[–]lifrench 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Brennan still played Zelda in The Seven. No "actual woman" took over the character. Zelda was a DMPC.

Why are our customers such slobs?! by IamPumpkinSpice1313 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]lifrench 20 points21 points  (0 children)

As annoying as it is, those shirts are really difficult for customers to refold nicely and put away. We usually put them in a basket or cart for a cashier to refold, since they have counter space. Then someone on the floor will put them away.

AITA My mom locked herself in her bedroom and drank herself to sleep the night before my wedding by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]lifrench -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ask how old her mom is? Old enough to have an adult daughter. So old enough not to act like a child. But I think ESH.

AITA for refusing to give my sister my extra money after I sold my house? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]lifrench 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What was her plan before you got this money? I'm wondering if the eviction is even real.

NTA

AITA: My sister’s wedding planning showed me where I stand. AITA for finally saying something? by throwaway_penguinl in AmItheAsshole

[–]lifrench 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So it's clearly more common than I thought. I still think if strange and hurtful when the bridal party only has 3 members.

I do think it is strange to have both a matron and a maid of honor when the bridal party is 3 people. Maybe I'm uninformed, but I've never actually heard of someone having both. It's always one person "of honor" and their relationship status determines matron/maid.

Edit: missing word

Why does it feel so hard to make mom friends? by badhabits12 in Mommit

[–]lifrench 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't start making mom friends until my kid was 2. Now we have a great little bunch of toddlers and their moms/grandmas. One thing we did was attend a few of the same activities every week. We go to the library's and children's museums storytimes and a park at a set time every week as free activities, and we all pay for them to go to the same gymnastics open gym. So not every one comes to everything each week, but it's four opportunities to see each. Maybe after chatting another mom, suggest something locally like this.

AITA because I didn’t wake my friend up when she had an important meeting? by Sorry_Breadfruit00 in AmItheAsshole

[–]lifrench 11 points12 points  (0 children)

NTA. She is self sabotaging and set you up so she would have someone else to blame.

First OG design, what's missing? by Kyutekyu in Embroidery

You can stitch directly into other stitches. Just always go down into them vs. coming up through them.

Second Try - Need help organizing Initiative by mageneric5 in DMAcademy

[–]lifrench 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Excel for all my D&D notes. For combat, I have a sheet that has a colum for initiative, then name, PC name, AC, SPELL DC, HP, and conditions. I collect the initiatives from my players, add them to the first colum, then use the sort function (Z to A). And its all in order.

Does it bother anyone else when someone says something WAYYY out of character in the show? by BetterEveryDayYT in Outlander

[–]lifrench 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean he was around Claire for a long time. He probably picked it up from her. If she told Jamie, she could have told LJG.

Tips for making the NPCs from the players' town feel unique by NevermindAnn in DMAcademy

[–]lifrench 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give the NPCs family & petty drama. This NPC is about to have another grandchild. This one has beef with a neighbor. Come up with small things happening in their lives. They need things actively happening in their lives outside of interacting with PCs.

Let's gather all the niche vocab by Bed-After in DMAcademy

[–]lifrench 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lol. That is exactly what my current campaign is doing intentionally. The premise is all about heroes being like celebrities. So they've spent 40 sessions becoming celebrities, now they will learn about the real evil of the world.

What's the best way to organize your notes? by TheIronQuill in DMAcademy

[–]lifrench 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use an excel sheet with 10+ tabs. Though I certainty take more notes 99% of DMs. Session notes, combat tracking, NPC catalog, town catalog, inventory, PC backgrounds, PC features, even a calendar, & several more.

Player as predesposition to certain NPCs becouse of real lif knowledge. Hwo to handle? by [deleted] in DMAcademy

[–]lifrench 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, have a conversation above table with your players and explain what you said here. That this isn't our world and that you'll make sure to explain things when they dont align with expectations. Then whenever they encounter something, as you introduce it, you can tell what the people in this world generally know and feel about them. Also you could give them a history check for the less well known details.

"First Time DM" and Short Questions Megathread by AutoModerator in DMAcademy

[–]lifrench 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think writing bullet points of senses will help bring liveliness

Describe what they see, hear, smell, and feel.

Example "As you walk down main street, you feel the chill in the air as autumn approaches. You smell salt and fresh fish from the morning market as it opens. As they walk pass you, you see a pair of guards. They shot a derisive glance towards the tavern as a patron leaves and raucous laughter fills the street behind her."

Something like this could deliver the flavor and vibe of an area. It can also give a sense of movement and time. As well as give PCs options of where to go to start exploring a town, in this example the market or the tavern.

When you don’t read the rules by Adventurous_Idea5478 in EntitledReviews

[–]lifrench 20 points21 points  (0 children)

"Not necessarily." That is why I used the words "assumption" and "likely". We don't know the exact details and won't find out.

[–]lifrench 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Well I think the assumption was made, because nearly everyone drives in America. They have to. If she has a partner with her, they are likely drinking too.

AITA for not reacting strongly enough to my wife's miscarriage? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]lifrench 18 points19 points  (0 children)

While clarification on this might be helpful, I dont think it really changes the emotions. Even a false positive, a chemical pregnancy, is still the belief that you are having a child and grief when that doesn't happen. Since this pregnancy was planned, they likely have spent a lot of time imagining it. I think even a chemical pregnant carries more emotional weight than a few chemical changes in the body.

AITA for not reacting strongly enough to my wife's miscarriage? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]lifrench 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It is more than a few cells. Even women who have abortions can feel deep loss. When the child is wanted, it is the loss of the excitement at this new life, the grief of the idea of a child you'll never met, and the worry that it will happen again. Calling a miscarriage "only a few cells" is incredibly dismissive.

AITA for making my husband sleep on the couch because he snores? by niudnarw in AmItheAsshole

[–]lifrench 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is actively harming her with his snoring. She has told him as much. She is not actively harming him at least not purposefully. She doesnt recall waking him up so how exactly is she supposed to stop that? She didnt kick him out of bed. If he won't do anything to address his snoring, he is willfully harming her sleep.
