ok ill do it myself
edit: this is papermod, inspired by PocketMod, an old Silverlight app for generating printable notebooks. I used to use it all the time! Papermod has a monthly review, a weekly review, some graph paper, and a dedicated sudoku page, since thats how I always laid mine out.
edit 2: if you use this then please let me know! I crave feedback and validation.
blogette updated! anyone remember those printable daily planner sites? I do.
what the fuck do you mean, diyplanner has been down since 2016 and you have to go to the wayback machine? what the CRAP, pocketmod requires a login now and its missing most of the good templates from the Silverlight version? the bullet journal blog buried all its good adhd organizer posts and tried to turn its "easy one page method" into a book that they want you to buy?!!!
i need to do something about this. soon. god damn fuck.
I did it!
I successfully 2d printed a document from my framework laptop running Linux! This is a momentous occasion!
Also I get to sign this doc tonight to formalize our monthly software developer group as a nonprofit. Which is pretty cool too.
I’ve never been president of anything before. I’m going to make people address me as “Mr. President”. I’ll do this with a necessarily haughty kind of arrogance.
a friend said they wanted this so i'm makin more of 'em! please please please tell me if you like my crafts, i love making things for friends but i always worry i'm just giving them clutter.
that goes for this chessboard too, by the way -- i want to reprint it at some point, suggestions welcome!
lil guys assembled
the penny tent thingy was a really fun concept and I might find another use for it in the future, but the flat standees are just easier to manipulate on a playing surface.
originally the inverted colors were going to have a black border extending to the edge of the piece, but that ended up being way too visually distracting. I think this is a good balance.
uses:
- one color per player = score tokens (cribbage) or pawns (ludo, sorry)
- light v dark = backgammon, checkers
feedback requested: which style of pawn looks best? pennies or clips?
these will eventually be in a mixed color set, I want two light and two dark pawns of each color.
currently experimenting with a colored-paper print because I already have it in my craft bin and it's easier than coloring by hand, but I haven't ruled out "borrow a colored printer" as an option yet.
update: okay, how about this version? I've trimmed the standees closer to the edge and rounded their corners.
I made my own colorblind-friendly player tokens :3 ! currently calling these guys "penny lumps" but if you have a better name I'm all ears.
edit: ooh, how about "pennyfigs" as in minifigs = minifigures
these would be used for games like Spree from Cheapass Games. Spree is a game about ransacking a mall after dark, racking up points by completing your shopping list, and then "banking" it by hauling it all back to your parked car before anyone else steals it back from you. It uses two pawns per player (one for your shopping wagon and the other for your parked car). I've always thought it's nice to have a third matching pawn just to put in front of the player. Icehouse pyramids work nicely for this, but they're all the same shape. The penny lumps were chosen to have a variety of shapes (and also to look vaguely like my friends' fursonae!).
Cheapass Games (by James Ernest) made their name by writing short, funny games, and selling them as "kits" with a black and white board and rulebook, which you need to supplement with your own dice and pawns. These days you can get most of their games pay-what-you-want from the archive at Crab Fragment Labs.
