You Need HeroForge

HeroForge has amazing tools for creating custom figures for tabletop gaming. Basically, you can build your own 1" figure for your D&D games...

...or Savage Rifts...

...or, fuck it, just lose your damn mind and have fun...

These screenshots were chosen to show off some of the tool features available in HeroForge

"Cat Angel" there was created by a 7-year-old girl, who was just having fun one day playing around with her dad's account. That's how easy and fun the interface is.

And different potential - like D&D, or Rifts, or Supers (I got introduced to Mighty Protectors, which is multi-genre a toolkit game like GURPS or Hero System).

All of these were created by a friend of mine. He's been using HeroForge for years, and backed a few of the KickStarters, so has free access to some of the advanced tools. (He was showing me the tools, so I asked if I could grab some screenshots for my blog.)

Note, that my friend hasn't actually bought any of the figs yet (which is why I don't have pix of any). The design toolkit is free. If you want to actually own the figs, they're $20 for standard greyscale, and $45 for color. Each. But, keep in mind, that's $20 or $45 for an absolutely unique, no-one-else-in-the-world-has-one, tabletop fig.

This last one was created by the same 7-year-old girl who was just mucking about with it. Kids and their weird sense of humor, right?

Basic Fuckanomics

You're born with a ton of fucks to give. So you spend them like a kid with a credit card. You give a fuck about your friends, about your grades, about your fashion sense, about strangers opinions ..... you give away too many fucks about way too many things. You have so many. then, as you get older you have maybe ten fucks per month.... so you learn to budget them. You allocate fucks to your family and career, but there aren't enough fucks left to give the newest shit. So someone at work has something they need my help with that's outside my job title? I'll do my best to allocate some fucks, but this month is pretty tight. Then you get even older, so you're down to one or two fucks a month.... and those fucks are damn precious. You give them to your family, your hobbies, your job... and that's kind of it. It's not your fault fucks expire too quickly. I would have liked to save my fucks when I was younger, but I can't. Then you hit fuck insolve

Radiant Tank Top Heaters

I had a Mozart "for concentration and study" vid running in the background on YouTube, when an advert for Radiant Tank Top Heaters by Global Industrial came on. Definitely not the kind of thing I normally expect, but I got curious, and once I saw the images of "propane tanks with laser dishes" my mind went running all over the place. These things seem really dangerous, but also very practical. I can see every dude-bro's garage workshop with at least one of these, and if I was out in that shop on a freezing-ass cold day, I'd be parked next to this thing, because I'm tough, but still smart enough to stay warm. My first random thought was the Star Wars laser dish cannons . I loved Empire Strikes Back , and always thought these things were cool in a totally impractical kind of way. I love that Lucas and his people always seemed to let their imaginations run wild. I mean, just because WE think it might be impractical doesn't mean some ot

Nerdforge - uber nerd girl shows how to make awesome stuff

So, this is sort of a follow-up to my earlier post on Fantasy RPG Armor for women . This is about Martina at Nerdforge , and all the awesome shit she makes. Specifically, here are her videos where she makes her own armor and then she makes a shield. She also has videos where she makes tomes, wizard staffs, and all kinds of awesome shit. Frankly, I get a kick out of trying to picture her workshop. She's got some serious and expensive power tools :-) Here are more links about them We're the Nerdforge couple Martina & Hansi! instagram & twitter: @thenerdforge discord: discord.io/nerdforge https://www.patreon.com/nerdforge
