I'm in the middle of the first book. So far there are plenty of differences to keep me interested and the show only covered about half of the first book. I do like the way the show made everything feel more tense, bit the book goes about things a bit differently.

It's a wyrmwood table. The chairs are from a local furniture store. All of the accessories for the table sit in the magnetic tracks, so we have cupholders and desks for laptops and tablets.

What do you mean "finish" MHW? Fashion Hunter has no ending

Same. Haven't been over there in weeks. I have a few friends that roll their eyes whenever I link to something or say "on Lemmy" when answering a "where did you find this?"

A teaching seminar was held in one of the classrooms that I took a class in. Students came in the next morning to see a username and password on the whiteboard. It didn't take long for us to test it on school computers.

The account had admin level access and could go into any student's directory. This led to rampant cheating on homework and labs.

I used it on my physics labs in senior year. I, and a few others, were caught and had to make up a few of the labs in the early morning in order to be able to take our finals. Also had detention for weeks.

A year later, after I had graduated and was in college for CS, I applied for a job at the school as a system administrator. The guidance counselor was in the room when I was talking to the IT admin. When I left, she brought up how I had broken policy and accessed files via that breach. The IT admin found me in the hall and asked me about it. I explained that I had taken my punishment, made up the labs, and didn't feel that it would affect my work at the school, but would withdraw my application anyway.

I wish I could have this. Two of my players take notes, but only one takes them in enough detail to piece things together. I recently gave a the not-so-great note taker a dream (full text was provided in a message) with a bunch of bread crumbs for their character to follow. It was to encourage them to talk with the other player characters and try to solve this mystery together by utilizing connections that the other players have. In this dream, I gave them:

  • A very uncommon first name of an important NPC they can seek out. The NPC is the Empress of one of the opposing countries.
  • A description of an area, including geographic markers that they could use to pinpoint its location. This place is very unique. If they ask someone in game that studies any sort of geography, they will likely be told where to go
  • A description of another set of the mcguffins that the team had just gathered. This is literally their main quest right now

The response I got back from the player was "Yeah... i don't know what i need to pull from this". This is from the player that keeps contacting me after the game saying that they want to interact more with the world and do more RP. When pressed with "well you could ask one of the other characters for help" I got a "nah, I want to do this on my own".

Please send help....

Liftoff is pretty good

If you use obsidian, like I do, you can use ttrpg-convert to pull down the 5etools data and convert it to markdown for storage in your vault.

I love dndspeak. I wrote a quick python script that just crawls through their list and stores them in my obsidian vault as tables. Super useful site
