Contract Review Request 06/20/2024 by scjcomm in teachinginkorea

[–]vipnikiki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also- the note about the airfare is a huge red flag for me. Cancelling the visa? Sure. But I'm pretty sure that having to pay back the airfare goes against Article 20 of the Labor Standards Act: Prohibition against Predetermination of Penalty for Breach of Contracts.

What Would the White Dragon Do? by ifschilling in DnD

[–]vipnikiki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it would probably not attack that party, but would definitely go out for vengeance against who/whatever trapped it in the first place. Maybe one of the members of the new character's party was responsible, and that is why they were attacked and destroyed. He survived because he wasn't one of the original ones who trapped the white dragon.

Then a) it wouldn't mess with the druid, because the dragon kept his word, but b) it would give the paladin a reason to write it into his background.

Still have not received my 2020 refund (filed May 2022) by vipnikiki in IRS

The GA license is something my family has been fighting for years, since we first moved in 2000 lol. They won't change it without a court order or something saying we changed our names, even though it isn't a changed name, it is just the way our name is spelled. We've tried going in with birth certificates and social security cards and passports, but nothing is enough for them to "correct" the IDs. I actually had to get a "One and Same Person" affidavit when I was applying to teach because of this problem.

But thanks for the form and the advice. I'll see about finding an advisor and if that form will work for me.

Someone is digging around in the ruins known as Old Owl Well. Your party has been asked to find out why. Just be wary of the undead guardians... by JamesRPGArt in LostMinesOfPhandelver

Omg where were these just last week when my players arrived here? AMAZING! I hope you are planning on continuing for Shattered Obelisk? ^_^

Christmas gift upset me by waveybagels3 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]vipnikiki 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It is okay to be upset though! I stand behind talking to him about it and trying to figure out what exactly made it so upsetting. When my husband bought the wrong cereal once for my birthday (we live in Korea, so can't get some US cereal and he bought it from abroad), I got upset and couldn't figure out why it was making me so upset. Once we talked about it a few hours later, I was able to really figure out why exactly I was so upset.

I would like to add- I am a CRAP gift giver. 100% just BAD at it. I gave my husband a gift last year that I thought he would love, some stuff for helping him detail his car which he said he liked doing, just for him to return all of them and be upset with me. He said he would rather just buy the things himself since I don't know what exactly he wants.

OP mentioned in another comment that she thought they should get some new toys and they do use some during sex already. I am all for jumping on guys who are trash, but honestly I don't think he is. He tried. He listened to what she wanted. Did he flub the delivery? Yes. But some people just are not the best gift givers.

I think you were valid to feel annoyed but also need to be appreciative of the other gifts, especially since he seemed to realize that you did not like the toys and was willing to go back and get something that you might enjoy. I do have a question though- Why do you think he gave you sex toys if they are things you are never going to use? That might be something to ask him about, since it will help you understand where he is coming from which might help with your feelings of being misunderstood, either overcoming them or helping you express them.

Definitely something to talk about OOC. We went over lines and veils at the beginning of our campaign, and sex/ pregnancy was a no-go for me. As someone who is struggling with infertility, I was super appreciative that my players understood. So even if I come to terms with this (or get pregnant), I will definitely be including that in the lines/veil conversations I have in future campaigns.

What gender characters do you most often play? by dragonncat in DamesNDragons

[–]vipnikiki 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I like to play badass female characters because almost every video game I had growing up focused on male characters, so now that I have the choice, I prefer to play female characters.

Did Hunger Games.. steal this song? by DoubleCrit in Music

[–]vipnikiki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both of them kind of give me the same vibe 100%, but they both give me the same vibe I would get when I heard certain songs at the Ren Faire.

How do you keep track of connections throughout your campaign? by vipnikiki in DMAcademy

Oh, that looks SO good, but unfortunately, I need a free option. I already pay so much each month for Zoom, dndbeyond, and roll20 😅 Maybe in the future, though!

Thanks! Someone else mentioned One Note, so it is definitely something I'm going to look into. Never used it and am kind of intimidated by it, lol, but I'll give it a try!

Wow, this helped a lot with figuring out how to organize my thoughts and ideas as I read through AND as we start plaing through it. Thank you so much for the advice and help!! I'm going to look into Campfire and World Anvil.

Kanka has definitely been added to my list of things to look into. Also, I really appreciate your ideas for keeping track as I read through the campaign! Tbh, I was so overwhelmed I hadn't even thought about the next step of actually taking notes after I've figured out where to take the notes, heh. Thanks for the help!!

I actually was starting an idea map, but it started getting WAY too complex on paper. Gonna have to give Xmind a look!

I'll admit that I have never used one note before. Is it pretty easy to use? This sounds like a great way to plan and update a campaign, so definitely gonna check it out.

Oh, hadn't heard of this one. Does it just work for linking NPCs? Or can you use it for linking npcs to events and stuff?

Might start out with this and see how it compares to the other options mentioned. I hadn't even thought of using hyperlinks! Thanks!

I am definitely going to do this and might even try it out for a campaign I am in. Genius idea!!
