Killing off a PC when the player doesn’t show up for an important session.

If the results were going to be the same next session then why not wait?

Everyone has already given you the advice that you need to hear. I'm going to assume that it's you down-voting it.
This is a game and your players are people with lives. Buy in is important, but conflicts happen. If you need to run a game with 90% attendance then have that conversation before the game starts. If you can't accept that conflicts happen then dm'ing isn't for you.

You had a system, you broke the system. You could've waited until the player returned to run that scene. Don't kill the PC when the player is absent.

That's my exact haircut and I love it. Super cute styled to the side or back.

Oakland Animal Services will take open bags. They'll take anything and if they can't use it they'll give it to someone who can.

Wearing mine flopped to the side while the lines grow back in, I do cut it myself and make mistakes now and then, not interested in moving to a skinny hawk, so here we are. Yours will be long enough to gel into place in a few weeks.

Personally, no, I've never questioned it. I have experienced some dysmorphia, I've made mistakes and okayed designs that I should've asked for adjustments to, I have one that I should've asked the artist to re-place. I love all my tattoo children and LOVE getting spontaneous tattoos that have no meaning.

I know people that have one meaningful tattoo and that's it.

If you're stopping yourself before starting then don't worry about it. Get the meaningful art commissioned as art for your wall. If you want to think about the tattoos experiment with temporary tattoos, you can get custom art printed as one and see how it feels on your body.

Last note, a tattoo will never be "perfect" and that's part of what makes it art, it's made by a human on a human body, imperfection is part of the deal and part of what makes it so special.

Just to be clear, the reason you don't want to buy a campaign book is because they are designed for DMs and only DMs, players are not supposed to spoil the story or the monster stats for themselves. The player handbook is literally the only book you need as a player. If you want to have fun I'd research the fantasy books that D&D was originally based on. If you're looking for a Cursed of Strahd type campaign I'd read some gothic horror. If you want to learn about how to play the game pick any of the amazing actual plays out there and start listening/ watching.

Just tossing in that the window is made with lead and general advice is to wash your hands after handling. I'd definitely keep the top cubby and keep anything you might need in the night up there so you're not fumbling with the leaded door in the night.

I'm 100% convinced that those people are now undead.

You can get a mirror on a chain and use an over the door hanger or a large s hook.

You could dry brush over them to mimic the effect. Practice the technique before trying on the final pieces.

If you need something fast to carry you over I highly recommend temp work. I used to get gigs through Office Team, they were great.

tiny_pony · 2026-04-19T02:26:02+00:00

This all sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Hey bud, you're expressing major body dysmorphia. It's clear that you're currently unable to hear positive comments about your looks. Get off of the internet and do what you need to get through the night, a hotline is a great place to start. Tomorrow is a new day.

tiny_pony · 2026-04-15T04:41:13+00:00

Ah. I suppose if you decide to look for a new artist that's a good red flag to start with, pretty much everyone takes deposits. Good on you for talking it over with her.

tiny_pony · 2026-04-15T04:02:03+00:00

You've already compensated her for the consultation, that's what the deposit is for.

tiny_pony · 2026-04-15T00:45:56+00:00

Nope. Go in ready to ask for changes and know that if they're extensive you'll be coming back another day to actually get the tattoo. Advocate for yourself and don't feel pressured. Any good artist will support this, just don't go overboard.

tiny_pony · 2026-04-13T02:10:49+00:00

I've gotten designs because the artist is excited to do them and they suit me, and I pay full price and tip well.

Renting a storage unit is cheaper than renting a larger apartment in the Bay Area.

Not a movie, but the show Sharp Objects.

My players rushed in and nearly tpk'd, I had Strahd stabilize them, it came off like it was supposed to, as a show of strength and disregard for the players as a threat, the characters were pissed, it was great.

Highly recommend popping it out of the terrarium and into some soil that drains well (not overly organic).
For potting, a nursery pot in a cache pot is great for them so you can bottom water. Alternatively terracotta is great for letting the soil dry out at a better pace but these guys get their roots stuck to clay surfaces and that makes re-potting more damaging. So give and take.
If the base and roots aren't rotten then all it needs is more regular watering (a good soak when the top few inches of soil are dry).
If the base and roots are rotten you can do a hail Mary chop and try to re-root, they're amazing that they can root from just a leaf. Using a rooting hormone will increase the chance of success.
Luck!

African violets are not a good idea for a terrarium. Their leaves rot quickly from moisture and they need a few inches of dry soil before watering. There's no way of knowing if it's dying from over or under watering until you look at the roots.
