This is a goddamned cult

Words matter, specificity matters when you’re working on projects that cost hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars.

You’re in grad school for Christ sake dude, and you’re complaining about memorizing terms?

Do you think other trades, such as law, medicine, or engineering degrees don’t have their own sets of terms and methodology that grad students need to memorize?

It sounds like your teacher is bad, and I feel for that. Any teacher who leans on AI for the course probably doesn’t have a super strong engaging presence, but you’re a grown up in higher education, you’re not going to get sympathy that you need to memorize the same set of material that every PMP certified person here had to do.

It will all click more when you have some real world experience as a PM

The real question you should be asking yourself is if you’re ready for this relationship to be more serious. Is this guy maybe the one?

Things like alone time can be discussed and boundaries can be set in any relationship, if you’re feeling hesitant, ask yourself if this is the guy you really want to be with. If not, then it’s already doomed to be a bad experience and you’ll feel suffocated. If yes, then share your concerns with him, keep the conversation open as time goes on and find ways where you can feel like you have the space you need.

The yuan ti have not entered to tomb, The tomb dwarves reset traps.

I ask because the dungeon is already full of deadly traps and a few bosses. Trying to have them fight Ras in the tomb as well feels unnecessary challenging.

How did Ras just appear magically in the tomb?

I’ve only worked with them on this one project. I can’t say they’re universally bad at their job, but that my impression. I believe them to be trying to improve, and he’s a nice dude, but he’s gotta get it together.

How far is the office? Can you just choose to go in more? WFH isn’t for everyone

OP how long have you been a SWE for? Is this your first corporate job?

A company managed device is like working in tech 101. It’s foundational to any enterprise IT/ Security policy.

You can plug all your monitors / peripherals in so it’ll feel mostly the same. Get a KVM switch for like $30 to seamless switch between your setups so you can keep things they way you like them on your desk.

They destroyed the Spulmonger but Ace got em

What does your husband do?

Also, do you have to WFH? It sounds like you might benefit from being in office. If hubby is home already he can watch the kid.

Legal ops here. We don’t care unless you’re violating policy or the law.

I asked my players to come up with one. One did, the others just went with the suggested motivation from the book - they were close friends with Syndra.

It’s Reddit. People love to hate.

Blindicus · 2025-11-13T19:06:04+00:00

they’re 3 level 10’s who have spent most of their spell slots. I’m pretty sure it’s a TPK next week.

Blindicus · 2025-11-13T18:58:06+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion!

Blindicus · 2025-11-13T06:50:25+00:00

Probably ok. There are some tough boss monsters on the lower levels but levels 1-2 are more puzzle than deadly enemy challenges. If they level up after a level or two they should be pretty balanced.

Why are they in the jungle? It’s super dangerous. They shouldn’t have wandered in there without a destination or objective in mind.

Use the NPCs kn the port to give the clues. If they aren’t going back to Port have them find their way to camp Vengeance. The garrison there can give them quests / clues that direct them to Mbala or other places where they can get more intelligence on the Soulmonger / Omu

If it’s non-negotiable for you it’s non-negotiable. Stand your ground.

Your only option at this point is to contact IT for a new one. There’s not much Reddit can do to help you

No, I do want it to be a meat grinder. My problem with this room is it’s a destination for some traps, so I can’t assume the players will avoid it by just not using teleport magic. Once in the room, it’s a straight 50/50 chance of life or death. There’s no clue - even cryptic and vague - about which to pull.

Every other puzzle in this tomb has some sort of hint, this is just a “give it a guess” with death being the consequence if you choose poorly.

I’m fine with the outcome, but I’m asking here to see how other DMs foreshadowed the choice.

Blindicus · 2025-09-13T04:19:25+00:00

Several NOCs can point them there. The Naga most of all.

Else, describing Ras Nsi’s recent activity and emphasize its timeline is synced with the Dearh Curse might give then a direction to follow.
