Well I'm just thinking of running RQG face-to-face with my local group. Dice at the table and all that. One of those friends discovered Glorantha with me back in the mid 80s as teens, and has recently got back into it with the current iteration of Glorantha. He is no doubt eager to roll dice and cause some kinda Rune Lord carnage, heh heh (he is an occasional lurker here, so he may be smiling as he reads this...:-) However if there is interest for an online game, then that is something that could be considered next year, pending time commitments. We'll see. I would be eager to be involved if the stars are right 😁 Edited August 22, 2019 by Mankcam Quote " Sure it's fun, but it is also well known that a D20 roll and an AC is no match against a hefty swing of a D100% and a D20 Hit Location Table!"

Lordabdul Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 That's pretty cool @Ochoa ! Unless I missed some earlier messages, I don't think you described your setup (printer, material, modeling process, etc.). Could you share that?

Lordabdul Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Nice, thanks for the info (I'm thinking of getting a printer for, mostly, minis and custom LEGO pieces). Is there a chance you'd talk to Chaosium about making the 3d blueprints publicly available?

g33k Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 These look great! I've occasionally considered getting into printing mini's. A few things I'm curious about (and these are general questions for any Makers, though obviously Ochoa has shown some great expertise here! ) What's the preferred material for minis' fine detail? Are there more than one? What's the cost of the media itself, the raw filament (or resin, or other material) on a (rough) per-mini basis? How many "rough draft" or "prototype" mini's do you create before settling on a "final" unit? (Obviously more-detailed ones take longer, and similar designs are quicker) How much time do you take (hours) modelling and refining a unit before you're willing to call it "done (enough)"? What stupid oversights/assumptions am I making? What do I not know that I don't know? TYVM! 2 Quote C'es ne pas un .sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's 2 types of filament, ABS and PLA. ABS smells like burning plastic so i don't use it. 11 minutes ago, g33k said: What's the cost of the media itself, the raw filament (or resin, or other material) on a (rough) per-mini basis? 20 cents or so with PLA, according to https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr_uz-iWzyR1VJNlN-E1y7w who is basically my guru for this stuff. 13 minutes ago, g33k said: How many "rough draft" or "prototype" mini's do you create before settling on a "final" unit? (Obviously more-detailed ones take longer, and similar designs are quicker) I did 3d most of my adult life so I can whip up afigure prettyquickly. Say 2 or 3 hours to model. Now, with this printer I can't get all the qaulity I could model into afigure, so I don't usually take that long. Mind you there's a TON of free miniature resoruces on thingiverse! 14 minutes ago, g33k said: What stupid oversights/assumptions am I making? What do I not know that I don't know?

Ochoa Posted August 28, 2019 Author Share Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) Also, no expertise at all! I got this cheap little printer on a whim about a year ago, mucked around with it a bit and put it in storage, and not till RQG came into my life did I feel the need to push it to acceptable mini quality!

From the players' POV, that presents them with the awful possibility that if they kill it again, it will burble and rise as an even bigger version... ad infinitum (or until they're all eaten, whichever comes first). As a PC, I'd be looking for Befuddle & other non-damaging ways to take it out of the fight. 1 1 Quote C'es ne pas un .sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds really cool! Visually, looks a bit like the Rancor from Return of the Jedi to me. Reminds me of a chaos horror I once fought which I thought was a canon Glorantha critter but isn't in the RQG bestiary soooo... IIRC basically was the stats of like 4 people melded together and then had a bunch of chaotic features stacked atop it. Hope the session goes well! 2 Quote Jonstown Compendium author.
