are there quivers of ehlonna in 5e
A local DM just posted an interesting solution for Wild Magic Sorcerers, if anyone's interested: https://ttrpgmusingsofmack.blogspot.com/2022/04/dnd-5e-wild-magic-sorcerer- redesign.html
DM, are we using Mordenkanian's updated eladrin rules?
5E needs to do better by sorcerers not up to date like Tasha's were.
Interesting. Worth a try, if you like.
In think it would be interesting to try it out, but I don't want to take things too far.

I like that mechanic. Have played a wild magic user before, this would have been so fun.
Dragonlance in the fall
It looks like 2 products, a board game for mass army combat called Heroes of Krynn. The other is an adventure about the time of the War of the Lance called Shadows of the Dark Queen or something like that.
Long, weird day at work and prepping for an interview today and Friday. I will try to update later.

This teaching job would be a great one, no more than 18 students per class, with 6 weeks classes around different themes. Friday is for a headmaster position for a local Catholic high school that is based on a classical curriculum.

Oh sweet jobs both. I left the high school for community college and haven't regretted it until most recently with the bone headed lack of basic spelling and sentence structure as well as paragraph structure I have been forced to teach in the first month with people saying "why do we need to know that?"

Oof, yeah that's rough. The last university teaching I did was as a grad student and it really had me questioning if that was something I wanted to continue with -- students who didn't understand why plagiarism was wrong, or who half-assed their work but thought if they complained they could get a better grade. It wasn't much fun (unlike previous teaching experiences), but it did make it easier when I had to move on (eventually I quit the PhD and got a job as an editor).
Good luck in your job applications/interviews!

Thank you! I have been upset at the reliance on metrics in the U.S. education system for a long time. I want to return to a time when we fostered a desire to learn in our children rather than presenting it as a chore... Hopefully, helping them at the library will be easier than it has been at the Bookstore...
Best of luck at the interviews, Rodalas!

Yeah, my ENG instructors here complain about that all the time... :(

each year the students get lazier and lazier and more enabled. My current school is attempting to move to a no 0's and no grades under a 50%. Everyone is accountable but the student.

Facepalm.
The company I work for gets excited every time they buy or design some new assessment tool, and I'm thinking doesn't the focus need to be a bit more on better teaching tools? Oh well.

I accepted the job at the charter school. Class size 3 to 18.

Education is a mess. More is asked of teachers and parents and students are not held accountable.

That's great!
A buddy of mine teaches at a charter school in LA and he loves it (the school anyway -- LA not so much!)
I have been at my present school for 7 years, it is time for a change and a raise!
My wife just got a job teaching in Texas. She was a teacher in Oregon for 12 years. When our child was born she switched to being a stay at home mom for 6 years. Then she decided that she would go back into teaching, so she became a substitute teacher to get her feet wet again. She went back to her old school, and worked one day. She was called every name in the book by her kids, and a kid step up on her like he was going to hit her (she just stepped right on to him and it confused him so much that he backed off). they gave her a radio and told her to call in when a kid/s walk out, which she had to do a lot. She said that she may be taught 10 minutes out of the whole day. This was a 5th grade class room. And she was told that most Substitute teaches for that room would leave and go home before lunch time. She lasted the whole day, but only did it for that day. She did some teaching at other school districts with much better days, but still many of the kids had very poor behaviors.
When we moved to Texas she again tried again as a substitute teacher. And it was night and day. Kids were all yes mam, no mam and wanted to learn (for the most part). So now for next fall she will be teaching full time, 3rd grade kids.
Teaching has become such a thankless profession. Parents and students are allowed to run schools and good teachers suffer.

I'm glad you all are finding good/better positions within the teaching fields. It is a thankless and tragically underpaid profession. And it's not going to get much better in the next few years (but maybe after that fingers crossed). We don't have any skin in the game, no kids, but I do wish things were different. Just, yikes. Also thank you for putting up with the hellions as well as the kids thirsty to learn.
Our firbolg is gone?
;(
Do we have healing capability?
lol
We'll soon find out!
I like it as much as any 5e book.
I fell last week and had to go to the Urgent Care early yesterday morning. Hairline fracture in big toe.
Ouch! They give you a boot for it?
ya, a shoe more than a boot
