Meet My Boss

Comments

Educators are the unsung heroes of society. Personally, my HS teachers helped shape the direction of my life - what I chose to pursue as a career and how I learned.

aight, we'll need a video from her after her first game talking about the experience

Dear PDM: Thanks so much for sharing some insights into your personal life and your work as an educator. My wife taught middle school for many years, she had a terrible principle, so I can relate to you and your wife's situation. I got to hear often about what jag 'Mr. Hawks' was. A supportive staff can make all the difference to the performance of the teachers, the students, and the success of the school. Nancy seems very lovely and sounds like a good boss. I am pleased to hear that you work on such a high performing team. On a side note, I was thinking that in these messed up times, you are lucky Nancy knows who you are or you would be talking to Sgt. Tenkar down at the 35th precinct, explaining that you are not ideating or advocating for the murder of children and monstrous tailoring. :D God Bless you, teaching children and dealing with their thankless parents is God's work. Hoping you and yours had a wonderful holiday! MrGunn PS Does the tailor make the children put the lotion on, very curious?

Great video while I’m not a teacher my mother is and I work IT at a school so I can relate with many of the stories said. Can’t wait for the next video.

Is Nancy from Long Island? I've lived on the West Coast for decades, but miss the sounds (and tastes) of LI, where I grew up. Thanks for an insight into your real life.

I teach at the college level and to have a good boss is worth its weight in gold. Keep molding minds and recruiting D&D players.

It would be neat if you had a list of criteria for people who'd like to write content for your full version of Deathbringer when it comes out.

Hilarious! Imagine a video where SHE is actually playing! =)

My girlfriend once saw some notes for a MORK BORG game i was prepping... back when we first started dating. she was very confused and a little put off. can't blame her. it was brutal.

Hello PDM, thanks for posting this and showing us a bit more of your daily life. BTW, I've been meaning to congratulate you on finding a "second career" after your first retirement ;). I think that is excellent, and I am happy for you. It's always good to find a niche where your efforts are appreciated. With some luck I hope to do the same. Also, here's potential topic (OK, maybe it's a long shot). I was trying out ChatGPT3.5 as an aide for game support (it appears I'm too cheap to pay for version 4.0). I asked it to generate some names for Orcs, Elves, Goblins, etc. That actually worked pretty well, and who couldn't use a little help to make up some fun names on the fly. Then I asked it to make up some songs (there's a bard in my group) - that experience was not quite as good. And when I asked it to generate some insults that would be hurled by Orcs at my players it refused, gave a PC message about how the tool should not be used in that manner, and generated some VERY weak "insults", so that was interesting. I expect it could also be used to generate a lot of "yes, but" or "no, but" type responses to player actions in advance, lists of random monster reactions, etc... . Not sure what your thoughts are on this type of tool, and you may get some (or a ton of) negative responses since the AI would have been trained on material generated by others, there's certainly controversy to go around. But maybe any tool that brings more DM's and lower entry barriers is good for the RPG's. Anyway, it seems like a topic that's worth a video.
