This human paladin mini 3D printed with a mangled forearm, so I just glued his sword to his elbow. If you think that makes him any worse at fighting, cash him outside.

My 3D scanner is kinda disappointing so far.

It looks like I made Bender out of Play-Doh.

My general stance in #DnD is that no argument about rules lasts longer than 60 seconds before I cut it off and just make something up. #DMLife

putting googly eyes on my enemy minis to make them look less threatening

I started an Etsy shop to see if I can sell any of my minis.

the finished product (and i hope this is a good enough photo for @Juju )

#3DPrinting a #Gloomhaven dashboard as a gift for a friend. It was going great as of this morning, anyway!

After painting

trying once again to print with the cheap-ass black #3DPrinting filament I got on eBay and see if it clogs or not

Before #3DPrinting: It's just not worth getting a giant mini for just one encounter.

After 3D Printing: *evil laugh*

My print was 68% done when I checked on it this morning and going strong. Godspeed while I'm at work. #3DPrinting

FWIW I recognized that the hooks suggested by the module were weak, and I offered several additional hooks of my own invention to let them know what they were supposed to do, which they easily understood.

But sometimes my players seem to actively try to avoid, circumvent, or walk away from the hook. Once you've seen clear to the material that the DM prepared and you're actively trying to work around it, not because of confusion but because you think you're being clever, then imo you're being a dick.

To be clear, I'm not talking about clever solutions to problems that may not be in the module. I love those. I'm talking about trying to not face the problems at all.

The thing that annoys me most in #DMLife so far is something I call "convincing the players to play the game."

Here's the thing about story hooks, at least to me: they're hard (it's easier to run the game once the players are already going somewhere), and they can sometimes be opaque ("are we meant to go here or here?")

They can also be bad or good. Yeah, sometimes the hook sucks, especially for a new DM trying to stitch modules together

#DnD

Just started a 20+ hour print, hopefully the gods of #3DPrinting are with me.
