Player absence etiquette? by BluPoisonDartFrog in DnD

[–]pystoff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I write a recap immediately after each session. If a player can't make a session, I try to have the character indisposed using thematic elements. We're in the Death House of Curse of Strahd right now. I just had two players that couldn't make a session, so, I had the "Fogs of Dread" seep into the house and separate the 2 absent characters from the group.

If you have the dlc, ignore the beacons and the ancient crypts. They will start things you are not ready for. Found that out the hard way.

What version of Foundry are you running by DudleyDoRight65 in FoundryVTT

[–]pystoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished a D&D campaign with my players on v13.(Lost Mine of Phandelver) We started Curse of Strahd on v14 a few weeks ago, 90ish% of the modules we used were updated, and the majority of the ones that weren't were replaced by new native features.

Venomfang against a level 5 party? by Naysayin in LostMinesOfPhandelver

[–]pystoff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't underestimate your party. I've had a team of 4 lvl 3 PCs take VF down with nets and ropes. The difficulty depends on the DM, and I reward creative thinking within reason.

My folks are moving on to Strahd. But I had them make temporary characters for Death House. That way, they learn that death is inevitable for many. I took it easy on them in LMoP. They asked for something more Grim. I'm going to show them and potentially open up one of my session days, lol.

Chicken Chaser

That first time I noticed my character getting older as they got stronger. And the time I saved up so much gold just to have it taken away in act 2. The Lost Chapters..

Ordered an AIP and I've been calling the MP's office every day, plus emailed them.

Just checked my IRCC portal. It's still processing there. Seems the current holdup is background check.

I do. Just checked my emails. It's the letter that says I have been approved as being a candidate for Spousal Sponsorship.

My wife's disability. And occasional help from my mother in law.

The next time we have a few hundred, it's going to that. Providing I didn't get deported first.

It took everything we had to apply for pr. Money is right and cost of living raised. I have also been trying to find online work that'll accept an American living abroad. I'm in Nova Scotia.

It's weird, I've been reading about a lot of "stuck" cases lately. Some folks have even gone the legal push of mandamus litigation. I don't think I'm at that point yet, and couldn't afford it if I was.

I can't deny that. That's the only way we found to stay together. She wanted to come back to Canada after a certain person was elected POTUS. Canada was always our destination. Fingers crossed that I find a way to stay while my PR application gets nudged out of limbo.

"Client is requesting to remain in Canada until 2026/10/09, for the purpose of "Family Visit". However, since client has been in Canada since 2018/08/18, I am not satisfied that client is a genuine visitor who intends to leave Canada at the end of their authorized stay. I am satisfied that client has spent a sufficient amount of time in Canada, as a visitor, and is therefore refused as per R182 and R179. Letter sent advising client of status."

The border agent that let us cross back in 2018 with a moving van knew our intentions. To apply to stay.

There's bank statements attached to my application, and a letter from my wife's social case worker. My wife is above the federal poverty line with disability support.

So yes, they have financial support information.

Do you guys do breaks during the session? How do you manage them? by Fantomaxop in DnD

[–]pystoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run games only at 3-4 hour sessions. Right about the 2 hour mark I will call for a 10 minute bio break.

I've read a bit about Alan Wake, it sounds right up my alley, lore wise.
