There's a couple stores near me, all have some issues.

Only kind of decent shop is the GW here and allegedly one that is out of the way but still driveable near me. The GW has been one of the only pleasent ones I went to but you still get meta chasers every time.

If my players (my wife and child) want something other than just being a person, they've got to seek it out in the world. And everything comes at a cost either in gold, or (mis)deeds.
It's basically 5e but I've removed all classes and most racial abilities. They also don't really level up.
My daughter has learned Detect Magic as a ritual from the village wise man. She does hunting and combat with a crossbow her dad taught her to use, and is pretty stealthy. My wife has learned to fight with a sword and shield from the old war veteran who lives in the village, in order to help defend against bandit raiders while the majority of men are out fighting in the war.

Currently, they are investigating a group of bandits that have taken over the local iron mine. They already assassinated the leader of the bandits who camped at the shrine to a forgotten forest spirit. They cleaned the shrine and my daughter was granted limited use of a version of the entangle spell through an amulet. The bandit leader had a book on breathing exercises for fighters that resulted in the Second Wind ability for my wife. These new abilities will be a big deal if they end up fighting the bandits head-on, or running away for that matter.

Yes, I could call my wife's character a fighter and my daughter's a ranger... But where's the fun in that?! My wife keeps ambushing people and stabbing them in the back if she can... So she might develop sneak attack at some point. And if she somehow

Letting people build their own characters inevitably leads to metagaming. The correct answer is to ask your players what they want to play, and then building the specifics of the characters yourself so that all characters are equally minmaxed, and then I lay allowing character advancement based on what the characters have been practicing in the game. The guy who only talks and never swings a sword doesn't get better at swordplay as he gets more experienced. The less control players have over the mechanics of their characters the objectively better the game will be

Shotguns have their appeal for me in either just being unga bunga "close range big damage" because it's cool, or for using them as scatter blasters to pick off sensitive parts like optics and light vehicles. So you could give them a flak-like effect with a chance for inflicting damage to outer parts.

Other things you might consider:

don't know how mekton works but, the way I built shotguns on my PF2E hack is that they can hit multiple targets due to a scatter property, and they can deal good damage but they don't gain stat bonuses on said damage, meaning a rifle has lower, but more "consistent" damage while the shotgun can deal between 3 to 18 damage in a shot. They also all have recoil so you can't run and gun with them. Some of them also have "Razing" which makes them deal more damage when hitting structures.

From what I read and what you described, for mekton, you could probably add an area effect damage to them, give them a "critical range" where they deal a bit more damage or making them deal low amounts of damage to multiple parts (which add in total to high damage).

>>97233986
True, I forgot that in my interpretation, but the rest of it would be true. They would be seeing things for the first time constantly, would have improper or non existant instincts for above ground situations, and likely either a sense of wonder or dread/disgust for everything they come across. Think of an old tiny hamlet medieval Catholic lady obsessively crossing herself every five minutes because she’s walking downtown Las Vegas. A dwarf would be doing similar things for their first time above ground, gawping at the sky or a lake or birds, signing the cross equivalent everytime they see a wooden building or stone structure that was made of brick instead of carved of fully native stone. Would they even understand the concept of windows or think they’re senseless unnatural openings? All kinds of things would be new and uncanny and scary or awe inspiring to them. Might even cause them to become completely neurotic.
>>
>>97234008
Dwarves literally craft windows for underground village homes. They keep the bugs out, while letting them keep an eye on the neighborhood. The primary differences between an underground village or city in a fantasy setting and one on the surface are building materials, flora and fauna, disasters (cave ins, quakes, and floods vs. hurricanes and hail or snow), and the sky or lack thereof.

There may be cultural differences as well.

But most dwarven and even drow cities are similar to surface cities and built in immense caverns.
>>
>>97234156
That’s because the people who write them can’t think about living other ways, but such caverns are rather rare and it makes zero sense build a house from blocks in a cavern when you can readily tunnel. You should go look at the designs of the actual underground cities and villages in human history and see what I mean. Theres one in turkey that held an estimated 20000 people iirc and there’s not a window in the whole damn thing. It’s like a human ant hive.

I'm sure they were under orders to make sure the Wolf Scouts rolled the Tau and the stealth suits will get buffed later. That's just how GW rolls.

Also, wouldn't troons be ideal candidates for game design? I mean, they very rarely have kids or other obligations and their autistic brains are perfect for designing competitive games. I mean, compared to the days when GW games were made by middle-aged British dads who just took it on faith that gamers would behave like reasonable people.

It printed fine for me when I had one, and the software side has gotten so good that they should print now better than they ever did.
But they have a rather rough 50 micron screen, so anti alias is probably a must and so it will not reach quite the details that most newer machines can get easily.

Thing is, I do not know if that one supported wait time before printing or if you had to use a workaround. Waiting for the plate to settle against the pressure of the resin is something that only became widely used after some generations and helps loads with printing.

Yes. Elegoo is one of the better brands and the Mars is a fine (if small) machine. Please tell me you didn’t buy second hand though- if so you will likely need to swap in a fresh FEP and/or screen and that will like;y set you back most as much as a new printer, if you don’t own them already.

having a 16 bit (klipper) based printer makes a huge amount of difference; all that firmware end stepper control takes a lot of the roughness out of a print. Though paintjob feeds into it to; even with an 0.4 your brain sort of ignores the layer lines once it's on the table (at least mine does).
