I DM, but I usually just use imagination, or if a map is really necessary I use paper. But that is so cool it makes me regret not having proper maps.... Hrmmm. I've been considering something for some time; as a DM I was wondering what you'd think: making maps, characters & monsters.... using Lego. Thoughts? I don't DM, nor do I play, but I have seen some maps made that way with Lego before, and they were pretty awesome. I imagine it comes down to you and the people that you play with, and you could either just try it and see how they react, or ask first and see what they think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been considering something for some time; as a DM I was wondering what you'd think: making maps, characters & monsters.... using Lego. Thoughts? Using lego is definitely cool imo Making maps out of it is time consuming because of the number of pieces, but very cool. I only really use a map for around 1 in 3 battles in my D&D campaign and only a subset of those use significant amounts of 3d terrain. It's great for the big set piece battles but for simpler battles it's much faster to just run int in theatre of the mind and you don't break the flow by spending 10-20 minutes building the map 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - I have a ton of it lying around at my parents (and I mean a ton - like 2+ large bins full of sets in bags) from when me and my bro were kids... That's what I was thinking! I usually run battles in the theatre of the mind - makes things a lot more flexible! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunbird Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 I found baby goldfinches a few days ago They're storming adorable! (4 photos in the spoiler) Spoiler All of these are Lesser Goldfinches. They're more greenish-colored than American Goldfinches, the other kind commonly found in my part of Utah. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oversleep Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 Yesterday I managed to find some time to go to the bar with friends for a beer and play some board games!

In other news, I photographed some butterflies on Saturday Spoiler Male Weidemeyer's Admiral: Male Rocky Mountain Duskywing: Common Ringlet: I also got some closeups of an insect that I discovered via Google and Wikipedia is called a Boxelder Bug. Looks kinda like a red-and-black beetle, but it's actually related to cicadas and stinkbugs. Spoiler The bug was only about half an inch long, so I had to put the camera lens right up in his face to get these shots. He didn't really like that and started backing away before long.

Popular Post Herowannabe Posted June 19, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) This is a continuation from this post I made over in the Bad Day thread. Long story short, my cat, Rugby, snuck out of our house 3 weeks ago and has been lost ever since. Today, we found him! Our neighborhood has been fantastic- everyone has been super helpful and supportive and we've had many people out looking for him (and this is where I pause to give a HUGE plug to nextdoor.com. It's a social media site + app for neighborhoods- so when you post only your neighbors can see it, and vice versa. It's a great way to spread news (like when your pet is lost), keep an eye out for each other, buy/sell things, find a local handyman/plumber/music-teacher/etc or advertise your own services, and so on. Everyone should go sign up for it, right now, if you're not already). Tonight we got a report on Nextdoor that someone had seen a big black cat on their street near the local cemetery a couple days ago, so we went searching in that area. We didn't find our cat there, but my wife felt prompted to search another street on the other side of the cemetery and Rugby was sitting right there on the side of the road. My wife spotted him and jumped out of the car, and he ran away from us at first, but when I approached him and called his name he came to me and let me pick him up. He's still pretty freaked out and wild, he's hissing and growling at our other cat, his fur is matted and filthy, it looks like he caught a cold, he may or may not be hurt and/or have fleas, but he's safe at home now! My buddy is home! Edited June 21, 2017 by Herowannabe 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steeldancer Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) I had a fantastic interview! And I have photos of a Killdeer to share (or I assume it was a killdeer. It was nesting by a pickle ball court and basically had a spaz attack every time anything got within 10 feet or so.) Spoiler Spoiler And it had eggs.

Sunbird Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Congrats on the successful interview, @The Flash! And yes, that's a Killdeer. They're notorious for nesting in dangerous places on the ground and for the "broken wing display" where they fake injury to try to lure predators (including people) away from the nest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunbird Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 @Herowannabe I'm so happy that you found Rugby again!! Not so happy that he got beat up while he was lost, but I'm much relieved on both your behalfs that it wasn't worse. I hope he recovers quickly and without complications. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
