Nov 10	comment	How should I create a Heroica scale graveyard or crypt room? @Joubarc: As written they are definitely aimed at the 8-13 crowd. But there's enormous room for variant rules to make them more difficult and add depth.

Nov 10	comment	How should I create a Heroica scale graveyard or crypt room? @Joubarc: Spiders are actually a standard Heroica monster, so I didn't feel a need to add them. :)

Nov 9	comment	Are the X-Pods balanced? This is veering into B&CGSE territory. The pieces are Lego but the question is entirely about game balance and play strategy.
Nov 9	comment	Are there LDraw files for the standard Heroica components? Yeah but at the very least I can hope someone here sees something on another forum I missed. Although Heroica seems to have surprisingly little buzz on the Internet so far.

Nov 8	comment	How can I make a working pin tumbler lock? @Joubarc: A tumbler per stud would make the tumbler rise an amount I'm not sure how to match - whatever the rise is halfway (or more likely, a bit more than halfway) up a 2/3 block, which is not simply 1/3, but some weird number. The only way I see to make it work at all is to have the tumbler supported on a position of an exact and buildable height, which means the top of the bricks between the studs, not over the studs.
Nov 8	comment	How can I make a working pin tumbler lock? Good demonstration, but I'd try to align the tumblers with the spot between two studs. Then you can use 3044 for a full brick height and 54200 (which you've used) for a 2/3 height, and pack 50% more tumblers in the same space.
Nov 7	comment	How can I make a working pin tumbler lock? Are you married to that key design? I don't see a good way to get that to slide into anything - the angle is too large and would catch the tumblers rather than push through. I would look at trying pieces like 54200 and 3044 instead, which still gives you 3 options per 2 studs = 243 possible 10 stud keys.
Nov 7	comment	Do LEGO bricks float? This answer's also not useful. "Do Lego bricks float?" "Yes, as long as they weigh less than an equivalent volume of water." That's nearly question-begging.

Nov 2	comment	Is there a logic to the way The LEGO Group fills the plastic bags? "Something that applies to Lego could be to not have large numbers of the same piece together in the same bag." Given the bags I have seen this is utterly false. Lego packaging is mostly automated, and it can be checked to a very high degree of accuracy by weight.
Nov 2	comment	Historically, what types of sets have proven to be a great investment? Which is why everyone is going to buy and not open the new large Star Wars sets, ensuring in 5-10 years they're worth... about the same as they are now.
