I started 3d printing back when you had to build it all from scratch, and it seemed ABS was the only filament to be found. PLA came along soon enough and made things sooo much easier. Then came some more exotic ones like TPU or Nylon I think, but I never tried them out because they seemed pretty niche....
Love Letter. A very quick game with just 13 cards. Games take about 3 minutes so you can play multiple rounds if you want. Suits 2-6 players (best at max 4 in my experience). Generally very popular and easy to learn.
Comes in dozens of themes as well, if you don’t like the “princess in a castle” theme. You can find Batman, Cuthulu, The Hobbit, versions depending on your preference.
After a week on Lemmy/kbin it strikes me that one of the major oncoming problems that the Fediverse has is the fragmentation of communities across multiple instances that were formerly centralized in reddit. While this fragmentation into instances has significant upsides, it shifts responsibility for finding and subscribing to...
The way I picture this is by letting communities have some sort of “partner communities” listing. If mods of games@xyz decide they like the content of games@abc, and gaming@123, they add those communities as “partners” (perhaps those communities have to accept which in turn adds games@abc as their partner). Then, when any user subscribes to one partnered community, they also become subscribed by proxy to the others, and begin to see posts from all 3.
This helps smaller communities piggyback on the success of willing larger communities and gain a bit of visibility as well, which should encourage growth of each partner so smaller ones don’t just die out.
Communities can “unpartner” at any time, in which case users would only remain subscribed to the one they originally selected. And of course, users could explicitly block any of the partnered communities if they don’t want to see the whole set.
I reported an issue on GitHub, and the devs are asking if our instance owner can reboot and provide some logs to help troubleshoot. Reaching out here in hopes the instance owners see this? Not sure the best way to contact them for stuff like this....
I do a lot of Roleplaying and need some games for in-between and “gambling” for the others I play with. I don’t want my players to learn a long and massive game. Something that feels a bit medieval and uses dice of 55/32 card decks would be perfect. Like Gwent or Zombie dice. Maybe where you can cheat?
Are you looking for separate games to play in between roleplaying sessions, or games to play “inside” the roleplaying game?
One game that comes to mind is “Love Letter”. A fun little card game that involves a little bit of deduction and bluffing but only takes about 4 minutes.
The theme is very minimal. I think the premise is “someone is trying to sneak a letter to the princess. Guess who has it? The guard? The maid? Etc.” It’s just a deduction game.
But there are also loads of “themed” versions if you prefer. Batman, Cthulhu, Munchkin, Santa Claus, Legend of the Five Rings, The Hobbit, Marvel, etc.
And since there are only 13 cards, you could easily re-theme it with a Deck of Many Things or something.
I always see pictures of people’s collections with boxes stored vertically on their edge. Looks nice, but when I do this the pieces inside tend to get jumbled around....
Hi, me and my cousins had a good thing going for a long time playing Catan but we are looking to shake things up. We have played Catan regularly for over s year, but find that it’s getting a little stale. We are looking for a game that requires a lot of strategy, planning, teamwork but also betrayal and backstabbing, yet also...
I might recommend Dominion as a great “starter” game that is a totally different feel from Catan but still has the “different every time” setup. Very quick to set up; it’s just cards. No teamwork though, but lots of strategy that will change each game.
For a teamwork game, one classic is Pandemic, although once you win the game the first time the novelty wears off
Something with teamwork and betrayal I would recommend is Dead of Winter. But I’ll be honest betrayal as a mechanic usually doesn’t work for me in general, so I don’t play with those rules when there is an option.
FYI, i see a lot of users joining, but not many people are actually subscribing to the communities. Subscribing to the communities you like will help them grow within the fediverse and be easier to discover!
Since Lemmy is kind of like a bunch of small separate Reddits, its very possible that a community you are looking for already exists; its just on a different Lemmy server. But fear not! You can be the person to connect it so everyone here can see it and start to interact with it!
Use this site to search for other communities that might not yet be on this instance: lemmyverse.net/communities
You should find a good handful of communities around D&D, Pathfinder, Fate, etc. When you find one you are interested in, you can visit it directly, but since you probably don’t have an account on that server, you won’t be able to post or comment there until you connect it to ttrpg.network by subscribing to it.
Mouse over the link (it should pop up with “Click to Copy”), and copy it. Then come back here, open the search page, and search for the link you just copied. You should get a result that you can click on, but notice this time you are viewing it through ttrpg.network, so you can interact with it with your account here. Click “subscribe”, and everyone here will also start to see posts from that community.
Congrats! You have just made one link in the Fediverse, connecting everyone here to a community somewhere else.
Did you access it via the search function here on ttrpg.network? The link you provided won’t work until someone searches “!wargaming” from here and visits it through the link in the search results at least once.
Very possible. This may be a question for @eerongal. It does indeed look like this instance is stuck an older version of Lemmy as well (17.4; the latest is 18.0 or 18.1 by now), so this may be a bug which requires an update to fix.
How does this Dev Team interact with the official Lemmy repository? Based on the Reddit post where you were directing people to message the Mod team rather than visit the Lemmy GitHub page, somehow I get the impression you guys are working on a forked version of Lemmy rather than contributing to the core repository. Is that accurate?
When I subscribe to a remote community and we become federated with that instance for the first time, does the whole remote instance and all it's communities start showing up in all for everyone on our instance? Or just the one community?
When I open up the VLemmy home page, I see in the side panel a list of “trending communities”, such as arknights. However when I open the community, there are zero posts, zero users per month, and only 2 subscribers. Are posts just not showing up, or is the “trending” measurement not what I think it means?
Is there a way hide a specific community from showing up in my “all” feed? For example, there are communities in different languages that I don’t need. I’m hesitant to just “Block community” in case this somehow affects other users, the same way “subscribe” causes remote communities to start showing up in everyones’ feeds here.
This genre seems to be fairly popular, and I can see why. Instead of just building a deck for the sake of building it (like in Dominion), adding a racing element makes the game more interactive, tense, and tangible. I've only played a few, and I'm interested in how Heat compares to for example....
What about something like Aeon’s End? Not racing on a map, but racing against a clock, because the big monster is going to destroy the world if you are too slow.
Awesome deck building, but an extreme sense of urgency.
Beyond PLA and ABS?

Deck building + racing. What's your favorite?
