EPS foam

Any tips on working with EPS ? Bought some furniture and seems a shame to throw out so much of it l. I've seen the heat gun method but haven't got one.

Could you cover it in paper mache maybe ?

I made some customised dice potions for my party to celebrate our anniversary!

They have a dual use, in game they all have one unique effect that isn’t known until they are used (they can be drunk, thrown etc), and they are also used for death saving rows when the time arises.

Hobo Bindle

Hey folks! I’m in the process of painting up a hobo character and I want to add a bindle to the end of the stick he’s carrying.

Originally had the idea to use green stuff or fabric, but I can’t quite get a knot to look realistic. Any ideas?

The Crystal Cluster Puzzle is coming along nicely

So I have been spending a lot of time R&D'ing this one. I haven't been working with micro controllers or advanced electronics for about 10 years, so I was quite rustic.

I've made a wiring diagram and a PCB design. I've ordered a few PCB's and they'll be delivered next week. This is simply a test to see if the system works as intended and to try to make some of the code.

The plan is to have the whole thing flicker a bit whenever a puzzle piece is inserted, but once all the pieces are placed correctly, the whole thing lights up in patters and hums slightly as if alive.

If you want to follow the progress I sometimes post here but I also sometimes have more in-depth posts on my Patreon. All the files and instructions on how to make it yourself are available there for free. https://www.patreon.com/masterful_dungeons

Whe tho find easy to peel foam boards in Poland?

Hi there fellow Crafters!

this time I am writing a question addressed more to the Polish users of this place, but if you are not polish, but you know the answer - feel free to write it. Dear friends Tell me where you buy foam boards that have easy to peel paper? I struggle for a long time. I've managed to find only hardpeelers, where I need to scratch the paper with exacto and soak it with nail polish acetone to peel it semi-easly.

Sending Stones

My husband and I had a baby a few months ago and now our neighbors, who are the DM and a party member, are expecting their first child. The babies’ nurseries have windows separated only by our shared driveway which is just so sweet.

I want to make a pair of walkie talkies that look like sending stones to give to the kids when they get old enough. Any ideas on how to go about making something like that? Buy walkie talkies and create a clay rock form around them?

Battle mat

Hey all. I have a Chessex Battle Mat lying around getting 0 use. I would like to use it more and have decided to draw something permanent on both sides. What should it be? A crossroad in the forest (hexagon side) A tavern (square side) A river crossing/bridge (any side) Any other ideas for something permanent that is "always" useful and found in most places. (I make paper maps and battle maps on gridded paper when needed)

Thanks in advance

This week, I used traditional Celtic instruments to compose a Fantasy Fairy Forest in the rain 🌳

Step into a world of peaceful ambience with ‘Medieval Celtic Fantasy Music’ where the soothing sounds of the Celtic ensemble harmonise with visuals designed to enhance your work, study, and sleep environments. Allow the gentle melodies to guide you through moments of tranquility, creating a serene backdrop for your daily activities.

Digital character sheet elements?

I really want to make my own character sheets and I’m reasonably competent with a number of softwares, but I want a repeatable hand drawn look. Are there any source of digital elements like banners, shields for AC, maybe potion bottles for HP? Any artists or designers out there with patreons?

Ideas for D&D trip

I've been the GM for a wonderful group for almost two years, and we decided that we are going to take a group trip together! We've rented a cabin for a week and are planning on playing D&D, eating good food, watching nerdy movies, and also doing some crafts.

I was hoping to pick the community's collective minds for ideas for crafts/prop ideas. We're definitely going to paint some more miniatures and terrain, and we also thought of using a cricut to cut out their stats out of some vinyl and press it onto a shirt or jacket.

Other ideas I've thought of are things like sewing a cloak, making tankards, sewing dice bags, or making "dice potions".

So, what would you all want to do before/during a week long gaming trip? I have access to sewing machines, 3d printers, laser cutters, and simple wood shop supplies.

Thanks for any/all ideas everyone!
