@dudeslife,
If you want to go that route, then you definitely need to check out Fat Dragon Games or World Works Games.
They have dungeon pieces you can cut out and piece together. Fat Dragon Games has even taken it a step further, and they have plans that you can plug into your 3D printer and print terrain similar to Dwarven Forge and Hirst Arts.

I decided to get the CC3+, DD3, and Dungeons of Schley. Im working thru the Sweeny tutorials now, but they are really outdated. Some of the things he teaches are done automatically now.Quote:

Gonna find out eventually because waiting on next set of macbooks this fall to buy a really light one. I mainly code on it so I got the 15" and found I never play games so maybe NOT getting the discrete gpu will help on heat. But mainly I just want a lighter one. I can leave the original for home use and connected in my desktop "docking station"
I bought my wife an air at the start of summer, its only 13" but I may be happy with that size for commuting use unless an uber light 15" comes out.

They are so late with skylake now, that if they put them in the new mbps, they will be once again be behind when Kabylake comes out at the end of the year. They need to keep the teapot designer away from the computers and get serious..Quote:

Time well spent by the looks of it. Nice one! :)Quote:
