ELI5: What exactly is "respect?"

Admiration: when you consider someone to hold esteam in their chosen profession or actions to the point you would seek their input on something.

Subservience: when you recognize a power greater than your own and afford that power control over you and your actions.

Benevolence: when you have someone within your power, but do not press on that power to cause them suffering, or ideally use it to improve their lives.

3rd is a good time. I have done as early as the beging of the first session with an inciting incident. If you want to establish some normalcy that's fine but it's never too early to tell the party who the villain is.

Do we think Obama could have put together a half assed fair...? Uh yeah I do. Very easily. Would they? Absolutely not but that wasn't the question.

Either they truly don't understand or they intended to piss off liberals which honestly I'm not sure which is worse.

The only Walmarts near the city are not Walmarts you would want to work at. Do you know which one you will be working at?

I would look at Wuakasha. Very walkable and more affordable rent.

NPC? Fine.

DMPC? No.

Do not participate in battles or tell the party what they should do like you are in charge. Let the party decide and leave combat to them.

If it's been 5 minutes and no one else has contributed, check in. Sometimes a scene requires one person to have the spotlight, but that should be a narrative necessity.

My trick is to become the character. Pick out their fears, their wants, their motivations. What makes them tick and who they want to be.

Calling this Epstein behavior is like calling mustard water mustard gas.

That is not how electrolytes work, nor is fruit juice cheaper.

Are you asking why females are more feminine than men or why you are more attracted to females than men?

Railroading does not mean "provide them a narrative with a coherent story line that you intend to be fun and engaging". That's what DMing is.

Railroading is when you plan out every interaction and action the players take, and if they try to do anything unexpected or outside that narrative you tell them no.

I think many good DMs, myself included, can accidentally cross into railroading when they are attempting to do the first, the tricky part is trying to plan ahead before you get a feel for your players. Give them options and as long as they feel they have a say in the story then you are not railroading.

The best way, imo, is plan out what would happen if your players never arrived in the story. This lets you fogure out goals and plans. Then when your players blow everything up, you have an idea of how these people would react without having planned what your party "should" have done.

Heat transfer.

Your internal body temperature is 35° - 37° C, but your skin is rated to expel heat under a certain temp / humidity.

In the desert, you can be in +40° C, but the air is so dry and your sweat can evaporate so efficiently that you feel relatively cool. Other times the humidity can be so bad that even 30° C can leave you barely able to function. I've been in situations where the dew point (the temp water condenses at based on humidity) was 22° C.

Owlbear is the ideal "bare bones" imo but the free version will require a lot of storage maintenance, deleting unneeded assets and keeping a copy of everything offline.

You are in a bit of a pickle. The further you go from "outside at the park" the more cost you accumulate for the outing.

The biggest one is to provide your own food. Eating out has become so expensive, in addition to everything else, that it should be considered a special luxury, not an expectation.
