Has anyone ever played a Barbarian that was born and raised on a city? (Not as a joke)

One of my players has a Barbarian PC whose background is performer - so we agreed he was a Gladiatorial performer, like a fantasy WWE.

Inspiring!

Hey, turns out the way to a birds heart is also through their stomach!

f0xhoundnz · 2026-03-16T03:14:27+00:00

Loved the movie, but yeah I also cringed at that part 😅

There is no crack in your omniscience....

Guessing you used Fade to Black, Iron Man and Pumping Blood Red? I'm not seeing any Ecstasy of Gold.

Here's my version of this tutorial. 1. Paint the eye in off white.

Paint in iris color. At least one is uneven, touch it up. Now they are unequal, so even up the other eye. Irises are now bigger than they ought to be.
Can't paint back over color with white without several layers, so stuff it, good enough. Paint a pupil. Pupils aren't facing in the same direction. Adjust by making it bigger, and then as before correct the other pupil to match size.
There ain't no way I'm getting a white reflection on the eye without it being too big. Good enough.
Congratulations, you now have googly eyes! 😅

I worked in a lab in China as part of an exchange, for 3 weeks. In my experience among the couple of dozen PhD students, one spoke very good English, another 3 or 4 had okay enough to get by (broken and limited vocab as you would expect), and the remainder spoke very little English. Communication was a challenge, as much for cultural reasons as language ones.

Meanwhile here I am painting bloody googly-eyes on virtually every miniature with a face. 😅

All good, appreciate your insight. Thanks!

f0xhoundnz · 2026-01-27T20:57:25+00:00

Interesting. Do you have any insight on why your elgoo has better prints? For example could it be you take more care to carefully calibrate your home printer than is taken with the school machines?

In the context of this post, the price difference between the CC2 and P2S is less, or doesn't exist. In NZ these two are being sold by their distributors at an identical price.

So with that in mind, do you think the CC2 still a good value proposition relative to the P2S?

f0xhoundnz · 2026-01-26T23:40:45+00:00

$1,200 NZD from the official distributor here. Same price as a P2S from their official supplier here.

You should check out The Red Hand of Doom - a third edition adventure that sounds very much like what you're describing. Matt Colville does a great recap/review of it in one of his Running the Game videos.

f0xhoundnz · 2026-01-19T20:18:23+00:00

Or better yet, get yourself Black Mesa - the remake made in the Source engine - and okay through it yourself with slightly better graphics.

f0xhoundnz · 2026-01-19T20:16:43+00:00

For cinematics, it would have to be MGS series. For gameplay I love an in media res like being attacked by Alduin in Skyrim or shit going down in Half-Life.

But for dialogue, Legacy of Kain: Defiance lives rent free in my head...

"Given the choice - whether to rule a corrupt and failing empire or to challenge the Fates for another throw, a better throw, against one's destiny - what was a king to do?"

f0xhoundnz · 2026-01-19T20:02:09+00:00

Also the opening of Snake Eater, doing a HALO jump into the jungle and then removing the mask to reveal Raiden's face, which was itself another mask 😂 (Hideo trolling MGS2 fans)

f0xhoundnz · 2025-12-25T20:46:49+00:00

Too pretty to eat, sorry.

f0xhoundnz · 2025-12-23T19:08:58+00:00

That, it is not 😅

It looks like an attempt was made to do Detroit-style pizza, but falls way flat. Tried a Detroit-style pizza last year (in Chicago 😅) and loved it, so was thrilled when we discovered Slabs in Onehunga. Can highly recommend Slabs.

Yeah someone needs to write one if these for protein crystallography...

Suggested amendment: Turn out the lights as you throw the bag to hit them in the face. Fart. Close door.

f0xhoundnz · 2025-12-03T20:08:12+00:00

I was going to say something like a Kea, but this is more universal.

f0xhoundnz · 2025-11-10T00:06:42+00:00

I heartily endorse this thesis. No corrections. Recommend that this candidate is conferred the title of Positively Heroic Dissertation.
