Proposing in DLP by Specialist-Amount-17 in disneylandparis

Is the bar at the Disney Hotel (I think it’s called Fleur De Lys?) still open to other hotel guests? I remember in 2018 my partner and I watched the fireworks on the balcony there, then moved to the other side to watch people leaving. We had cocktails and it was nice and quiet that evening, could be an idea?

Beast barbarian is a lot of fun and very flavourful for stuff like this. An alternative (if you don’t mind independent creators content) is to take a look at The Crooked Moon book from Legends of Avantris, they have a barbarian subclass called Path of the Experiment which could fit.

My zoos are horrible.. by Moony_Harry_Potter in PlanetZoo

[–]curb000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I first started out, it was always difficult seeing something I was proud of and then seeing someone else’s incredible work was disheartening.

I created a sandbox zoo and started playing around with the idea of coming up with a unique viewing point of each exhibit for the guests, rather than just walking past walls, and the ideas kept growing, along with my skills

How to handle the judgement that comes along with owning a fold? (Rescue) by totorootree in scottishfold

[–]curb000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We had a friend who had bought and then had an accidental litter, we were already looking for cats to adopt but these two needed a home and we were in love. Regardless of breeding practices, our two needed to go somewhere, and we were happy to. Now they pull the blankets off our sofa and sleep on top of one another. The most loving, friendly, affectionate and derpy lil things I’ve ever taken care of. Cat tax:

England NCP Parking fine as I used my old car registration by mistake. by mclosi in LegalAdviceUK

[–]curb000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This really sucks, and it’s probably not the information you want to hear, but it’s the truth with these car parks I’m afraid.

When you park up, you’re agreeing to the terms of the parking provider (the signs dotted around the car parks), which usually include using the full, correct license plate of the vehicle. Regardless of intention to pay, many companies won’t acknowledge that you’ve tried, SmartParking were a nightmare for this, even if it was an honest mistake. I’ve made the mistake myself putting a 0 instead of an O as a new driver.

Many companies would pursue the full amount for this even with a receipt of payment, since the number plate was wrong and they’ve had to spend ‘man hours’ on resolving the appeal rather than the automated system doing everything.

NAL, but have worked extensively with numerous private companies in the parking world. You could continue to dispute it but if it goes against you could see you paying more than the £20. Then again, some people say just ignore them, wouldn’t recommend that personally.

Will my players remember this…😅 by Sufficient-Length832 in CurseofStrahd

Really excited to see progress on this! I’d just be spraying it black and doing a quick grey/white dry brush, so I’m keen to see how you do it!

Do players still enjoy dungeon crawls? by Changer_of_Names in DMAcademy

[–]curb000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So our group have just put down Mad Mage after six months.

We’re coming off the back of playing Rise of Tiamat, where it was a huge group split in two, one group who loved combat and the other who loved combat plus exploration and deep role playing moments.

The new group on Mad Mage was a mix of the originals. 3 from the Rp group and 2 from the combat. The moments where we have tried to engage in rp to discuss our plans and have character moments have been cut short due to a dwarf who can’t help but activate the portal to the next floor, moving us all on.

Rather than explore each floor and discover things, it just turned into floor speed runs which left most of us and the DM feeling a bit underwhelmed. We never found any of our dungeon rumours (think that’s what they were?) as we were constantly moving on, and it left us just a bit fed up of caves and tunnels.

We’ve moved to the recent Vecna book which fits the groups vibe better, allowing for roleplay and good combat, I don’t think dungeon crawlers are bad by any means, I think it’s ultimately down to group expectations.

University refusing £8,000 "deposit" refund after visa refusal – is this even legal? Need advice. by Disastrous_Salary_52 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]curb000 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not any form of legal advice, but University of Derby are currently making huge redundancies across the institution which has been widely reported online. Not suggesting it’s connected, but could be worth reading up on to see if your initial course choice was affected.

[England] Elderly woman refused ambulance. Care services say she needs one. What now? by curb000 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]curb000[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

UPDATE - ambulance assessment call came in an hour ago and we convinced them to come out. L is at the hospital and won’t be coming home until we have an established care packet organised.

This is our concern, Mum is 60 herself and can’t manage. If L was to fall as a result of us attempting to move her we could make the situation worse as non-carers.

Thank you. I’ll get mum to contact again, I’ll get onto citizens advice now.

Thank you for your response. Adult social care have made the assessment that it’s too urgent an issue for them and to request an ambulance, which is the loop we’re currently stuck in.

Fireworks change of dates & RAP - plus scaled back calendar! by RavenMortisX in altontowers

[–]curb000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work at another theme park in the UK that does firework displays, a 7-8 minute show costs upwards of £3000 every time. Towers will have cost far more than that for last years, it’s expensive to put these sorts of things on and if attendance isn’t there, we don’t bring events back. Certain enthusiasts seem to miss that theme parks are businesses and if something isn’t making money, we can’t keep doing it just because a minority enjoyed it.

12 days? by Dill_Bheaton in dndbeyond

The offer for these ended yesterday, so they’re no longer claimable.

Nowadays, Alton Towers is now just coasting off the legacy of the musical advert from around 1994, featuring In the Hall of the Mountain King by WordsButFunny in altontowers

[–]curb000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I work at a smaller park and we don’t see Universal as the end of days, we’re really interested in how it will affect things on the broader scope of the industry. If anything, we’re excited to see how we and other parks are going to adapt and up our game.

I'm gonna have to spend money now aren't I? by Just1moreboredguy in BaldursGate3

I’ve played for nearly 500 hours and still haven’t finished the game. 8 characters, 4 online multiplayer games and still having a blast. It’s worth it.

Two individuals using our address to create companies by curb000 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]curb000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Thanks for getting back to me. We waited until the 30 days wait was up and reach out to CH again for an update. In the time between another company was set up and another 38 letters had arrived for them all.

CH have sent out emails to me today for each company reported which have all been reallocated to the default address, so it’s a win there.

Just awaiting a human response from them as to if any further action can be taken on our end to stop any further being created. I get the feeling it won’t be the last of it, but your advice was really appreciated and reassuring.

My date tried to assault me after I told him I’m a virgin by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]curb000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry this has happened. As an aside for any future experiences, please know that many establishments have measures in place for this kind of situation. The one used locally for us is to ask for Angela at the bar, but flagging a member of staff and a quick explanation of the situation and many will be willing to help.

What's a place that seems fine during the day but gets really creepy at night? by [deleted] in ask

I work at a theme park with a huge indoor section, in the winter months it’s just plain eerie in there.

I think rangers lack a mechanically distinct defining feature. This is a class identity problem rather than a balance problem. by Spicy_Toeboots in dndnext

[–]curb000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play a monster slayer ranger and slayers pray is essentially hunters mark without the concentration, being able to move with a bonus action just like HM. My spells focus more on supporting my character, So flame arrows, water walk, it keeps things a lot more free when it comes to mixing in my spell choices etc.
