Does anyone have a picture of a wooden-roofed lodge, hall or chapel viewed top-down that I could paste into a map? Edit: Nevermind, I found one. NotNut fucked around with this message at 21:24 on Mar 26, 2024 |

I semi recently got into Mini Collecting for D&D games. It’s pretty expensive if you’re aiming to get a lots of them. My campaign case lets me bypass a lot of the less important things at least. I hope the 3D VTT works well on Phones, I really like visual elements and that would probably be cheaper. (I also want to hear more about it) Also Free Beyond Adventure today. https://www.dndbeyond.com/claim/source/descent-into-tsojcanth It’s the first part of the Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth with Tournament Scoring included.

I have a bunch of toys and other little things for D&D minis. Some bought for a specific purpose, some just collected. Dollar stores, thrift stores, flea markets, etc are all good sources. Clearance sections of toy and novelty places can also have some fun stuff, a local drugstore was selling some Yu-Go-Oh minis for almost nothing so now I have some weird bugs, a four eyed beluga whale, and a sci-fi centaur as minis. Some I attach bases to, I've found that Pringles lids are perfect large size bases and nuts come in containers with perfect huge (or maybe gargantuan, not sure ATM) bases. Sometimes you can find neat art or symbols on plastic cards, like hotel keys and membership cards, and cut those down to size. If you want mono colors go raid your local hardware store for paint swatch cards. I also got some cheap bugs in resin that were made into jewellery that are perfect for giant insects.

I have a 3D resin printer originally for Warhammer 40,000 that I was able to repurpose to making miniatures for a D&D campaign that runs 8-10 play sessions start to finish. They're super cool for producing things for this exact situation. Cost me about $20 for a new bottle of resin. A week or so on and off finding the models I wanted then printing them and I've got everything for that campaign in one box ready to go with models customized to look almost exactly how I wanted them to look. I even make customized character models for each player that they can keep if they want. Friend at work primes and paints his minis for his campaigns but I reserve my painting time for my 40k armies.

I got into sculpting minis. I'm really bad at it but after the initial investment it's fairly cheap-ish and i found a really fun new tactile hobby. apart from making all the PCs (twice for two of them who had major changes) i only sculpt for boss fights and very major npcs otherwise i'd have no free time at all

I got a 3D printer wanting to make minis but it was such a pain I ended up giving away the printer. Whenever my finances improve I might invest in a resin printer if its a lot less hassle in the actual printing? Things like clogging, under extruding, over extruding, needing to baby sit it, etc.

Hollismason posted:How hard is it to convert old dnd adventures to 5th edition I think pretty hard, if you're trying to do something 1:1, most encounters might need to be reworked and you might need to do re-checks on anything that's like "A DC 10 Investigation check reveals..." But plots, story beats, dungeon layouts are probably fine. Traps would fall under an Encounter for what I said above.

Counterpoint: I've found it fairly simple. Any time there's a skill check, make the skill and DC make sense for 5e; any time there's combat, build an appropriate-difficulty encounter. I'm using an old module for my current campaign, and it generally takes less than half an hour per session to make the changes, though I'm pretty used to it by now. Alternately, there are, I think, literally hundreds of 5e conversions on DriveThruRPG/DMsGuild.

I did one print run of 15mm vikings and decided I'd rather deal with awful web interfaces and long wait times for some metal ones instead. Same with some skeletons that I'll grab from like Wargames Atlantic.

I only started DMing in 5e, but I'm planning a Shadowfell-themed campaign and went back to look at old adventures for inspiration. Is it just me, or is modern D&D really lacking in dungeons? Keep on the Shadowfell has like a 3-story dungeon as the climax and I remember being disappointed that Avernus battlemaps were usually empty buildings with 4 guys in them.

Hollismason posted:Yeah I went to their website and didn't see them on there at all. They are sadly out of print as their deal with Wizards ended. As mentioned earlier some older adventurers have already been converted to 5e in some anthology books. Tales from the Yawning Portal contains the Sunless Citadel, Forge of Fury, Hidden Shrine of Tamochan, White Plume Mountain, Dead in Thay, Against the Giants, and Tomb of Horrors. Ghosts of Saltmarsh contains the Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh, Danger at Dunwater, Salvage Operation, Isle of the Abbey, The Final Enemy, Tammeraut’s Fate, and the Styes. The upcoming book Quests from the Infinite Staircase contains another 6.

There's also a bunch of Reddit threads and forum posts devoted to converting old adventures. It generally seems pretty doable to me, though of course it's a subjective assessment. If you're comfortable with setting skill checks and developing level-appropriate combats then adapting story beats from previous editions is useful and not too hard. The trick, probably, is to simply take the broad strokes from an adventure rather than trying to make it an exact replica. Save yourself time trying to translate the precise stats and instead think "ok this is a Hard encounter with a wizard and orcs" and then use a generator like Kobold Fight Club to figure out the details.

How easy is it to get things 3D printed from a blender design? I ask mostly because those peeples posted on the other page look like a great idea, but they're just ever so slightly off-scale, and the UK delivery is almost as much as the things themselves. What I want to do is design a basic sort of shape (like the peeples), and then scale it up so I have one for 2x2 humanoids and 3x3 as well. Then make a similar beast shaped one at 2x1 and 2x2, and maybe one at 3x3 at well. Then order a few of each as needed. Just have a set of basic stand-ins that are about the right size and shape to use as proxies for pretty much anything. I am confident I could probably make the shapes in blender, but how much work is it to turn something like that into a 3D printable object?

Bobby Deluxe posted:How easy is it to get things 3D printed from a blender design? From Blender it's pretty easy. One of the options in Blender is to export it as an .stl file. With that file format there are programs that translates file types into a language that the different types of 3D printers understand, the programs are called "slicers". I assume you have someone else doing the printing and they will have whichever slicer they need for their own printer. Give that person the .stl file and they can most likely figure it out from there on their own. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3973815 3D printing thread for any other questions you might have in case this thread gets annoyed.

I designed and printed some meeples with letters on them for generic use, I'll link them when thingiverse is easier to accessBobby Deluxe posted:I ask mostly because those peeples posted on the other page look like a great idea, but they're just ever so slightly off-scale, and the UK delivery is almost as much as the things themselves. If you're a stickler for scale you almost need to do everything on your own for scratch anyways. Maps are 1:60 but WiKids use 1:56 for their minis, and I doubt they're even consistent with that. I scaled some minis from mz4250 and a tiefling scaled to be six feet tall at 1:60 and he was barely bigger than an official halfling mini.

Hollismason posted:Hey, anyone got some suggestions for tokens that would be used for visual aids for a in real life game. Seems more affordable than miniatures. Unless there's some super cheap miniatures out there. The creator of "Order of the Stick" published a lot of PDFs full of foldable minis that you can print out and weight with coins. It's worked very well for us for things like hordes of skeletons. https://richburlew.gumroad.com/ Scroll down to the "Monster for Every Season" section.
