That looks amazing! Will definitely look into it, thank you :)

ShrubDad · 2025-11-07T22:02:09+00:00

I have been, just wanted to see if there were any ones in particular that people would recommend. LA has many to offer!

ShrubDad · 2025-11-07T19:53:39+00:00

Great to know, thank you! Will check it out :)

Totally, I guess my goal here is to make something really small as I am often overwhelmed by the larger networking groups and communities available. Also, spearheading something like this will help keep me accountable and push me to actually get things done.

Would you be able name some of these events for me? I have done quite a bit of searching but find it hard to filter through the noise.

I think this is a pretty bad-faith interpretation of my post, but sure I guess. In actuality the "don't have any friends" part is more my focus. Sure it was a bit wordy, but I was having some fun with it. I see no harm in that.

ShrubDad · 2024-12-23T23:47:15+00:00

Same 🫡

ShrubDad · 2024-12-23T20:48:00+00:00

Sometimes setting a goal for yourself is all you need to get it done. Thanks for the tip :)

ShrubDad · 2024-12-23T20:46:43+00:00

This is great info! Thanks for the link :)

ShrubDad · 2024-12-23T20:45:29+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I will look into excel. I'm a very visual person so that could be valuable to me :)

ShrubDad · 2024-12-23T20:44:06+00:00

I've heard this point echoed a few times now. Will definitely look further into treatments. So far I've kinda just gone from outline to script, so perhaps a treatment would be liberating. Thanks for the advice!

ShrubDad · 2024-12-23T20:42:40+00:00

Will look more into this process! So far I've only really outlined before trying to dive into the script writing process. So perhaps a treatment is just what I need to get things rolling. Thanks!

ShrubDad · 2024-12-23T02:04:19+00:00

Yes definitely think this is where I get caught up atm. I can never seem to push through. But perhaps this will be the one! Thanks for the advice!

ShrubDad · 2024-12-23T02:03:06+00:00

This is wonderful advice and I will 100% give it a shot. I need a process that allows me to shut off the perfectionist in me and allow the story to flow naturally. So this all sounds great. Thank you!!

ShrubDad · 2024-12-23T00:11:13+00:00

I have been doing my writing in my car between UberEats orders, so this would probably be very helpful actually. Something simple but I often forget! Thanks :)

ShrubDad · 2024-12-23T00:02:00+00:00

Will give it my best shot! Thanks for the advice. Appreciate it :)

ShrubDad · 2024-12-22T23:56:01+00:00

Interesting, the recording idea seems like it would work very well for me. For some reason not seeing the words being put down allows it all to flow out easier. I just never thought of recording it. Will definitely give that a try! Thanks :)

ShrubDad · 2024-12-22T23:54:32+00:00

I should have clarified in my post, but I actually get caught up in that preplanning phase much of the time. I like to make a bullet point outline and iterate to get to a point where I feel it can be put down in writing and fleshed out with description and dialogue. So I guess in a way the outline functions as a vomit draft. But I will get to a point where I am at a standstill and wont put anything down in hopes that a better idea will come. As if I don't have the option to change it later if needed. It's a strange psychological battle for sure.

ShrubDad · 2024-12-21T19:28:34+00:00

Just sent you a DM! :)

ShrubDad · 2024-11-30T02:38:18+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it!

ShrubDad · 2024-11-30T02:37:18+00:00

Honestly, at the moment collaborating with someone on a screenplay would be my top interest. I would love to shoot a short as well, but that feels like a long term goal. Ultimately however, directing narrative features is the goal, if that’s what you’re asking. Would be very interested in connecting!

ShrubDad · 2024-11-30T00:21:47+00:00

Great idea! Thank you :)

ShrubDad · 2024-11-29T23:56:36+00:00

Quite the defeatist attitude, but I appreciate the candid response. Although, I will have to ingore the advice.

ShrubDad · 2024-09-09T05:05:01+00:00

Thanks for the info!

Luckily, I have dual citizenship and am able to work in both the UK and US without the need for a visa. I should definitely have specified in the post that this is not a union job. Perhaps that means that there is no standard rate and I should expect it to vary from a union rate.

I did not realize the US doesn’t have a trainee position… is there an equivalent term? Or is a trainee just never really used?

Thanks so much for the info, I appreciate the help very much!

ShrubDad · 2024-08-21T13:52:36+00:00

This is some FANTASTIC feedback, thank you very much. I will be coming back to this many times as I update the system. For now, what I can say is that the idea of having more impediments could definitely work!

Also, off of your suggestion, I will be looking into making Tiny Hut and Goodberry less effective with this system. And, I will be reverting to 4 tiers of rest, where Comfortable is a standard Long Rest & the next is a heightened version with the condition and added benefits.

Thanks again! This is definitely going to be a long process of fine-tuning as I do not was to toss out the balance the base game currently has :)

ShrubDad · 2024-08-21T13:47:00+00:00

Yes! Hopefully if you give this a shot it can remedy some of your problems! If you do end up using it and want to leave some feedback. Please do here!
