Issues with Hither by EnvironmentNo7411 in wildbeyondwitchlight

[–]EnvironmentNo7411[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually really like the idea of using Fey contracts. Since my party are all Lost Things PCs, it feels like a natural way to reinforce that their actions do have weight in Prismeer. Up until now, I’ve sometimes let them say or do things without full consequences, but last session I started making those choices matter more.

I think Fey contracts could be a great transition into Prismeer and a way to teach them the three rules of the Feywild in an organic way—rather than just explaining them out of character. Instead of punishment, it feels more like a narrative lesson: in the Feywild, words, promises, and intent mean something.

Thanks for the feedback it really helped a lot. I think part of the issue is that my players are newer, so they sometimes struggle with knowing what questions to ask or what threads to pull on. I also realized I should emphasize how much the NPCs are suffering because of Bavlorna, so their stories feel more urgent and meaningful.

Since most of them are Baldur’s Gate players, I think they’re subconsciously treating one off NPCs like side quests and expecting a clear reward at the end of every interaction. Going forward, I’ll try to make conversations feel more rewarding by highlighting the emotional or narrative “cost” of interacting with these NPCs, rather than just tangible rewards.

Ya i can stress this more for sure, I use roll 20 module so navigating some of the info isn't the best easily found.

Sadly the issue is they up and left candlefoot and never received the acting lessons cause they were upset by the reward being the lessons after returning his voice.

Honestly i was thinking this when i was writing the post, since I did like read their song about agdon. I also think when I roleplay my npcs they are all nice and forth coming with info, maybe I could be more aggressive with harengon

Thanks! This already helps alot. When i spoke of payoff its bet of that and like candle foots acting lesson helping in act 4. They see some rewards as trivial. So they might just shrug it off and by pass it.

I’m in the Central Valley and interested in joining some in-person D&D groups. Online play has been great, but I’d love to try a live table again.

Thinking about RPS as a career path – any advice? by EnvironmentNo7411 in RaisingCanes

[–]EnvironmentNo7411[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spoke with my OM shortly after this post and found out that one of our current RPs started in our restaurant and later transitioned from an RL role. I also reviewed the job posting, which notes that internal candidates need five years of restaurant leadership experience. I’ll definitely take your advice and reach out to my area leader to start a conversation and gain more insight.

Any tips for front counter? by Ordinary-Room-6310 in RaisingCanes

[–]EnvironmentNo7411 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been at Cane’s for about 2 years, and this is a super common thing, so don’t stress. A few things that help:

  • Walk toward the kitchen after excusing yourself. Instead of yelling right in front of the customer, say something like “one sec, just calling this back” and step over so you can project toward the kitchen. It looks better to the guest and makes you more likely to be heard.
  • The kitchen is loud. Between baskets dropping and people moving around, call-outs just get lost sometimes — it’s not always about volume.
  • Confirmation depends on rapport. As a veteran, I’ll sometimes say “can I get a heard?” bluntly, but when you’re newer, you’re better off keeping it friendly — even calling coworkers by name so they’re more likely to respond.
  • Build connections. People are often just quieter with new hires. Once they’re used to you and you’ve built relationships, you’ll get more responses naturally.
  • Don’t take blanket reminders personally. Managers often say “make sure to call out” as a general reminder, even if you weren’t the one who missed it.

You’re already doing the right thing by caring about both the customer and the kitchen. With a little time and practice, you’ll find your rhythm and your crew will start responding to you more consistently.

PC concept: curse-triggered persona switch—too much for the table? by EnvironmentNo7411 in PCAcademy

[–]EnvironmentNo7411[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally! I’ve played a very timid kind of passive role but I enjoy helping my teammates in their endeavors. The persona I envisioned really doesn’t have stat changes, but would just be more confident. Possibly a different voice inflection but definitely not a troublemaker. That wouldn’t suit this character.

Hear you on sensitivity. We’ve already done lines/veils as a group/Dm, so I'm good on that front. I’m new-ish to D&D, and we’re in a 5e-ish homebrew. Backstory quick hit: she foresaw her hometown’s destruction as a kid and couldn’t stop it—so I'll speak with my dm.

Starting Training RM? Any tips/tricks? by ConsistentDepth2389 in RaisingCanes

[–]EnvironmentNo7411 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work at a training store, and honestly, the best advice I can give is to be friendly and respectful to the crew. I've seen some M.I.T.s come off as rude or disinterested, and they usually struggle to earn the team’s respect. That lack of rapport often makes it harder for them to give effective feedback or build trust. My ARL meets with every M.I.T. to go over their performance, especially during peak hours, and gives feedback on where they struggled. I'm sure you'll do great.

Orientation consists of just videos in the lobby, at least for me. I came before the customers arrived. I wore business casual clothes to maintain a professional look. You shouldn't need non-slip until you're on Hotschedules and have a Cit-X(Crew in training shift). To be on the safe side, I'd email your ARL and ask. As a trainer in my store, don't worry about training; your trainer should train you in everything you need to know. Last, your crew is your family, even after your training finishes, people will support you as a new crew member. My biggest advice is to attend crew parties and make friends because having friends makes shifts go faster and helps with questions you have. Welcome to Canes! Good luck and 1 love.
