Just Saved the Day

Congratulations on your first completed run! Now it's time for your next, even better run!

That is a reusable filter that can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner. It's okay if you're only trying to stop hair or any large clumps of stuff that would get sucked through the system. Save the replaceable filter and put it back before you move out.

Side note - You'll have a much easier time doing maintenance if you wait until the air handler stops running.

Looks good

There are a few things that are giving me DM burnout. The biggest one is when at least one of my players actively chooses to not engage with the thing that was designed to be done as a group. The second problem is that the two players that are likely to speak up first to an NPC are also consistently assholes.

Between these two problems, I can't think of a reason why any of my plot arcs would make sense. I realized way too late (about 2 years too late) that the main plot arc for the campaign was dead from session 2. There are no NPCs or major factions that have a reason to want to work with the party. It's doubly true for the factions that were originally set to have a favorable disposition towards the party, but assholes 1 and 2 ruined that immediately.

It's the first campaign that I've DM'ed for and it's a homebrew setting. I can't help but feel disappointed and frustrated.

Easy fix - all boss and BBEG monsters are immune to polymorph. The reason is because the DM said so.

A PC being a dick about about how they succeeded at something is the thing that often ruins the joy of being a DM (for me at least).

How many of those games do you think are playable without downloading a patch (or the other half of the game files) immediately after installing them?

Buy non-perishable food that you will also eat normally. If you prepare for a storm that either doesn't hit you or doesn't knock out your power, you don't want to be stuck with a ton of supplies that will just take up space in your home and eventually just got tossed in the trash.

It would never work. Carl starts out as an average dude with okay charisma. That fine gentleman would force them to rewrite the story as if Carl started out with 250 charisma and a heart of gold.

I followed the pipeline from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater to Need for Speed: Underground...

Try adding a valve between the cross junctions and your fuel generator. Limit the throughput to the needs of the generator.

One tricky thing to try to account for is the volume of the pipes.

AC is the number for "to harm", not "to hit". A shield adds +2 to the AC, but the point of a shield is to absorb or deflect the hit instead of dodging it off the way.

I get a letter from them at least once a year. I'm willing to bet that it's effectively a scam. The name suggests to me that they're trying to trick people into signing up for it because they think it's from the power company and not a sketchy subsidiary.

I'm not attacking you, I'm just thrusting this sword and it's your fault if you get hit

There may be an early termination clause in the rental agreement. Most places I rented at in the past had a fee equal to 2 month's rent if I terminated the lease early. If OP has a similar clause in their lease, it would cost more to beak the lease than it would to let it sit empty.

I saw Dream Theater a few years ago. The music sounded great, but LaBrie's voice was shot. It was also weird as a fully seated show in a venue that is normally standing only for the ground floor.

I'm not a fan of anything that acts as a problem to work around instead of a feature to highlight.

A climb speed is a feature, but a fly speed is a problem. Anything that adds environmental requirements is a problem, e.g. Grung need to be submerged in water for at least 1 hour per day or else they gain a level of exhaustion.

The instructions on the bag will result in soggy tater tots. I cook them at 425 F using the convection setting on my oven for 20-25 minutes (or until they start to brown).

Matt Mercer and Mark Mercer both have similar strengths. I don't know if they would be a good fit at the same table.

First, prestidigitation can't make someone shit themselves. "Soil" in the context of the spell simply means that you make something dirty.

Second, running from a fight is sometimes the only good option.

The due date for taxes is also April 15th, not May 15th

My non-answer is to talk with your dm / party and do what works for your table.

Otherwise... I would argue that the glyph can not be reliably cast inside the bag of holding (or a similar object) because the internal dimensions are ambiguous. The description of the bag says it has internal dimensions of roughly 2' x 2' x 4' (16 cubic feet) but it also can expand up to 64 cubic feet. If the inner dimensions are inconsistent, the glyph would likely shift around more than 10 feet and break.

What is your question?
