I bet there was a door with a lock on it once, but it got removed when everything overheated.

I think you should take what the DM said at face value. No hard feelings, just vibe mismatch. It happens.

Once in my early days, I ran a game where the players were all werewolves. I was reading a lot of GRM at the time and it was very edgy and I tried to give them a moral quandary: an injured baby. Do they curse the child with lycanthropy to save it?

That’s when the players hauled out the cursed healing potion from 15 sessions ago they’d been hauling around this whole time :/

The temptation to just post the address of a certain bar and a time is nearly overwhelming

That’s not really how bots work. It would have to be coded to actually read and reply to your responses

I disagree with everything besides #1. I think this may actually be too dated to be helpful.

Anyone gone back to school for an advanced degree after working in the field for a long time? What was your experience like?

The thought entered my mind to go back to school and get a Masters or something. I have 14 years in the field already but my bachelor’s was unrelated. Anyone else done something similar and have any input?

In a world where any doctor can make the whole bridge crew into Klingons in an afternoon, outpatient, there’s no reason I can’t become my fursona.

Ooh, this looks neat. I don’t think I’d use it for spurious notes but it might be a good replacement place to do the making-it-good part

You can use Google Forms to get the RSVP functionality you’re looking for. And maybe a dedicated Discord channel with suitable posting restrictions so it’s JUST DMs posting such forms? Or you could even have them DM you their pitches and you post them, such that you can make the channel so only you can post. I also like using this tool for scheduling: https://www.when2meet.com/

You need a method to quick jot stuff down in the moment. I use google keep for those thoughts/ideas. It’s on my phone, very low friction always to just pull it out and get something out of my head. Make it good later, just use your notes app (or an actual notepad if you’re oldschool) to get it out of your head so you can think of other stuff without worrying about losing it.

Also worth noting, when doing group stealth, you’re effectively limited by the least-stealthy party member, since it usually only takes one person getting caught to give the game away.

A friend’s MSP got wiped off the map by this, we think. Not just exploited in the wild but, apparently, easy enough that random vandal kiddies are playing with it

They used to just hit http://localhost/:<various ports>/cc.png which connected to your Creative Cloud app directly, but then Chrome started blocking Local Network Access, so they had to do this hosts file hack instead.

Ok but adobe what if you didn’t portscan me either, please.

Science Fantasy is usually a fantasy story in a setting typically associated with scifi. The classic example is Star Wars; it’s it a world with spaceships and lasers, but it’s about space wizards having swordfights.

Every custom, every belief, every fashion, every turn of speech?

No, of course not. Why would anyone waste effort on infinite irrelevant details? But everything there is to know, I know.

I do believe that player should be able to gain a basic understanding of the cultures their characters come from. The question is how much information can they get, and process?

You give them an overview at the start with the information you guess might be relevant or interesting to them, and supplement it during the game as necessary.
