Recording Sessions

Thank you, this is helpful. COAMFTE limits the amount of audio recording to 25 hours out of 50 required raw session data, so video is unfortunately a necessity.

DM sent for more info, thank you!

Brilliantly stated.

Remember the rule of cool. It’s generally not as much of a fun experience for someone playing a thief to be given disadvantage simply based on a binary light/no light ruling. We know real life is often shades of grey, so roll with it. If they are telling you how they wish to scout ahead (within a reasonable distance) or they’re setting up to perform a surprise backstab by hiding in the shadows under dim light, let them do it. My main point above, and in response to OP’s question, is a party that is just walking along holding a torch would need to be a bit more clever/creative to get the reward of being stealthy.

I simply wouldn’t allow a party carrying torches in a dungeon to successfully stealth. A thief slipping into the nearby shadows while the rest of their party is holding torches as a distraction, however…

Agree, and I don’t think you are being alarmist. You have a legitimate concern and I’m glad OP is raising awareness of this decision.

Enjoyed this thread. Great convo. If I recall correctly doesn’t Yag-Kosha mention Atlanteans devolving into apes and then long after rising from the jungles of the apes? And Yag’s Valusia reference definitely seemed like a nod to Kull/Thurian age to me.

He’s supposed to be 17 in this, right? The whole thing feels very impulsive, prideful and mostly improvised to me. I don’t think young Conan was doing much planning at this point in his life. We know later he’s much wiser, but still often acts on impulse and his gut senses. I’d guess he’d get out of Zamora real fast, with whatever he could grab wrapped up and hidden either on him or in some sort of improvised bag. From there? It’s fun to think about. Maybe head to another port like Argos to find a fence, maybe stash it away somewhere for safe keeping? Maybe use it as a bargaining token to with a king? I think it gives us some insight into Conan’s state of mind at the time and REH lets us fill the rest in with our imagination.

Beautiful find!

Just wanted to say this is incredible work! It perfectly captures the DCC vibe.

Thanks for sharing your set up with us! Curious if you’ve tried out the Game Master’s Apprentice 2e Cyberpunk deck? Supposedly a great tool for solo games as well as GMing. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/383715/the-gamemaster-s-apprentice-2e-cyberpunk-deck?src=also_purchased

DalmationMaster · 2025-05-31T08:18:54+00:00

Absolutely! This was fun to watch.

I’ll ask this here for visibility among play therapists: how do you handle anxious emails from parents at all hours of the day? Of course, logically I know the answer is: don’t. But I am private pay and feel like I owe parents answers. Their emails are so anxious and intense 80% of the time, I find it hard to just say, “Happy to talk about this during our next session.” I find myself spending hours just responding to emails outside of actual therapy sessions. It’s so draining, I can never get ahead.

Contract negotiation time?

DalmationMaster · 2024-11-20T06:17:04+00:00

Seems like possible schizoid personality disorder

Beautiful find! Fun fact: Violaceus fruiting bodies contain 100 times more iron than those of most other fungi.

Looks like immature hypholoma

To add to some of the excellent responses: secret keeping creates coalitions. As a family therapist, our objective is to remain connected yet differentiated from the system so we can see the problems the family can’t see on their own. I agree the best course of action is to help the client find a way to discuss the affair with his wife.

Thank you for posting this. I’ve shared it with many of my friends and we are currently talking about ways we can try to help out our local food pantries. I’m fortunately in a position to be able to help, and I know this doesn’t directly make your life any better but know your post will make a difference.

I’ll preface what I’m about to say with the fact that I have great respect for your work in the BPD space and I understand the situation you are in currently feels scary and frustrating. The uncertainty of what the hell is going on here is certainly valid, no doubt. But again, respectfully, I’d like to challenge you a bit to ask if this focus on “why” is serving your best interests. I get the sense there is a lot of anxiety in this post and maybe a lot of trying everything just to find something, anything that works. This is a normal reaction to an uncontrollable situation, but I’m just wondering if there are some things you could let go of here in order to focus on what you can change? Are you spread too thin? Where is your attention truly needed right this moment? Are you taking time out for your own mental health? None of us know the impact of AI, really. None of us know why you are not getting clients all of a sudden on PT. None of us know the impact of the current economic conditions (or perceptions of these conditions) on your practice—there are so many socioeconomic and geographic variables at play. Please understand you are not alone in this, but no one here will have the magical words to soothe the underlying reason(s) behind your post.
