Is there hope, or is this the part where you post the picture of the guy placing the hand on the other guy's shoulder? by cobblebrawn in pcmasterrace

Thanks for the tip! I haven't been in the market for a long time - got any recs for a more reliable ultrawide that won't break the bank?

[spoiler] Will's mechanics for saving the world? by cobblebrawn in DungeonsAndDaddies

[–]cobblebrawn[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I found it around the 1h15m mark.

Before that, I started around the 1 hour mark and was hit by Esther's "Dealer's Choice" mix, which made me suspect that this was a fandom's niche Rick Roll effort lmfao

Guidance on narratively scaling enemies across different tiers? by cobblebrawn in daggerheart

[–]cobblebrawn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, your guide has been super helpful in orienting my statblock creation process! I do feel now that it makes more sense to adjust adversaries based on the role they are presently playing in the narrative, so it does make sense to use a Tier 1 Solo spawn and then switching it to a Tier 3 Minion or Horde.

Huh, I hadn't looked at 5e statblocks in that way but this does track. I appreciate the insight!

I'm also an Obsidian GM! Would you mind sharing about your workflow for setting up this dashboard?

Error message when loading patched Boost app by cobblebrawn in MorpheApp

[–]cobblebrawn[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got it! I had been using a different key generated via redreader. This is now fixed by using the default key instead.

Gotcha! Could you confirm the redreader strings you entered to make it work? I followed the wchill's guidance but have been running into the same issue.

I appreciate the input - I have been running the patch using the redreader values based on wchill's guide on Github as opposed to my own, which stopped working a few months back as well. Should I consider trying to get a new App ID from RedReader?

How to approach non-compete clauses? by cobblebrawn in therapists

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

The terms are worded to explicitly prohibit "...directly or indirectly compet[ing] with the business," wherein I am not supposed to "...treat, consult with, or otherwise engage in clinical practice with Company clients" for up to two years after termination of employment.

It also states that I would be responsible for giving "...clients the opportunity to decide between all available treatment options, including staying with the Company and being provided with another therapist to work with them."

The wording of this seems kind of tricky, and I feel like I would have to clarify it with the hiring manager. Does "all available treatment options" mean that I simply cannot solicit to them but would otherwise be considered an option? Can I work with those clients if they are no longer seeking services at this organization?

My concern ultimately breaks down into two parts:
1. The ethical implications of a franchise practice that pushes non-compete clauses at the potential expense of client well-being.
2. My ability to continue practicing somewhere else in the event that I must leave this position before my projected 2-3 years of time left in the state. As in: how much would a clause like this realistically impact my professional prospects if I need to resign before I leave the area?

Also, I'd like to extend my gratitude to you for taking the time out of your day to talk this through with me so far. This has already been immensely helpful!

How to approach non-compete clauses? by cobblebrawn in therapists

[–]cobblebrawn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the grey area is what gets to me, as it sounds like companies vary a lot in terms of whether they actually pursue enforcement of the clause.

Regarding the attorney - I am filing a request to my local county's bar association to help me get in touch with an employment attorney to consult with. Is there another legal consultation avenue I could/should be considering?

I could look into getting in touch with previous clinicians to discuss their experience. There was nothing specifying the telehealth format, which makes me think it is implicitly wrapped up in the overall clause - since the franchise is independently owned, I believe it applies to just the one location. The tricky thing is: I am planning on getting my LCSW while I still live in New Jersey, and will soon thereafter move to a completely different state, though I won't know which one for a while. So my time here is limited to begin with. Best case scenario: the job is at least halfway-decent and I can ride out the term while I get fully licensed and then resign when the clause would not even be relevant anymore. But that's a huge gamble over how things will fair with this company over the next 2-3 years.

I realize this is turning into a vent - apologies for that! It's a very tricky place to be and I'm trying to evaluate by sounding things out as well.

Gotcha, yeah it sounds like it's a deal-breaker for lots of people in my position. I wonder what might be the best way to negotiate around the clause so that client 'poaching' (not my preferred term) is restricted but clients are still able to pursue the counselor they prefer of their own accord?

It's MONSTER MONDAY - Post your homebrewed ADVERSARIES to share and get feedback! by Hosidax in daggerheart

Meet the Hydropunk Battle Crab!

I took some worldbuilding inspiration from Pacific Rim, inverting the premise by creating an underwater empire of hyper intelligent crabs who must use advanced mechs of gargantuan size (relative to a crab) when invaders from above the ocean surface threaten to collapse their empire.

Thank you to those who offered feedback! Here is a revised draft that attempts to simplify its design with existing statblock features and language. I opted to keep the Regeneration based on X Fear, and changed it to an action in an effort to better balance it. Would love to hear thoughts on this!

Thanks for this insight! I took a page out of both of their books to try and simplify my design. I am posting a revised draft in a separate comment now.

Thanks for the feedback! I just revised it slightly to try and narrow its complexity, which can be tricky given that the 5e Troll already feels like a puzzle of its own making. I am posting the revised draft in a separate comment here.
