  • Let the players as a group have agency in your narrative. It sounds like a stupid joke about the pet goblin but it isn’t. Our favorite campaign ever was a mage campaign where the players spent the whole campaign focus on one guy (Sir ben kingsley in Lucky number slevin) and they went after him with all they had. But on the side they made friends with some of the factions. Especially this one Sons of Ether, Lucy Monk. They confided in her and had her help them with plans. it was great.

    Then the twist came.

    Yeah, you figured it out.

    But the look on their faces when they had to travel back in time to get the guy they thought was the BBEG and he turned around and showed them who it really was still makes the DM giggle to himself.

    Any game you play matters if the players feel they are moving things along and making a difference, even a small one.

    If you are the DM, be the rest of the world but let them move you.





  • First and foremost please please please remember water is F***ING heavy. I know it sounds stupid to say but it’s so easy to forget how fast it adds up. Is your shed wood floored? What is it sitting on?

    Would you be comfortable grabbing a 50cm diameter boulder and placing (Not dropping) it on the floor and not have it buckle let alone break?

    If yes then you might be alright.

    MIGHT!

    is the outlet 110? Check the fuse and not how many amps it’s rated for.

    If it’s just you and you have at least 20 amps I would seriously consider one of those inflatable hot tubs.

    You can get one from anywhere between $200 and $600 and they will work for that wattage AND distribute the water weight enough you won’t crack a concrete base, even a not too thin one.

    If you are thinking of a cast iron tub or something similar maybe with higher walls or smaller footprint as the shed isn’t big enough for a hot tub then you need to seriously worry about that it will be sitting on.

    Finally dumping the water once in a blue moon with 2 squirts of soap isn’t great but it will do minimal damage but 2 or 3 times per week is a LOT of water that will concentrate in a small area and if you plan on washing at all that adds to a lot more soap and detergents then you realize concentrating in your lawn.

    Consider doing some filtering before you dump. Charcoal or sand to start and that will help quite a bit. It’ll mean very slow drain but you don’t really are about that do you?


  • Bit of both really. Ok, the bed tramming is normal, even GREAT printers need it done every few weeks or so. The physics and mechanical properties of how the bed is held down mean changes in temperatures and normal shifts even in an ACed house mean they loosen naturally a little every day and after a few weeks they will be bad enough someone who likes a really level bed will need to clear them again. After a few months any bed that isn’t welded down is going to need to be redone.

    Z offset and bed auto level follow from that. You need to redo them when you do the tramming anyway.

    I would say run your printer more often but that won’t fix it. You’re running against physics and nothing can stop that. Maybe you can store up prints for say 6 months and then do them all in a week or so and you only have to do this once?













  • Map out the dungeons. On the map they form three arrows pointing to a place in the middle of the most dangerous desolate Level 23 dragon infested place. But if you make it a circle instead at the center is the BBEG’s place which is actually this wood carver hut in the woods NEAR the imperial city and it turns out he’s been making realistic looking wood golems the whole time and replacing key figures in the kingdom because they are loyal to him, the plot to get rid of heroes is just insurance.
