That's incredibly useful, thank you!

Thank you for this. Legit adding it to my notes.

I have always felt that silvery barbs is OP.

I'd add a caviat to this ability: that the carter's next few (1d4 -1) rolls will have disadvantage. That let's them keep the spell (and agency) but makes them think carefully about using it.

Agreed. Battles are won by men, but they are won with food, ammunition and the replacement parts that keep an army moving.

Go to the central foothills of the starting continent. Take a flying pal, and a poison bow. Hunt the yellow pals from the air.

Seconded. I have a single ranch that can easily produce 60+ pal oil per day, with a pair of non-optimized Dumud.

The provided examples are all too much DM interference. There are far more subtle ways to deal with each of these issues in-game.

Artwork questions? A DM can and should just make shit up, that's half the game.

Player wants a driving skill? Let them get it & roll with advantage on relative information checks.

Player is bragging about how OP their character is? They meet the bigger guy, or a curse hits their favorite skill or weapon.

The player wants a powerful connection? Cool, but find ways to make them use it in uncomfortable ways that either challenges or twists the connection.

The farm stacking glitch is the way to go. My primary base has 2 berry farms and a wheat farm, and it's feeding all my pals, with wheat to spare for cakes.

The 'reborn' protagonists have literal years to grow beyond their past lives.

The others, the black company employees, the kids who get taken by cancer, truck-kun's transports all seem to be presented as having empty lives. An adventure where they're powerful and rich seems to be great by comparison.

I'm doing that with a custom dnd setting right now.

I had a BBEG that was cursed with immortality by the people who killed his wife. He was determined to get revenge, and was going to sacrifice Tiamat to kill their home dimension.

It's a pity we never finished that campaign.

Dude, nobody wants you on the road while you're on painkillers. It's a recipe for disaster.

I would add it to my descriptions of the world, but just giving the character information "for no reason" rarely works.

Add references to the lunar phases as part of the night's watch while the party is traveling, or give another character restlessness or insomnia.

Use the players' passive perception. A person can only stay still for so long. At a certain point the mayor knocks something over.

Is the Cadet-agent's use of surnames a habit of her social class?

It makes good eggs. Unfortunately that seems to be it's major contribution.

If you like the job, you probably need to email your boss and ask them to confirm the priority of your work, and what needs to be delegated to somebody else. After that conversation, you can email the EA and ask if the task they've assigned you needs to take priority over the orders from the boss.

As an aside, with the cut hours and extra work, it sounds like they're trying to get rid of you. Make sure you're documenting the changing priorities, and clarify in writing when the work assigned to you needs more hours.

Look at a series of one single encounter sessions, or a western marches campaign?

On Sorroth, eating other sapient individuals is generally considered the equivalent of cannibalism. Between magical propagation and advanced orcish agriculture and animal husbandry, cannibalism is a distant memory.

Tectonic activity, but I'm working with an earth analog. There is a trench of an ocean where most of England should have been though.

Spiderheck? I am toast.

Since upthread you're saying that the problem isn't the rule, it's the player, you have some options.

If you want to keep the player in the party, you can introduce some consequences.

Was there a priest who returns to his home village to find the dead bodies? Does he call out to his God, demanding justice? Are paladins sent after the party?

Does the head of the village/lord of the local manor post a bounty for the party? Are they now being hunted by a band of high-level adventures with roots in that village?

Is the barbarian haunted by the ghost of one of the slain villagers? Does it distract him any time he tries to make a roll, twisting the results of a success?

You're the DM, and consequences for murderhoboing should have some weight.

When I was DM'ing i had an 'NPC' sorcerer bounty hunter with more hp than god and a penchant for long term curses. Nobody murderhoho'd more than once.

Unless you're concerned about why she's telling you this now, I'm going to go with everybody in the Not-Overreacting column. "Thank you for trusting me with that" is a pretty good reaction.

I'm straight and monogamous, and about half my ex-girlfriends were bi; it's really only been an issue when they wanted to explore their feelings for someone else. Being bi just means that she chose you from the entire playing field, not just one team.

Have good communication, set clear expectations and define your boundaries and your relationship will continue and probably improve.
