I kind of bent over backwards to give them access to someone who could cast raise dead despite them being in a relatively remote and inhospitable area.
Well, they were on the river between Kyonin and Razmiran. They decided to try their luck with the elves rather than the fake priests. But Kyonin does not take kindly to uninvited visitors.

The 3-D block pattern is a rousing success, especially since if you look at it from one angle it looks like a Q-Bert level, but if you look at it from a different angle it looks like a bunch of stars.
Unfortunately you can't see the Space Invader unless you use a different color of paver for it (but don't worry, they're there, right down the middle).

So far everyone who dies in my Jade Regent game has been reincarnated, with various hilarious results.

This happened in my Kingmaker campaign as well. To the point that the entire party looked completely different between the start and end of chapter two.
Hargulka responded to the party invading his lair by shouting, "Who ARE all you people?!" before eventually identifying the magus by recognizing his black blade.

I really like this. That must have been confusing for the bad guy.

My lair was under attack by these bizarre creatures I'd never seen before! How the jotun was I supposed to know my enemies had all changed skins?!

Add some raisins and you have my 3 all time least favorite food items.
Coleslaw cookies, mm yum yum.
This will have appeared in an Aspirational '70s cookbook, along with Spam chunks in Jell-O and candied meatloaf.
So you have been to the Midwest!
Otherwise how would you know what's in a local church cookbook.. although you didn't mention anything about a lutefisk and macaroni noodle casserole..

"Confusing for the bad guy" basically sums up our entire foreign policy for the campaign. "You can't counterintelligence what we didn't intelligence to begin with!"

So... wooooow...
Today is the first day of Impus Minor's all-online semester.
As of 8:00 pm last night, one of his teachers emailed him that cameras will be mandatory for his class. Since we don't have one, this is problematic.
At of 7:00 am this morning, he'd only received emails with Zoom links for 4 of his 8 classes today. He went to his student portal and found 3 more, but he still doesn't have a link for his mandatory first period training that starts in 2 hours.
I've been in education for 28 years now (teaching college for 8, training corporate customers for 20). If I tried to pull the s*** the school is pulling I'd be fired with cause.
"No; it's not *MY* job to communicate with my students! I gave them half a dozen portals to check. They need to go to all of them and find the information for themselves."
Yeah, er... no.

this has shown the level of discomfort many have with technology. Left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.

Well, it just got worse. Last week I got an email to access the "one-stop shop" that lists all of the possible sites that teachers might use. So I got it all set up.
This morning I found out that Impus Minor never got that notice.
So they're not even notifying him of the critical tools he needs to actually do his work.
Sending email isn't hard. Failing to send email is appalling.

Distance working tech like Zoom has existed for two decades now, and been ubiquitous for one. Aren't comfortable with technology? That's like being uncomfortable with a telephone at this point. B!*@#~!& excuse for lazy people. You know how you learn tech? Take time to use it, and ask questions. Just like with anything else.

its not the usage, it's the expectations regarding it. I have gotten into numerous arguments with my boss regarding people simply answering the phone(guess what! They don't HAVE to), and even more regarding Zoom calls, how they work, what they mean for privacy agreements, and just how many people will join the call. Age plays a role too.

Yeah, this is what I'm dealing with:
To attend today's mandatory tech training meeting students needed the Zoom link. We spent 45 minutes this morning searching for it. It wasn't posted anywhere. It wasn't emailed out.
It turns out that last week the principal sent out an email entitled, "First week of school", and in that email was an attached PDF with the first weeks' schedule. If you downloaded that PDF, then embedded in the PDF was the required Zoom link.
And that was the *only* way to find it.
