A D&D Players DREAM! (also turning waste into cash) S8E12

In S8E12 of Wyrm Lyfe, we move towards turning our waste into cash, the Classic Adventuring Party sees a potential masterwork piece, Project Hexy Time's key accessory gets finalized, and our friend over at Paladin Woodworking sends us a package.

I love the optimization of wood waste. It's nice to hear that it's coming together for you guys to create a win-win-win situation where two business parties AND the environment at large all benefit.

[@Nathan_Talisien]

The customers also benefit in the end, too. Reduced waste means not only less waste cost for Wyrmwood but also less material & production cost (compared to buying raw lumber and cutting it down) for the other companies, all of which should make for less overall need to raise product prices.

Great idea Bobby for those end caps on the holders. They look super sleek.

[@KingBobXVI]

Yeah - that touch actually brought me from mostly not too interested in the tiles, to auto-buy, lol.

Bobby has simple, brilliant ideas. His end cap idea is so obvious once said, but it takes someone to notice and speak up

[@Nikalin]

Really beautiful work, they must have taken some time to develop!

[@scottismail6311]

@@Nikalin thank you! Yes the design takes a while, not from the functionality standpoint as that’s pretty similar across all the trackers. It’s finding an aesthetic that really feels like what the class is all about takes a while (not saying I always hit the mark but that’s the goal!).

[@kurthl33t]

I was going to make a comment about how great those endcaps are but HOLY FORKING SHIRT BALLS THOSE WOODEN CHARACTER SHEETS

[@drewgrgich]

I so love the opening of these videos this season. Fun, kinetic, and interesting to watch.

[@ipoint01]

Good tip: have two seperate options for the hex tile storage tray; one with the end caps one without. 100% will save time and resources not having to make extra endcap sets that won't be used, but also gives people the option to buy extra ones with endcaps if they want/need them

[@AresFordwin]

Or maybe sell them separately, so people can mix wood types if they want.

[@jadespades4237]

@@AresFordwin They'd have to be sent with bricks.

[@kaeliss333]

I'm going to put this out there... I live in Australia, love working with wood, and I thank you guys for the precision and craftsmanship which has spurned on this enjoyment. The range of woods Wyrmwood (You guys ^_^ ) have. Is stunning! Having pre cut wood samples may not be a bad idea for customer sales. We received our Bolivian Rosewood Mastervault and matching sketch pencil, and a few shields of hope for our loved ones. Thank you for the effort you have put into the gaming community!

[@4Tankmp]

Watching the development of both the hexes and the classic class vaults has been well worth the watch and then adding the business management growth. *chef’s kiss* Also Paladin Woodworking you’re amazing.

oddly satisfying that in the future he is going to be a meme for classic fail...

[@VexylObby]

The attempt to recycle the wood waste is VERY much appreciated. And those trackers are probably the coolest thing I have seen for any tabletop purpose.

[@zgraves42]

Bobby should do another dice troll video bust this time it is just 12 mins of watching somebody grind up all their extra wood bits.

[@sklinger]

The endcaps were a brilliant idea! It really pulls the design together.

[@Ich3Oh]

off-cuts like that are super useful for small woodworking artisans, doing exactly the form of woodworking that was pointed out - the geometric patchwork-style stuff can be really fun to do! We've been buying very similar scraps, recently as it's absolutely one of the best ways for a small business to get their hands on exotic hardwoods (especially here in the UK, where the range of hardwoods we grow is just shit.

[@IcsulX]

Skip to 9:05 if you want to see the darn thing.

[@AWindy94]

I appreciate that you guys are doing something about your waste.

[@lordmordor4805]

@bobby - Man you are dominating project hexy-time. Bennet has been on point, but each of your suggestions so far has been an improvement. Those endcaps really bring it together as a display piece. Havent seen laser vision that effective since Homelander and the Boys ;)

[@zipcc]

Ends on the hex holder look good. great spot for your label as well. It is great to see the process you guys go thru. The prototypes / early versions sometimes look sketchy and you get them narrowed down and fined tuned and they look great. Keep up the good work

[@legomywallet630]

A time lapse from tree to gaming table runner would be amazing. See the whole a-to-z. Personal request: BW so it ends up in my home :)

Love to see you finally coming up with economical ways to deal with your waste other than trashing it all. And more details on how that's happening as it unfolds would be great.

[@KristenRowenPliske]

Those engraved character sheets are awesome! Much smaller than the living room furniture & dresser &- oh yeah-the minivan I had to throw out after Harvey flooded my house. I’m still salty about it. Great idea for the end caps!

[@MiscToddley]

The tile-rack endcaps have an opportunity to be turned into artistry panels in the future. Do the tile-racks line up to possibly match to the magnets on the side of a dice tower?

Crazy Ed / Bennett / Paladin Woodworking design collaboration when? It would come up with something potentially astonishing. The largest thing I ever had to throw away was an automobile. It got stolen, wrecked, the insurance adjuster refused to give me more than $1K for a two year old car.

Weekly question: probably a sofa during a plaguetime house move (which initually got into the property via a garage roof and a balcony. Gotta love narrow hallways) Paladin is such a creative mastermind - Artificer playing with postgame levels right there! And Bennett is absolutely killing it churning out these stunning prototypes episode after episode!

[@evansgoff476]

A couch is the largest thing I’ve had to toss. Also, hello from Maine! Hope you have a great time when you visit!

[@chrisweb8]

The end cap is nice and also means you don't have to engrave the inside of the holder since your logo is on the endcaps which will be more visible

[@Comicsluvr]

Proposal: Make the end caps with optional pencil/pens in holes in the top. Include your own pencils or pens as a bonus. I game from home a lot so I'd have those on my game shelf with pencils or pens in them for accessibility.

Excited about the Hexytime Kickstarter but... I mean... DM screen? :p That's when you can really take my money.

[@Nathan_Talisien]

Biggest thing I've thrown away was a California King box spring when moving out of an apartment. Getting it up the stairs when moving in took ~5 hours, the removal of a bannister and a handrail, and the replacement of a section of drywall. When I moved out I was dreading the effort to remove it... I decided it was 10 years old and needed replacing anyway, so we took a reciprocating saw and just cut the damned thing into quarters. 😆

i work at a school and one summer i had to throw away 30 nova desks. they were made out of very heavy, one inch thick mdf. had tempered glass in the top, and i had to take them down and elevator from a second story building. they weighed nearly 200 pounds a piece. then i had to break them up before i tossed them to maximize the dumpster the school had rented. made some gains that week.

[@StariusPrime]

I can tell you that a lot of wood workers would be more than happy to take those off-cuts off your hands. Throwing that stuff away is like throwing money in the garbage.

[@gandhigun2304]

I threw away a shed when we moved into our house. 12' x 10' rust structure on off level cinder blocks. Was basically just a rat shelter, plus the place has a detached garage for storage anyways.

• I take it back. Wizard vault looks so sexy. Can't wait to see the finished product. • OH. MY. GOD. That wooden character sheet... is.... I'm speechless. Yes. YES, PLEASE.

[@eb4305]

Once had to throw a couple old couches away but I wanted them to fit in the dumpster. So I put on some metal music, got out the Sawzall and hatchet and proceed to dismember the couchy corpses so they would fit. I get a knock on my door and it's the nice older Russian lady that lived below me. She didn't speak a word of English but she handed me a Russian to English new testament Bible. She thought I was slaughtering a goat to Yeenoghu the Gnoll Lord and my soul needed saving. She was half right. She brought me food from time to time. Nice lady.

Jesus, I don't know what Bennett makes, but he should make more. Also, Bobby is fucking BRINGING it with Hexytime idea. Endcaps are

[@1upstart16]

Those end caps look amazing!

[@MetaManGamingTM]

You guys could use that pencil strip to make wyrmwood chess boards and pieces. Or do what cutting block does and piece them together and cut them to make stuff. I think if you think outside the box a bit you could increase your profits and decrease your waste before even having to sell your scrap. I mean you still could because it is lucrative but just suggestions

[@malcolmtaylor4037]

You should definitely re sell the wooden offcuts.as a woodworker it's hard to get these woods,especially in these current times.set up an online shop and store it off site.throwing it in a chipper is just horrendous!

[@InDadequate]

The shield brand should go on the small endcaps 3"35 that Bobby mentioned, then you don't have a row of shields in the trays when the hexes are in use, and when they aren't you always see the shield brand anyway because they are on the end caps

Speaking of turning waste into cash... I'd love to see some Wyrmwood keyboard wrist rests.

[@estokien]

I threw out a whole dresser at one point. I originally tried to smash it up with a sledge hammer, but the head came off the handle and went into drywall, then I found out I could just pull the pieces apart with my hands for the most part. (Was breaking it apart so I could stuff it in the garbage can without calling for a large item pickup, and so I could handle it myself without getting anyone to help carry it out.)

[@hobbes2555]

An episode should be Doug and the undercover CEO. Just put a fake mustache on him.

[@kgoblin5084]

3 hours after initial airing, and no comments about how WW should solve their waste problem by donating tiny portions of their huge daily waste output? Color me pleasently surprised. Glad y'all found a sustainable way not to toss it in the dumpster. Really appreciated the insight from Doug that where y'all're now is in part a result of where you came from as a rapidly expanding small startup. As for the shade being cast on JV for saying 'Warrior' instead of 'Fighter': Plenty of OSR games actually use that term, especially since they don't make a distinction between fighter & barbarian. Ditto non-D&D games. Crap like this is why people can develop such a hate-boner for 5E & it's community... you aren't the only game in town (literally, LOL) & you damn well knew what he meant regardless.

[@robertball9637]

Love that the scrap is getting sold to a third party. When you all have details in place you should post who it goes to so the wood workers who watch can know where you go try and get some.

[@SuperMetalhead96]

I don't know if the final decisions for the classic adventuring party have been made. But personally, for the thief set, I think that the paduk core with wenge accents looks better, at least for the vault. I would like a better look at the prototypes, but I think I lean toward the paduk tops for the vault. I think that those look great separately, and by gut says they'll look fantastic as a set.

We couldn't clean it out because of crap growing out of it. so we just had to seal the whole thing with heavy-duty tape and spray foam in the crevasses since when we opened it the rubber seal just kinda fell off. it was that fun combination of heavy AND disgusting.
