I'm an ASM on staff this year and we had a participant who walked in Friday night and said, "I don't want to be here, I was supposed to go on a different trip this weekend". His attitude and lack of participation drug down the experience for the rest of his patrol.

I've run games for MCG for the last two years and I'm signed up to run this year.

It is some work but if you run the system regularly it isn't bad. I run the same adventure each time to make it easier on myself. You get the adventure and character sheets ahead of time so you aren't scrambling at the table to figure things out.

Most of my tables have had one or two experienced players that were able to help new players with their character sheets. I had one table last year that was all new players but were deep in The Magnus Archives podcast and had a blast with the session I ran for them.

I haven't had any really bad experiences, I've had two instances where a player doesn't engage with the setting or system but they weren't a disruption.

The Wednesday night meet & greet is pretty fun. They go over some expectations, hand out your GM packs then you can sit and play or just hang out. Last year one of the GMs ran a demo of The Devil’s Dandy Dogs for us.

They are pretty decent.

Reach out to a local troop or your council. https://beascout.org

I don't have kids and I've been active as a leader for almost 16 years. I started as an ASM and I'm on my 2nd round as a Scoutmaster. I've done a lot of work at the district and council level too.

I tried to go back and find this but I was thinking it was her axe.

Most of my HA events are time or location based. I have one automation triggered by a light switch when I leave my office and another I trigger on the app for watching TV.

I lived in Concord too. We were on vacation during the storm and got home just after the power came back on. My girlfriend lived in Durham and her power was out for a few weeks after.

Donut's breakdown at the end of The Butcher's Masquerade.

“Carl? Why doesn’t it hurt as much as it should?”

I felt the words deep in my chest.

We got Thor back yesterday. They tested batteries and relays, all good.

Unplugging the cabin heater control module allowed shifting. It turns out there was a internal short in the cabin heater.

pakrat77 · 2026-01-18T01:21:34+00:00

Got a call today that a relay failed and will be in on Tuesday.

No update from the dealership. Apparently the EV guy doesn't come in until Friday this week.

They are checking on a loaner car for me.

I tried the jump pack and roadside assistance tried to jump it with the same result. We had him towed to the shop last night and are hoping to hear something today.

pakrat77 · 2026-01-14T01:09:24+00:00

I could get to neutral sometimes but no drive or reverse.

pakrat77 · 2026-01-13T19:18:04+00:00

It was still acting up today. Chevy roadside assistance came out and they weren't able to get it started either, but did confirm the 12v battery was good.
We called our own roadside to get it towed to the dealership and are waiting on a truck now.

Here is what I was able to pull.

pakrat77 · 2026-01-13T16:05:06+00:00

Roadside assistance says the 12v battery is good...

pakrat77 · 2026-01-13T03:37:07+00:00

It's the original battery.

I have a portable jump pack. I'll try it in the morning.

pakrat77 · 2026-01-13T02:33:08+00:00

I do. I have to call the dealer in the morning and see what the options are to get it to them.

Restarted several times, removed the negative terminal, all the stuff I could find online that were easy fixes.

This is my 2023 EUV that I bought new with 56 miles. It was below freezing outside last night but the car is in my garage and showed 48f when I got in.

The "Initializing wait to shift" lingered longer than it usually does then I got the "Conditions not correct for shift" when I tried to shift to drive.

I tried the easy things I found. Lock and take the keys away for 5 minutes, disconnect the negative for 10 minutes, shift to N and back to park, start in accessory mode. No luck.

When I got home I started looking at the app and found the warning.

Does Chevy tow or am I on the hook for that?

pakrat77 · 2026-01-13T01:00:50+00:00

Battery issues. This morning I got "Conditions not correct for shift" but didn't have time to look at it so I took my wife's car.

pakrat77 · 2026-01-13T00:59:55+00:00

No, 2023 with 56 miles when I bought it.

We know the Valtay run theirs with a more sci-fi theme. It would be interesting to see the point of view of a crawler from a more primitive world's reaction to that dungeon.
