 Just nudged my #RPG party off their own beaten track using a headhunter’s pet (like a mage’s familiar, the headhunter can see/hear through the pet). They haven’t met the headhunter yet, just the pet, who is following them everywhere from a safe distance. The party is so fixated on who could have sent the pet and how to get rid of it that they totally forgot why they are in the city, and the Big Bad can happily continue scheming while they are doing all the research.
I feel a bit bad for them… #EvilGM #CypherSystem 
 I said this before and will say it again: The most underrated feature of Nostr is the event kind ... 
 The only problem i see with this is itʼs easy to have two cempletely different NIPs that use the same kind number; with textual IDs itʼs hard (although not impossible) to do that. 
 yes, i’d totally prefer that over the current, (seemingly) monotone increasing number; I mean, if the biggest kind number i ever saw is 63, how should i know if someone else is already working on a NIP with a kind 64 or if i can use it in mine? 
 I made some kids toys, some RPG minis (also tried dice, but those didnʼt come out great), and some gadgets for my home like cable organizer's, towel hooks, a wall mount for a mirror, and the likes.

I know no way to recycle PLA (as in, you canʼt reliably make filament out of the cutoff and failed prints). Some say you can melt it and cast it using silicone moulds, but never tried it myself. 
 What did you end up printing?,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 
 Oh i can more than relate to the thingiverse browsing part 😂

The best stuff i made are some articulate animals for my kids, and another set for the kids of a friend. They are all made of glow in the dark filament and became instant favourite for all of them. Now i’m printing an Enterprise class spaceship from Star Trek for my son’s birthday (he’s living the space period of his life RN).
