Showing my age I guess, but two things occur to me; 1. RPG stands for Rocket Propelled Grenade to my mind so it took a while to crack the context :), and 2. much more importantly don't we have a pretty good product description and field test going on here? Seems like desktop CNC and a load of maple could lead to initial sales at Society for Creative Anachronism fairs later this summer and more general toy fairs post success after...
- wazoox 16y agoI suppose AD&D for pre-schoolers would have made it clearer ?
- daeken 16y agoWow, I never thought about CNC/3d printing in the context of the SCA. Produce stuff at low cost using modern tech, sell it at Pennsic [1] for a massive, massive markup. [1]: For those of you not in the know, Pennsic is a massive war in the SCA which lasts almost 3 weeks, outside of Pittsburgh. Over 10,000 participants and tons of merchants selling overpriced, awesome wares. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsic_War http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsic_War
- bengarvey 16y agoGeeze you are right. Any coincidence that I'm currently building a makerbot as well? hmm....
- michael_dorfman 16y agoAnd I guess I'm showing my age: RPG for me means Report Program Generator, and was what we used to program in (alongside COBOL) back in the pre-PC days. (Cf http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_RPG_II http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_RPG_II) (It was a trip of a programming language-- OpCodes had different meanings, depending on which column they were placed in. Take a look at the sample code in the Wikipedia article.)
