Firstly, good - fuck that guy, he was a prick of a DM.
Secondly, D&D at home isn't a competitive sport, there's no money riding on rankings - if your players are not having fun and are getting frustrated you should absolutely help them out and/let them skip the puzzle etc.

The Discord for Paizo's ORC License is pretty much officially dead at this point, with occasional appearances by spam bots that get cleaned up intermitanently.

Hence why you end up with nonsense where kids who haven't even finished school are being pitched as 10x engineers by other kids who talk amost entirely in slogans and only finished their bachelor degree last year (and can't hold down a job).

Honestly baffling to me that sites claiming to be and presented as having serious educational value are putting this nonsense as a feature on their site.

Stephen Dinehart still hasn't released his absurd module for GiantLands, or promoted it since he had a meltdown at his right-wing supporters on Twitter.
