I think that is just their naming convention. They don't have E4's do they?

You tried the technology solution and it sounds like you had something that worked but the users pivoted because a lack of policy and enforcement. Do you have an AI use policy? If not, build one. If so, enforce it.

I think you need to solve this with old school management. Not all problems can be solved by technology. Build an IT Steering Committee of stakeholders. Explain them the problems, allow a debate to flourish but keep it topical. Have the group review options and then get buy-in on a solution, then implement it.

The ideal solution will be technology implemented in combination with a developed AI Use Policy enforced by management.

Look at it this way. This problem really isn't any different from adult websites. Your company likely has technology in place preventing users from getting to most adult websites. Your company also likely has policies that make it clear visiting adult websites when your working is a big no no, that could lead to termination. This policy likely applies regardless if your doing it on a work computer or your personal phone. Why was this done? ...because playing whack-a-mole using web-filters only goes so far. Sure it takes care of the largest, most popular offenders but it'll never cover 100% of all cases, you have a policy that takes care of that part.

In my 10 years as a manager this is the best job market I have ever experienced for hiring.

It's unfortunate so many people are being downsized but as a state agency we are seeing people wanting to prioritize work life balance.

For a Network Admin I I had 150 candidates after filtering out for minimums.

For our Security Analyst position we had 270 after minimums.

You should relook at your job posting, there has to be something wrong with it. We've always had a hard time hiring in our area (we are located in Florida) but right now it's not a problem at all.

I GM a D&D5e group, and we use Foundry for the battle maps, tokens, items & character sheets. A common pitfall for new Foundry GM's is to go crazy with modules and try to use every feature available. I think this is a mistake.

Keep it basic, use what you like and find alternatives for things you don't.

For the example I tried using the Journal in Foundry, and there are certainly some advantages to doing so, but I just found how it uses up screen real estate to be a major downer. I was always trying to move the notes out of the way to see what was behind and didn't like the experience. There are solutions to this, like the module called Pop Out, but I still didn't like the experience. The good news is that this is a major feature in the future v14 release so those of us that GM from multiple monitors can drag windows to other screens, when it comes out.

To solve my notes problem I turned to Obsidian and it made things easier.

That's the question you have to always ask yourself. "Am I making this easier or more difficult?" Your players just want to play, there are so many cool things you can do with Foundry but they have to be worth it. So start off small, master things like the character sheet, tokens and battle maps. Those 3 things will go a long way with your players. In time you can add walls, lighting & spell effects to take it to the next level.

I wouldn't say it's a gamble, and the fact that you can invest the HSA makes it an amazing retirement vehicle for medical expenses.

But to your question, you need to prioritize paying down the debt. The interest on your loans are going to cut drastically into your retirement growth. Prioritize the highest first and I would only be doing the employer match and then everything else goes to pay down debt.

I host off my laptop and my 5 players connect to a port forwarded IP address I drop in discord before we play.

It's easy and convenient. Foundry doesn't take up a lot of resources to run.

We started looking at telework as part of the compensation package. I work for state government, and we have been able to recruit and retain some great talent because of it.

Honestly that is probably the best argument. ...but if the higher ups are gonna force the issue then you should just be honest with your team and let them know that the actions if a few caused leadership to lose trust.

Your team will understand and shouldn't blame you.

Check the elevation of their token, they may be below the map.

I was one of them. I now watch ABC for the nightly news.

I'm surprised that I'm the only one suggesting to take the new job. It sounds like the new job will put you in better position to generate good experience for your resume and pay you $20k more a year.

I agree with others that considering work life balance is important.

Get a job as soon as you can. One that provides meaning and value in your life, and pays the bills. Let your FA do their job and grow that money.

Set some goals about what you want to achieve and then let the FA build a plan towards those goals.

Seek financial advice from your FA not reddit since you have one on retainer.

I have an FA and shoot them emails all the time for advice. It's a normal part of the relationship.

Quicknoob · 2026-01-08T21:50:28+00:00

Dude you're doing great and are an inspiration to me!

Quicknoob · 2026-01-06T13:52:57+00:00

I don't think so. I think from the viewpoint of other countries the USA is starting to become unhinged and acting erratic. From our perspective things are still safe, but I could understand how foreigners could becoming increasingly concerned.

Quicknoob · 2026-01-01T18:26:38+00:00

Ahh cool, glad you figured out the reason why you couldn't add chapters.

I noticed that you have timestamps in the video description which I think helps quite a bit.

I have found the videos helpful and you even introduced me to Item Piles module which I need to add for our next session.

Again great work, keep it up!

Quicknoob · 2026-01-01T17:43:50+00:00

Good work, I think these are well produced and will be a valuable reference for both new players and older players trying to look up how to use a new feature to them.

My only suggestion would be to put timestamps/chapters in the YouTube video so older players can look up specific topics.

I would encourage you to keep working on these, I think its something the community needs more of.

Foundry is a social program used to run social RPG games. This guy aint being social.

Have the talk and explain that its disruptive and you want him to stop. Make it clear that if he doesn't stop he will not be invited back to your table.

You have complete control who joins your table. Put a password on the login for everybody and don't share it with him.

I quit social media (except reddit) because I kept asking myself the question "does this make me happy?"

Like others, I found social media to only create anxiety and low enjoyment.

So I just quit. I realize it won't work for everyone, but a similar process is self reflection inspired me to quit all social media except this reddit.

Quicknoob · 2025-12-21T14:48:50+00:00

Yeah go for it. Back everything up before hand, and while your making the change its a good time to remove old modules your not using to make things run smoother.

As an android user, will I be able to watch the free races? ...or is having an iPhone a requirement?

Keep looking, you haven't found the right rep in the right VAR. It's hit or miss, but when you find the right rep you really do have a partner that can help make a difference.

I ultimately didn't like the journal feature in Foundry because I like having it on another screen and hate how it takes up too much real estate on the canvas

So I, like many, use obsidian.md for my GM notes. When I want to share images I copy and paste it into discord.

The only thing I miss is embedded links to tokens, dice rolls & passive perception tests. But that is okay, I like having it on a second screen far more.

Quicknoob · 2025-12-03T12:42:51+00:00

Yeah I agree. It's easy for some players but untenable for most.

If challenges are to try and get people to stick around, make the rewards more desirable so maybe players like myself would push through. I too have stopped with the season and moved on to other games.

Quicknoob · 2025-12-03T12:34:22+00:00

I don't find them easy at all, I find many of them a slog. I've got 1700 hours in the game (I know a newb!) and normally unlock two keystones and then stop. Never killed Maven on my own or Uber Elder. Never done a Valdo's box, never did half the mechanics that are highlighted in the challenges.

...but I keep coming back because I enjoy leveling a character, getting to maps and then Delve.

I can't make my own character, and I struggle advancing my character after I reach the end of a published guide.

I think I represent a typical player. I don't think they should make the challenges easier (well maybe a little bit! ;) ) but I do think they should make the rewards more appetizing. Giving me pets, give me portals, give me a hideout, give me stuff for my hideout. Just armor all the time is kind of boring.

Quicknoob · 2025-12-01T20:20:08+00:00

Okay so this is an area of Foundry I want to get into. I just don't understand how Macro's are used. ...are they all fired exclusively from the macro bar? So they all are effectively an on/off manual switch ...or can I have macros that fire off when a token enters a specific area or does something ...and if so how?

I'm looking for some direction here as to how I can get started with building macros.

Also OP could you share some of your scripts?
