3D Printing : Row, Row, Row Yer Boat!

(as always click to see full pic)
Row, row, row yer boat gently as can be, I be looking for treasure! Might ye have some for me?! Or else! - Robert Sull, Buccaneer, Caribbean Sea
For the pirate campaign i'm currently playing in I decided to print out some row/sail boats for use.  These are from the open forge project on thingiverse and can be found here.  These are fresh off the printer with minimal clean up, If you so choose you can paint them up or at the very least use a bit of black wash to bring out more of the details and deepen the shadows.

Hope you enjoyed this post and thanks for stopping by!

Card Games : CAH - Ten Days or Whatever Kwanzaa : Day Eleven!? Wait, What?! And A Puzzle!


So you're back? Why? Oh right day Eleven!? of "Ten Days or Whatever  Kwanzaa" from the (good/deranged/immoral) people over at Cards of Humanity huh?  (day ten here)


As you can see the great lizard uprising DID/DOES take place so you better begin your prep'ing now people! However today's swag is a chronicle of many of the glorious emails the CAH customer reps have been sent by customers over the years and the CAH reps response.  Its a awesomely funny read, especially for someone who's worked in an industry where they've had to deal with "the public" at large.  I'm not going to include any of those mails here, as you should seek out this little book of pure gold so you can enjoy it in person and with friends! :) 

Now what about this puzzle business.  Initially I was going to do a write up about the hidden puzzle code that was/is supposedly contained within the "Ten Days or Whatever Kwanzaa", and was completely surprised at by the day 11 gift! (Thanks CAH!)  However since Day one there has been an underlying "puzzle" to solve. What this puzzle was/is was also to remain hidden, in that only clues gleamed from the daily gifts along with clues from the puzzle website along with perhaps clues from the original bullshit website would thing reveal a final prize!  

So, after doing some initial investigations, and then giving up, thus resulting to the quickest of google searches, I found the following reddit thread...

The Puzzle Has Been Solved!

Apparently there is a safe on Hawaii 2! Yes a SAFE, we're talking one of those man-sized safes that big ole Dick Cheney had three of in his office as vice prez.  There is a whole discussion here on the safe!

Check out the images of the intrepid explorers who made the trek to the hawii 2 island and discovered the safe! (credit goes to imgur user Old Yellow and friends)

The accounting of the travels to and actual unlocking of said safe is documented by one Michael Andersen here.

Enough already Geraldo! What's in the safe!!!...
