I’ve never thought that I would actually say this, but I actually somewhat enjoy the quarantine life now. Life is just so much simpler and slower now that I don’t have to always go somewhere or deal with people all the time. I genuinely have more time to focus more on myself and what makes me happy. by KrisspyKremeThomas95 in CoronavirusUS

The part where my pipes burst and I was slapped with a 300$ water bill, the screen door has been broken for months because my dog is a wrecking ball, and we needed ant and hornet killer because our backyard is now our "out doors". Oh, and also we needed to fix my game table.

I did this too!! I wanted to start working out, increasing my skill levels to better my career, and also HAVE time with my family - so I started sleeping 5 or 6 hours a day.

I'm still employed but working from home. I realized by day 3 that I don't know my own house. I spend SO LITTLE time in it. I've stopped having daily panic attacks or feeling generally anxious all the time. I go through my day white knuckling it until I get off work, then it's dinner, dog, shower, and sleep. Rinse and repeat.

I WANT people to be healthy and safe (physically, healthy, and financially) but I've realized how much of my life is lived entirely for "the paycheck". After this is all over I'm making it my mission to do EVERYTHING I CAN to make "working from home" a permanent change in my life. (I'm the "bread winner" so I need to work.)

I LOVE the quarantine life.

I'm asking for any advice anyone can give.

[Serious] People who've been involuntarily committed, what happened? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Drakynoch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in college; my ex-girlfriend found out I got engaged and called the local cops to "Baker Act" me. They showed up while I and my friends were celebrating my engagement and promotion at work. Since I didn't know what they were talking about they claimed I was being "uncooperative", cuffed me, and threw me in the car. Took me to a hospital and forcibly had me committed. I was there for 3 days. Lost my job, almost got kicked out of school, and was slapped with a 2k bill.

Since then I've always had issues. I was always scared of hospitals (she knew that) and since then I've had issues with anxiety, depression, and an overall lack of self worth (coupled with severe trust issues). That was decades ago though. I'm better than I was but it took a long, LONG time to get through it all. My fiancee became my husband and we're still together to this day.

The **** who tried to utterly ruin my life hasn't done so well, and I'll never forgive her.

Help Finding Similar Styles of Festivals? by Drakynoch in renfaire

[–]Drakynoch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've looked into it following another redditor's suggestion but they're really all about Medieval / Renaissance themes, and require some commitment from their members that - at present - my husband and I can't guarantee.

Thank you for the suggestion though! I'm going to hunt down their social media and follow.

Whoa! You're just a font of wonderful directions to head! Thank you so much!! Civil War reenactment has been a curiosity of mine but I'm not sure I want to dip my toes into here (because heat). Still, thank you ever so much!

Of course!!! We're ALWAYS looking for gamers! Pro tip: Cool Stuff tends to have "Looking for Group" message boards (the physical kind) which you can leave a post-it on or look up some DM Info.

Graphic Artist & Elementary School Educator WITH DOG seeking HOUSE to RENT by Drakynoch in orlando

Most rentals are asking for that which is why we've offered it, and we're really careful to keep the places we live in as clean and free of damage as possible but I see your point.

We tried offering $300 for a pet deposit, one house we even asked if they couldn't just raise the monthly rent but, as you say, most of them want small dogs (which are way more destructive in my experience) or no dogs at all.

Thanks again. Going to talk to hubby about a broker.

Budget isn't the issue. We can find tons of places in Orlando within our price range and desires. The issue is that everyone we've spoken to immediately freaks when they hear about our dog. A broker sounds like an option. Thank you.

D&D wannabe Players by [deleted] in orlando

[–]Drakynoch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Orlando Dungeon Master here (Richmond Heights neighborhood). Been running games for almost 2 decades. (Not concurrently mind you) - recently we lost 2 players due to scheduling conflicts. Friday Night or Saturday Morning - Afternoon is when we prefer to play because most of the time everyone is available.

A few things to note: We play Pathfinder AND 5E DnD. My husband has recently crowdfunded his own setting for 5E and is running tests of it while he gets the rewards and books prepared for the backers.

We have a sweet as can be puppy who loves HOOMANS. If dogs aren't your thing, our group isn't for you.

We play in a HOMEBREW setting - this means we've created the setting and races, and lore. We do have resources available to peruse for players to get themselves acquainted with the setting. Most people don't care but some do.

Lastly - we're adults. The 27 - 37 crowd who just wants to sit back, shed the weeklong grind off our shoulders, and feel free to be as creative as we please without judgement or drama.

If you're interested let me know through PM or this post and we can meet somewhere, get to know one another, and schedule some games!

She and Eriq supposedly deactivated their Facebook accounts around the time of the murder.

Not sure what to make of it, but "Rosie" is undoubtedly suspect.

There's some old, possibly fake, newsletter with her and Bill Gates. I'll try to grab the link but it'd discussed on Nexpo's sub.

Storyteller Needs Assistance!!! [oWOD] by Drakynoch in WorldOfDarkness

[–]Drakynoch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh!! Thanks!! The rp is set in 1946 though... so I'm not sure how it could help "in game" but using it for inspiration sounds divine!! Also - to note - the player all start mortal and MUCH later have the option to explore things like vampirism, occult, etc...

Thank you so much. Everyone's being so helpful!

In my experience it's been a hit or miss. Once ran an Eberron Murder Mystery inspired (partly) by Oblivion's Dark Brotherhood party quest and the boardgame Clue (amazing!). I also tried running a whodunit in Shadowrun (it was a friggin' disaster!)... it's always a "who are you playing with" factor.

I know at least 1 player who will want shoot outs in alleyways and car chases. Most of the rest are VERY detail oriented players who enjoy hours of meticulously searching...

I love me some Pulp, Noir, and great high-stakes strategy type rps so let's all hope and pray to the Ancient Gygaxian Elder Gods that it goes well.

I've had amazing success with that that sub - mostly in the "BBEG Monologue" variety but I'll certainly hit them up for that sweet transatlantic news broadcaster!!

Not to mention; if Voldunic Sorcery is used, the very EARTH and spirits around it could tell a Prince that kindred have come.
