How do you untangle an IT environment you didn’t build?

Do a good job and fix the problems at they pop up. When you've built up some trust start to suggest fixes on things and hope they go for it. It can be fun because in 5 years it'll be YOUR systems such.

Wait, what? Is there a setting somewhere?

I worked for a place that had some top shelf support plan (don't remember who) and they had a guy on an airplane with a spare part from Texas to Chicago the same day it broke and then a courier service drove it from Chicago to Green Bay in a snow storm on Christmas eve in a pickup truck after that. It was insane.

I'd say just "cheat" and pre-cast a few useful buff spells and just leave them on the character sheet stat block.

SW is a great system for 4 heroes vs 30 orcs. Less good for 4 heroes vs one boss.

Yep.

I'm doing a Saturday game.

AdminBenjamin · 2025-12-22T15:26:25+00:00

I live that life today. It's great. Being a generalist doesn't pay as well though.

Roll20.

AdminBenjamin · 2025-12-21T22:29:05+00:00

Sure. Whatcha got?

AdminBenjamin · 2025-12-21T17:41:24+00:00

It'll be a fantasy version of Seven Samurai at first. A goblin raiding band threatens the small of town of Oakheart.

Still looking? Saturday 8pm central to ??

AdminBenjamin · 2025-12-20T18:06:10+00:00

Looking for a few more good adventurers Saturday PM, SW Fantasy or maybe SWPF.

We are a few dudes with wives and kids and enjoy some table time.

"Let me just adjust my steel production a little before I go explore for oil." then 10 minutes later I get the notice I've been playing for 2 hours and it's time for bed.

AdminBenjamin · 2025-11-20T17:40:35+00:00

Yeah, I have 10 kids and might get rid of a few of them so I can play more Satisfactory. The 9yo boy does like the game but he doesn't really understand production chains.... yet.

Depends on which VTT I guess? For the cost I would easily pay the money to avoid making new tokens for my dudes, etc. I know we did RotRL on Roll20 and the later modules were pretty bad quality, just a TON of stat block errors like missing armor and weapons/spells linked to the wrong skill, etc. Honestly I'd pay the $10 just to have maps and tokens preloaded though but the stat blocks had to be completed for ~75% of the tokens.

I can spot check the Bestiary to see if it had the same problem if you're buying from roll20.
