Hey, Does Anyone Have A Good Picture/drawing Of The Aurora From The Outside, Preferably In Color? Im

Hey, does anyone have a good picture/drawing of The Aurora from the outside, preferably in color? I’m thinking of trying to make a 3d model of her, since I have lots of airdry clay to spare. (I know there’s a picture of the aurora on the mechs site, but the lighting makes it a bit hard to see the details of the ship.)

3d model of the Aurora

Here’s another thing I made for the Mechs. I based it off the picture of the Aurora on the mechs wiki, as well as the schematics drawn by the person who played Nastya. I made it to include the solar sail thing mentioned in both. Although since it isn’t clear exactly what a solar sail is, its basically just an umbrella. Under a read more since its a pretty long post.

I’m proud of the sail being functional. That took a lot of googling to figure out! I also made the sail removable, with a little insert that gives it a cap I guess. The paint definitely needs some touch ups, but not bad for about 5-ish days of work I think?

... please validate my effort? (TvT)

So, what is the OGL and why are DnD creators thoroughly screwed?

Tumblr has not been doing a great job at talking about this, but:

With OneDnD, Wizards of the Coast has decided to update the Open Game License (OGL). Said license is what allowed people to create homebrew DnD content and sell it, and even larger companies to use certain sorts of content. Pathfinder, for example, is built on said OGL. This also allows streamers and artists to exist and benefit from said content.

With OneDnD (sometimes called “dnd 6e”), WOTC wants to create a much more restrictive OGL, which will, amongst other things:

Make WOTC take a cut for any DnD-related work (according to Kickstarter, a whole 25% of the benefits)

Let WOTC cancel any project related to DnD up to their discretion

Let WOTC take ANY content made based on their system, and re-sell it without crediting you, or giving you a single cent

And most importantly, revoke the old OGL, which will harm any company or game system that used it as a base, such as Pathfinder. And it means they GET ownership over any homebrew content you may have done for 5e in the past!

It’s important to note that OGLs are supposedly irrevocable. They were planning to use it for OneDnD initially, but they want to apply it retroactively to 5e, somehow. Which is illegal, but lawyers have mentioned there’s a chance they may get away with it given the wording.

This means that anything you make based on DnD (A homebrew item? A character drawing? Even music, according to them?), can get taken and used as they deem appropiate.

These news come from a leak of the OGL, which have been confirmed by multiple reputable sources (including Kickstarter, which has confirmed that WOTC already talked with them about this), and was planned to be released next week.

So, what can we do?

Speak against it. Share the word. Reblog this post. Let people know. Tumblr hasn’t been talking much about this matter, but it’s VERY important to let people know about what is WOTC bringing. 

Boycott them. Do not buy their products. Do not buy games with their IP. Do not watch their movie. CANCEL your DnD Beyond subscription. (Btw, they ARE planning to release more subscription services too!). They do not care about the community, but they care about the money. Make sure to speak through it. 

And maybe consider other TTRPG systems for the time being, Pathfinder’s Paizo has been much nicer to the community, their workers are unionized and are far more healthy overall

 HEY! If you’re new to tumblr, get a pfp right away, and throw something in your bio. With the bot problem right now, anyone without one is likely to get blocked just out of reflex. Make it obvious that you’re not a bot!

“average horror podcast has three swears per episode” factoid is actually a statistical error. average horror podcast has zero swears per episode. malevolentgeorg, who lives in the dreamlands and has over 10,000 swears per episode is an outlier and should not have been counted.
