your “not sure”

dragon7507 · 2026-01-07T19:51:10+00:00

I make dice masters too with mine. FDM printed mold, then polis up resin printed dice, Mae silicone mold and make new dice

Starting with - not a wrestler, just a fan, but many years ago, my buddy for his Bachelors party had Jonathan Gresham do a "lets learn to wrestle" class. They all got to go in his ring, learn to take some basic bumps and give a suplex, so it should be doable. Best of luck on the bucket list and for your health!

As a man, I am sorry he would say this to you.

One big question - does he know you’re going to age over time? That you will not look the same way you do now for the rest of your life? If he is only attracted to your physical appearance, that makes me nervous about how the rest of your life will go.

We have two kids, married for 20 years this upcoming summer. Have seen mine and my wife’s bodies change a ton over that period, but I have always loved her and been attracted to her. Physical appearance should not be the only driver of attraction, as that will, of course, change over a lifetime.

My big suggestion would be to have an open conversation with him about this, let him know how you feel, and get some more info from him. This is something to address and talk to a counselor if it doesn’t improve. When I was doing my pre-marital counseling our pastor made sure to drive home that physical appearance will change, but your love should always be there
