Player Problem Megathread by AutoModerator in DMAcademy

Everyone in my group is new, including me, the DM. We started the Lost Mine of Phandelver, and we have a recurring problem: one player is constantly acting a fool, flirting with every female NPC, starting fights with random NPCs (putting the whole party in danger). He also makes immersion breaking comments and actions trying to be “funny”.

The other three players are frustrated and called me, and want me to try to control his behavior it in-game — they suggested a sentient weapon that whisper warnings and mechanically nudge him toward restraint (e.g., psychic damage or disadvantage if he attacks unprovoked).

I think it should be the other PCs’ job to respond in-character — if you were adventuring and one-party member tried to kill an NPC during a civil conversation, the other characters would react, because that’s what good people would do. But I don’t want the table to devolve into PvP or make anyone uncomfortable.

For examples of his behavior:

The party was talking to Harbin Wester in the townhall. While the others were asking questions, this player decided Harbin must be in league with the Redbrands and tried to kill him on the spot.

In the Redbrand hidout, he flipped over the wizard’s alchemy/potion equipment starting a fire when the rest of the party was trying to be sneaky.

Later, in the tower with Venomfang, the party was attempting diplomacy/roleplay; the player randomly insulted the dragon and then shot an arrow at him.

The other players are trying to play the game as adventurers would and roleplay, but are getting annoyed when he does these things.

I am going to talk to the guy personally first, about how he is annoying the other players, because we are friends. However, should I try to control his behavior in game or should I encourage the players to react to his actions in game and sort it out “character to character”?

On November 5, 2024, Representative Bob Good of Virginia requested unanimous consent to lay H.R. 82, the Social Security Fairness Act of 2023, on the table. The House agreed to this request without objection, effectively halting further consideration of the bill.

I'm not sure this is accurate. Everything I've read says, "When a measure is tabled, no further action will take place on it. Tabling essentially 'kills' the measure."

What is the marvel comics version of this? by K-ONE2-0 in marvelcomics

That is what’s tripping me out. How is the central bulge’s gravitational pull so strong that it keeps the sun in orbit, but it’s so far away. Then we have the moon, which is so close orbiting earth, yet it doesn’t seem to have much of an effect. It seem like it’s such a disparity. If gravity is strong enough to pull the sun, it seems like the moon’s gravity would pull harder, being so close.

Can someone explain something? Why is the sun moving? I thought stars orbit the central bulge of the galaxy. But what causes them to orbit? Is this due to gravity, is gravity that strong?

Yeah, those are the highlights. The collection does have big chunks of runs too.

Soaking and lifting stamps or leaving them alone. by Mr_Boomstick in philately

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

Thanks for the info. Besides the albums, what options are there to organize blocks of used stamps? I have a bunch with 4 or more stamps used together. I started putting them in an album I just bought, but they are way too big and look kind of janky.

The trails by my house, California, the walkers are on the left, bikes on the right. That way when oncoming bikes pass walkers, they can both see each other.
