This is a vent post:

I get why apartments and such have application fees and all that, someone has to go through them all and run checks, but seriously they used to be $25-$50 just a few years ago. Now they are $50-$100. JUST TO APPLY.

That’s not even all the extra fees either.

At the Bard College of the Culinarian, they believe that art can be expressed through more than just sight or sound. When a Culinarian Bard cooks, bakes, broils or grills, they are creating a performance that will leave a lasting impact through all of the senses. The sound of sizzling, the sight of good food, the scent of a perfect roast, and the taste and touch of a once-in-a-lifetime meal. Flavor of Inspiration Level 3 College of the Culinarian Feature During a Short or Long Rest, you can use Cook’s Utensils to create a snackling, a tiny Construct made of food and imbued with life through your magic. The snackling functions as a familiar as if created through the Find Familiar spell. You can also expend a use of your Bardic Inspiration to cast the Find Familiar spell and summon a snackling. You can use a Bonus Action to assign a snackling to an ally. The snackling moves along with the ally on their turn. While the snackling is assigned to an ally they gain the bonus from its Flavor of Inspiration trait. A creature only benefits from the Flavor of Inspiration if the snackling is assigned to them, and a creature can only be assigned one snackling at a time.

The Oath of Protection calls to Paladins who wish to protect the meek and innocent from the dangers of the world. It is their aim to be a stalwart defender of their companions, and those who cannot defend themselves. These Paladins see themselves as shields before swords, they wield temperance and empathy instead of retribution and divine fury.

When an ally within 30 feet of you is targeted by an attack roll, you can use your Reaction to summon a bulwark of light that redirects the attack towards you.

As I'm working on the Cartographer's Deck between writing sessions, I'm releasing the matching maps to my patrons as soon as they're done! I've already got several available and more on the way.
A colored pencil drawing of a winding river and the surrounding area. A town and docks are along the river bed where it opens wide then narrows again as it flows off page. Farms and roads are visible as well. A map drawn in pencil and watercolor of a crossroads. Five roads intersect through grassy meadows. A small stream flows along the top of the map with a section covered with a bridge leading down one of the roads. A stone fence runs along the bottom, left-hand corner of the map with a small garden gate. The right-most road leading off the map has cliffs on both sides of it. A patch of grass in the center of the paths has a sign with text we cannot read. A colored pencil drawing of a fantasy garden and stone walkway. It features a pond with waterfall, a gazebo with an intricately designed roof, and trellis covered stairs leading deeper into the garden. A colored pencil map of a region with five large fissures opening into the ground surrounded by dead trees that flow into a ring of yellowed trees that fade into green.

This tip is a long one, but I think it's an important one for Dungeon Masters\Storytellers to learn and it's not always easy to know if the time is right.

Sometimes the right choice is to LET the PCs destroy everything you prepped or get out of it easy because they were clever.
