Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[trappedslider]

So I wasn't even close to the title of the book I was thinking of @Scribe @overgeeked

The only thing I had right about it was the "Re" part of the title

Every Library Science major I've ever met has been kind of a quiet badass, so ...

My daughter a young teen is dead set on becoming a librarian. Like damn sure and not talking her out of it.

She is formidable like her mom who also “almost” went into they field.

Well they're clearly already too busy swinging swords and recovering magical artifacts, to bother with computer stuff.

Or creating 3rd Edition D&D news sites that really take off...

If I may, the field is oversaturated with library school grads and what few positions are occasionally available have a lot of competition. I’d suggest she get work in a library as soon as possible. Volunteer early and often. Making contacts. The more she’s already in the library before she gets the degree, the more likely she will be to find a job. In my class of 30+, only 5-6 found work in the field. And they all networked like hell and had years of directly-related experience before going to library school. Researching, getting published, giving talks and presentations also help.

I can always create something new if the community changes, but what I see I have no desire to be a part of and I dont take breaks well.

Well that is too bad. It is helpful to have reasonable contributors or else we are left with a curated sample that is less than the whole.

I am coping with the new world order with cheap domestic beer and plastic monsters and occasionally taking it in doses. Find some fun, ignore here or there, unfollow threads here or there and focus on better nuggets.

And mutual interests. I too wish bards would accidentally walk into the lair of a Behir after forgetting they set down their lyre when they had to urgently take a dump in the woods.

Ugh! She is walking around with a “read banned books” book bag! Yeah we will have to do our due dilligence in guiding her and looking for volunteer opportunities. I did not know that.

I'm keeping some details vague to keep this from being a spoiler for an adventure.

Someone who transforms themselves into a giant monster and murders anyone that gets close to their secret lair is a villain, even if they're not doing it because they're sadistic or out for personal gain.

"Me and my friends need our personal space" is not a reasonable justification for mass-murder.

I don't care how tragic the NPC's backstory is, the most they can hope for is the PCs dealing nonlethal damage and dragging them back to face justice for their crimes in a fair trial if they refuse to surrender peacefully.

I don't know if its still this way, but it wasn't much better at pre-professional positions back in my day. I was trained as a library technician, and had a hell of a time finding full time permanent positions (of course it could well have been that there were more people with MLSs even then, and they were effectively taking positions below their training, with the displacement rippling downward).

There was a scenario I designed for 5E for Thanksgiving. It was about a Dire Turkey of Legend, sure, but I also statted up a few early settlers as 5E characters. One of the Pilgrim ladies was a College of Whispers Bard, I had a Hunter Ranger, etc.
