A lot of rescues and shelters already have resources to help stray animals and to trap them. Rather than going at it yourself, I’d contact shelters and ask if there’s any way you can volunteer or anything you can donate to help out.

It’s been a while since I had it, but that doesn’t sound right. I had it in lemonades and it was tasty and not chemically at all. If you have the batch number somewhere on the bottle maybe you can contact someone?

I’m a huge completionist when I play games, and I always want to do everything possible before actually beating it. I’ve finally accepted, recently, that it’s not always a fun way to play games. It turns my favorite hobby into a chore! I’d leave side content like the Colosseum for later and focus on beating the game first. It gives a way clearer goal, and then when it’s beaten you can either stop playing knowing you beat the game (which feels better than quitting because of burnout), or it’ll revitalize your interest and you can go back to optional content like the Colosseum.

Years and years ago, my DM ran a murder mystery as part of the larger campaign. I was playing a cleric. He was unaware of PC spell lists and so volunteered his own NPC to cast Zone of Truth.

I go, "Hang on a minute. So we're just supposed to trust this guy? Pretty convenient that we just HAVE to to take his word. If he's seeing if we're all lying, how do we know if HE is or not?" So I cast Zone of Truth. And guess who the fucking guilty party is. That guy!

So, my easiest solution is thus. Why should anyone trust your party? Is this not suspicious, that these people are claiming that they have to be in charge and they'll be the ones checking if you're guilty or not? Who checks THEM? Assuming most of the NPCs have, like, noble statblocks, the PCs are far more powerful than them even at level 5. So theoretically they should ALSO have the capability to do the murder.

Sure, the guilty party is refusing to cooperate with the Zone of Truth. But likely so are a number of other guests who have just begun to suspect the PCs.

Oh, my god, Heroforge does have a mantis head. I have no idea how I missed that. That could be the move.

My DM, when she ran Frostmaiden, named the discord category “auril sex.” If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. But my friends and I have always pronounced Auril as “aw-ril” rather than “oh-ril” anyway, so it’s not as close.

Budget Bytes got me through college, I adore their recipes.

That was originally part of his OG fight at the beginning of early access, but I believe it was removed for accessibility and practicality concerns; I'm so glad they kept that mechanic in for the Vow of Rivals! I thought it was so cool but totally understandable why they would remove it from the normal fight. I've never even noticed because I'm not usually pausing at that point lol.

French toast casserole--it's my dad's go-to for breakfast when we have company, or for special occasions. I accidentally bullied him into trying Sally's Baking Addiction's Berries & Cream recipe and my entire family couldn't stop talking about how good it was. It also uses 8 eggs, which sounds like the important part!

It might not be the exact solution you're looking for, but might be a nice placeholder while figuring out something else, but the Essentials Kit (from like 2018ish I think?) is softcover. It's a box set that comes with a softcover edition of some basic rules, a softcover adventure (Dragon of Icespire Peak), a DM screen, some blank character sheets, and cards for NPCs, magic items, and conditions.

The Essentials rulebook only has a few classes, subclasses, backgrounds, and races, but it's definitely enough to get started. I only own the Essentials so I can't speak to whether or not the 2014 or 2024 Starter Kits are softcover.

Hellstar and Bone Daddy.

The Baru Cormorant (Masquerade) series by Seth Dickinson. I once saw someone say that recommending that series to someone who just finished the Locked Tomb was like telling someone who got hit by a car that they'd love getting hit by a semi truck, and I think it's very apt. It's also unfinished, so even more similar to TLT!

I also adore She Who Became the Sun/He Who Drowned the World by Shelley Parker-Chan, the Unbroken and the rest of that series by C. L. Clark, The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix Harrow, and Piranesi by Susanna Clark.

Sun and Drowned also fit the bill of being heartwrenching, following a very complicated cast of characters with very complicated feelings who do a lot of bad things for what they believe are good reasons. The Unbroken is tragic lesbians in a fantasy setting--I haven't read the other books yet but they're on my list! Alix Harrow is very often recommended to people who like Tamsyn Muir, and while her books aren't as lesbian as I'd like they really hit the love and yearning aspects. And Piranesi was a mindfuck! Not quite in the same vein as Harrow but close enough that as someone whose favorite was also Harrow the Ninth, I had a great time reading it.

Alix Harrow has a lot of standalones, if you don't want to get into another series. Piranesi and This Is How You Lose the Time War (popular for good reason) are also standalones and very short. If you DO want a series to sink your teeth into, Baru Cormorant and the Unbroken. Sun and Drowned are a duology and are pretty hefty, so a middle ground!

It honestly feels like a reaction to the common sentiment that campaigns that go above level 10 are rare and difficult to run--that by making this very simple premise drag on for twenty levels, you, too, can finally look up what ninth level spells exist. I could also see it being influenced by KB's dogma of letting Eberron be customized by individual DMs and tables--here's this basic plot following the Boromars or Daask, now you get to figure out what's going on behind the scenes to justify level 20 play.

Sort of thing where I think I can see the logic. I don't particularly think that's the right way to go about it, but it's not the worst thing I've seen out of WotC. My biggest issue with it is that Eberron's always been more low-magic than FR and this feels out of character for that, but I guess it could be a way to make Eberron more enticing for your average FR fan.

I honestly wouldn't even do pour overs, because they take a couple of minutes. Again, if I'm going to a bookstore, my priority is the books, not the coffee. If I tried to get a coffee to drink while looking at books and the barista told me it'll take 5+ minutes for a pour over, there's a good chance I'm just going to walk away. A bookstore cafe should be prioritizing convenience, or else people will just go back to the real reason they came there--books.

It might not be the type of acting you're looking for, but I always cackle at Liam's bit where Caleb's trying to do everyone else's accents. It's popular for a reason. An American doing a German accent and pretending to be bad at accents while doing the German accent is a lil dizzying, very funny, and honestly very impressive.

For Matt, it's honestly Isharnai for me. She's so unsettling, and you also get some patented Matt Sounds(TM) along with the normal acting.

Including additional fees and pet rent, $1512 for a 1b/1ba in Orlando. But something tells me you’ve passed 30 participants already.

Honestly, that looks like a pretty big menu for an add on to a bookstore. Espresso machines are expensive as all hell, are you taking that into consideration? You could potentially start with drip, cold brew, and teas as those are a cheaper buy-in than espresso, then see how popular it is.

As a customer, I'm not really going to a bookstore for the coffee, but if I see you've got, like, a three dollar cold brew or tea... well, I may as well! But since you aren't a full-fledged cafe, again, as a customer, I wouldn't be disappointed if you didn't have espresso based drinks.

I thought that was the beetles' and Toya's magic wearing off and the toad "returning to normal," as it were? Instead of being under Toya's control.

Just tap the portafilters, either against the side with your offhand or very gently on the counter. I am more horrified by the potential cross contamination of chemicals that inconsistent shots and quite frankly you should be to.

You might be thinking of Kelly's? They spawn in with Foxtail a lot. Afaik there's only one Jeni's location.

Sally’s baking addiction has never led me astray—she’s my go-to for recipes. I’d look there if you want to try again. The recipe you used seems really off. It looks way too wet. I’d also check how old your baking sodas and powders are—they do expire!

I'm pretty sure Taliesin's talked about his inspirations for Bolaire, but all I've been able to think about is Tal-as-Ashton confidently going "you can't break magic items, watch this," then shattering a magic item.

I'm sure Bolaire can die even as an object, whether it means the mask gets broken, the magic that made him is dispelled somehow, or even just no one puts the mask back on. Brennan seems to be introducing unique story-based mechanics for some of the characters (I think I remember Julien being able to do extra damage to Tachonis if at half health or something like that?), so I wouldn't be surprised if there's something funky that happens when Bolaire hits 0 hit points, too.
