    STL vs. Reality: The Highs & Lows of 3D Sculpts

    You know, there must be a way to use 3d sculpts on a virtual table top without having to print it out. Making physical objects produces a lot of junk, and you would need a lot of storage space if you 3-d printed everything in the Monster Manual and enough to represent the numbers encountered on...

    Why don't you make this a separate thread, as you have gotten way off on a tangent here.

    Genocide is a very loaded word. I consider it more of an accident of history. If you are going to accuse my ancestors of deliberate pre-meditated mass murder when all they were trying to do was find a better life for their families, then I suppose you are very determined to heap the "white...

    Well if their crime is to live here and have children and that upset the Native American way of life, then you are part of that crime and so am I. As I value my own existence, I am going to say the issue is morally grey, otherwise I would be arguing to get rid of myself, because under your...

    Because you do your fair share of honoring the Native American, and they don't need my help in arguing their case, however you are being unfair to everyone else, not just Caucasians, but black people and Asians as well. If your argument is that these people don't belong here, then what would you...

    Ready Player One as a Role Playing Game setting

    Here is a map of the Oasis according to the book. There are 27 sectors, each sector is a cube 10 light hours on a side. I am dividing each sector into 1000 subsectors, each one 1 light hour on the side. Since it is a top down map of the subsectors I am only showing 1 box per 10 subsectors. Each...

    If it weren't for them, you wouldn't be here, you literally owe them your life! Why do you suppose they came to America, was it for opportunity or was it to kill Indians? Its one thing to raid coastal villages, steal loot and kidnap women, but if your a pioneer and you see vacant land, not an...

    American Indians Colonize the Old world in 1250 BC

    Your not listening are you, the settlers see empty land and some Indians that pay a visit on occasion, by the time the Indians show up, they already built their homes. You expect them to abandon their homes and die in the snow? They see themselves as defending their homes which they built with...

    No, just stating a fact. Does air rush into a vacuum? Can you blame the air molecules for doing that? The Americas were a vacuum of people, the population density was much lower than in Europe. Europeans had ships, and they saw a lot of land for growing food and feeding themselves, so what do...

    you have to alter the land to make a farm, to have a hunting ground you leave it as it is.

    Its called sarcasm. On second thought, I think I'll say nothing. People keep trying to steer this into politics and make statements about the Indians being victims, this is not contributing to a role playing setting.

    Can you grow crops in a forest? Agriculture is more efficient than hunting and gathering. A given acre of farmland can support more people than a given acre of forest. I bet you a lot of settlers were thinking about how the Indians were wasting so much land just so they could hunt and gather...

    Hunting grounds look like unoccupied wilderness, while a farm looks like a farm. How are the settlers supposed to know which are hunting grounds and which are not? If there are no Indians there, there is no one to tell them what is what. And English commons aren't the same thing as hunting grounds.

    So what do you say the settler's motivation was then, to make human sacrifices to the Devil? Did they just like to fill Indians full of holes. So what exactly turned them into evil monsters that wanted to kill kill kill?

    Alright, so American settlers went west so they could wipe out Indians because they liked killing people so much, and they were all evil! Is that what you are trying to say?

    Yes, that happened, there were farmers and settlers who tried to understand the Indian's point of view and tried to negotiate a compromise, but there were many others who did not, and it only takes a few to start a conflict, and there were many thousands of these farmers and Indians, some of...

    American Indians Colonize the Old world in 1250 BC

    You have to describe each situation more specifically, as I have no idea. My point is the situation itself puts the two groups into conflict, neither side is responsible for the conflict in the case I just mentioned. As far as the farmer knows the land he wants to build a farmstead out of is...

    American Indians Colonize the Old world in 1250 BC

    My point is that its not obvious to a family of farmers that an apparently unoccupied piece of land is actually some nomadic tribe's hunting ground, and they make their decision assuming the land is unoccupied as there are no signs posted telling them other wise, and once they put the work into...
