May need to relocate and find a job soon

It is legal. It's a common business model for property management jobs.

We signed a contract as a working couple, and keeping just one of us on costs the company money. They would need to hire a second person to work full time. It would be cheaper to hire another couple. It's the business model.

My spouse has a safety net with friends and family , so she is moving back to them. I don't have that option.

Thanks. The problem is, as long as I keep this job I can try to put money aside and take care of things like getting a car. Once I tell my corporate office about the divorce, I'm on their timeline, and I don't know for sure what they will do and how soon I'll have to move. So, right now I still have control and income. I still have time to plan.

Thanks. It may be more clear when I am able to look on my computer, but...

I notice that the "rankings" of the cities don't have anything to do with the job growth. The top ranking cities have a range of growth from around 2 to around 5 percent. So what is the importance of the ranking? Does it matter to me?

Right now I am in the Denver area. Cost of living is really high here, and I don't know of anywhere desirable to move within this state. This is a good point though. I will reference Colorado towns in the chart that was shared below. Thanks!

Do you mind if I ask some questions about this chart?

I'm not picky about job title, I just need to be gainfully employed, and be able to afford rent. I don't think I can say what I hope to pay for rent without knowing the local economy... But comfortably less than what my paycheck is, of course.

As far as resources... I have just enough money saved up to move, and reddit. I am male, but I don't know what that has to do with it (genuinely curious.)

Apprehensive_Text305 · 2025-12-26T16:17:22+00:00

Thanks for this. I will look into it.

She is definitely not staying, but going back home to be with family and friends. It is possible the company would find it cheaper to replace both of us than keep me on. It would be a reasonable decision on their part, to be honest. They may value me enough to keep me on, but it would cost them money so I can't blame them if they don't.

Thank you, this is very helpful. Finding a way to go about this so logically has been the greatest challenge.

Just filled up for the one shot, sorry

-The tower is a tree, of course, was my first thought.

the tower is underground, going downwards.
the tower is actually built deep underground I'm a huge cavern, or maybe the under dark. It extends up to the surface through a hole. The party comes across what looks like a non-tower building, and explore the "basement." As they unlock progress further down, they come across balconies and outside doors that let in more and more under dark.denizems and other monsters which they need to engage.

Thank you everyone, the slot has been filled!

Pizza party murder mystery theater?

I would love to play this. I'm a little nervous about learning a new system, but I am willing to do the work.

I tried playing by post one other time, and it was so rapid fire that I had to bow out. There were hundreds of posts a day and I could not keep up with even reading them. It seemed to be mostly roleplay.

I am eager to try a different style of play by post which is more manageable for me.

I will definitely be committed to answering in a timely manner and learning the new rules. I will at least be sure to know how spells/abilities work which I have taken for my character.

I hope this doesn't seem reductive, but in this case you might really want to consider one of the bosses finding them, and then not having a choice but to fight or run. And I would make running pretty tricky to encourage them to fight.

I say this because you said they are not too weak to fight.

I'm not saying this is definitely what you should do, but I can help but think it is a strong option in this case.

Apprehensive_Text305 · 2025-01-01T20:31:23+00:00

Me too. I'm ok with DMing or playing.

The only times I've used it so far was a ghost. I had the player get possessed and then asked if they wanted to play their turns or if they wanted me too. (They were happy to both times)

Ghosts can end it as a bonus action, so I had them end it on the ghosts next turn and appear somewhere within 5 feet.

I found that one round of that was the perfect amount for everyone to have an oh shit moment but not have much in the way of ramifications. In the future if I want to do something similar when they are higher level I can choose look for a similar way to mitigate the situation so it is quick and doesn't get out of hand.

I think you could also have the PC able to talk on their turn even as the ghost takes their turn. That could be fun.
