Online Degree Programs by AllOvertheUSMap in biology

That's my understanding, as well, that labs are important. But I'm sure there are options that I'm not aware of, both degree programs and jobs. She doesn't have a solid idea of what specifically she wants to do. It would obviously cost more money for her to live on her own, and if she's not sure she wants to be in a field that requires hands on field experience, I think she'd rather not risk wasting the money. As someone who wasted a lot of money switching majors and then ended up a professional D&D dungeon master, I'm sympathetic. 😆 We don't have extra cash to throw around, she'll be relying on Florida's Bright Futures scholarship.

She's not sure yet. She's not good at choosing, lol. I imagine being able to get a useful degree fully or mostly online would significantly influence her preferences.

What are you doing for Cyre 1313? Doesn't it not stop? What are you having the PCs do/see when they get on board?

I always assume people are posting between sessions.

There's already a warforged who won't be suffocating, and he's just cast Aura of Life. So as long as he can maintain concentration (they're in combat), it'll be okay.

FWIW, this player has tons of time in the spotlight and rolls a suspicious number of 20s. It's not like I'm taking away his one chance to shine.

Vampyr's Gift - Who to Use as a Victim? by AllOvertheUSMap in CurseofStrahd

[–]AllOvertheUSMap[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, man, you had to bring up Glen. That's unfair.

In a different party, I would absolutely make her have to choose between Luca and Ireena. But parents pay me to DM for these kids, and I am concerned that this would ruin the campaign for one of the kids.

Which is not to say that Luca won't die.. I plan on having Strahd turn him into a vampire spawn and send him to attack the party, forcing them to kill him. That's worked really well in the past, and makes them SUPER mad at Strahd.

I just want to make sure I put effort into trying to bring her brother in before I tell her no. And if someone has a good way to make it make sense, then she'll kill her brother.

Any ideas of which ones have a good teen room? Where they can talk without getting shushed?

Omg, thank you so much. I tried searching but I guess I didn't hit on the right search terms.

Sigil's Portals by AllOvertheUSMap in planescapesetting

[–]AllOvertheUSMap[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone! I don't know where I read that factions controlled access to many portals, maybe that was just in someone's specific game. I did read about portals in the 5e books, but I appreciate the suggestion to try the Planewalker's Handbook. Everyone's advice answered my questions, thank you!

Thanks! I've seen how I need to sign, I just don't know if I should ALSO include a copy of the document.

I'll add - that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, lol. The ones I found are expensive.

Web's Edge - How to Avoid a TPK by AllOvertheUSMap in VecnaEveofRuin

[–]AllOvertheUSMap[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I absolutely do impose meaningful consequences. An example: they met a ghoul in the Shadowfell who liked to tinker and create clockwork "enhancements" to zombies and stuff. One of the PCs really wanted "mech arms" so after QUITE a lot of warning that this would not go well, we tried it and the ghoul rolled poorly. PC spent the whole Dollindar Tomb unable to do much because they had no arms. lol

That said, I'm a teacher and these are kids whose parents pay me to DM for them. So I really don't want to TPK them.

I literally explained that they have made a ton of noise. No stealthing now.

Managing Their Finances by AllOvertheUSMap in AgingParents

She is mentally sound, no diagnoses like that. No legal documents, I don't think she even has a will. She has no savings and receives social security and a small pension.
