Yeah, I was wondering if OG was referring to a thread I've checked out from or one I never saw to begin with! :LOL: There is only one person on my ignore list that is a prolific enough poster that I see references to them constantly, but ne'er a single post! They are like a ghost. 👻

Oh and I have totally used purple glitter craft paint for weird cosmic swords, and have even coated something I wanted to be partially glossy effect in gloss mod podge coat to good effect.

HOLY CARP! One of my players is really into nail art and has considered using nail paint on minis. I should encourage her! And now I know to bug her for decals! :D

I use cheap make up brushes I got off Amazon and they work great. The trick is to really get the vast majority of the paint off the brush and make sure your brush actually is dry. It is better to be too light and then give it a second light go, then to go too heavy and regret it.

I just use a 3 to 2 ratio of water and PVA in a tiny spray bottle that originally had eyeglass cleaner in it. :cool: But I don't really use that for sealing, just for between layers of sand or grit or other small bits where I want the adhesive to seep into for firmer drying.

I just figured it was done by banging on a piano's strings and adding effects. Maybe it is just me, but none of those sounds seemed particularly unique to me.

I do it after as a final adhesion for the flocking and other bits. I just use Rustoleum 2x Painter's Touch spray, either matte or gloss depending on the mini (thing that are supposed to be wet or slimy, I use the gloss for).

Ugh! I feel this so deeply. My wife and I went from dealing with a sick 3-year old to dealing with a mostly recovered 3 year old while we were both sick. Just misery all around. I hope she feels better soon and doesn’t hurt your feelings too much in the meantime.

I know it is old, but this might be my favorite @Snarf Zagyg post ever. Firstly, I personally find DPR useless because I prefer a gestalt method for determining effectiveness within the context of a specific campaign (across the board claims are useless except at both extremes of usefulness or...

It would be “D&D” just not D&D (or should I reverse the use of quote marks?). Either way, it is all D&D to me.

Reverse for me. Everyone seems young or seems old and turns out to be my age. So yeah, old.

TIL that if i can remember D&D rules and features better than another person they must be stupid or lazy or both. Can’t wait to tell the people I play with so they can appropriately laud my genius. But wait! What if they are too stupid to discern it and/or too lazy to do so? Might have to...

Every once in a while a poster comes in hot out of seemingly nowhere and I am like, wait! is this a new person coming in acting jerky? So I check, and nope they've been around for at least a few years but are suddenly very active and not in a good way.

While my ideal is one subclass with four possible choices of focus. 🤷🏽‍♂️ (My 5e hack has sorcerer and wizard as subclasses of a mage class)
