# **The DM’s Toolbox — A Free Browser-Based Toolkit for DMs (Now Feature-Complete)** Hey everyone — I’ve been building a browser-based toolset for my home group, and over the last few months it’s grown into a full suite of DM utilities. It’s now feature-complete, stable, and fully documented, so I’m sharing it with the community. I've attached some screenshots for reference. **Link is in my Reddit profile** (Reddit filters links in posts). --- ## **What It Is** A *completely free*, no-login, offline-capable set of tools designed to help DMs run smoother sessions without paywalls or subscriptions. Everything runs 100% in the browser. Nothing is uploaded. Nothing is tr...

Hello Everyone, I'm looking for some wear os testers to get my first app published to the app store. It's pretty straight forward. Thanks in advance. I'm also open to feedback ideas for improvement.

Hello everyone. I'm extremely stressed and clueless as to this issue with my 2015 CX-5. In December on a road trip I lost traction in the snow while turning in a round about and collided with the curb on the front right. First a shop looked and said I just needed a realignment. However it was making strange noises and I suspected more. I had a mechanic in the area look at things after and he discovered the rack and pinion was bent and replaced it with a reman from autozone. Prior to the replacement all systems worked fine. However after I picked it up and drove a short ways to a store up several faults appeared on the dash after startup. The AFS off light is flashing, and the SCBS sys...

A plumber came to fix a leaking tub spout this Friday afternoon. He did not have the parts that were needed (a tub spout, and pressure-balance valve) and had to go to the hardware store Since he was going to the hardware store, I asked if he could pick up a shower nozzle to install and gave him the model number. Throughout the job, I discussed in detail with him what his costs would be, and if there were any other costs. Before he went to the hardware store, I confirmed that he would just be charging his hourly rate to go there. It was a detailed discussion, and he did not mention any other costs. He called me from the hardware store because he could not find the shower nozzle I r...

Let me preface that I am a total newbie with Proxmox, have not used LVM's. I've played around with Proxmox for a couple weeks and got stuff running OK. I have a mini-PC running HomeAssistant stand alone. I really don't want to disrupt that for too long a period of time as HA has the AdBlockHome running. I want to re-do that with Proxmox, adding a network monitor and a media server, so I would eventually have a config with 3 containers/VMs. Any comments on either method or an alternative that I can try? Idea #1 What I'd like to do is set up Proxmox and the containter/VM's on another machine and then pick up the whole thing with Clonezilla doing whole physical D...

Hi Reddit! I was hoping you guys could help with this - my cat Bartholomew loves this wand toy and has chewed it to oblivion. I want to buy him a few new ones but I have no clue where to get it - it came with him from his breeder the pink spring isn't part of it thank you in advance!

AI now uploads my social posts for me. Curious how many hours you could save each week? I’ve wired an n8n agent that takes content from Google Drive, finds the right file, adds the caption, and posts to LinkedIn, X, Facebook, and Instagram while I do…nothing. Here’s the core idea: ↳ You create content once (with an AI content agent) ↳ It gets saved into a structured Google Drive folder ↳ A posting agent grabs the correct file + caption ↳ n8n pushes it out to your social accounts ↳ You just see the post live on your profile Result: this setup easily saves me 3–5 hours every week in boring upload work. There are three main ways to handle the actual uploading part: ↳ N...

In January 2026, Autodesk announced it would cut roughly 7 percent of its global workforce, about 1,000 people, as part of what it calls the “final phase” of a restructuring tied to its cloud and AI strategy. Autodesk framed the layoffs as a way to “increase customer satisfaction going forward,” while reallocating resources toward AI, platform, and cloud i...

We bought our home last year. A new roof was part of the deal, and we're worried the roofers just put shingles over the hot air vent for our gas powered heating unit in the first floor attic. There's a small gap to the outside as you can see daylight from the side and feel some cold air movement, but it's mostly covered. Well, I went up there just now and looked around while the heat was on because we're getting cold weather and I wanted to see if everything is working properly or looks off. I noticed burned wood around the vent. My meat thermometer read 275 F at the vent entrance where vent meets wood. There used to be a lot of flashing and foil tape that blocked view...

Hey all, My partner and I are planning a move to Christchurch this year. We’re both in our 30s, no kids, and we’re looking to rent for around 2–3 years before buying a place. A bit about what we’re after: • Weekly budget around $550 • Ideally within 15 minutes of the beach (partner loves surfing) • 25 minutes max to the CBD • We’d love a little garden to grow some veggies • Prefer a chilled, outdoorsy vibe with a friendly community • Somewhere a bit quieter / not too busy We’re trying to get a feel for which suburbs fit the bill — and which ones to maybe steer clear of. Which suburbs would you recommend based on the above? Which areas would you avoid (and w...

I should preface by saying that I am playing the Final Fantasy 1 Pixel Remaster, so this review is not reflective of the original experience, however I'm assuming its more or less the same just without the QoL. Also, this is my first time writing a review for anything, so expect some sloppiness. And apologies if this runs too long. Played with this mod: [https://www.nexusmods.com/finalfantasy6pixelremaster/mods/122](https://www.nexusmods.com/finalfantasy6pixelremaster/mods/122) I used this mod to reduce the movement speed from 1.0 to 0.75 (original speed). I removed the minimap as it felt intrusive. Removed diagonal movement to stop stuttering. I'm splitting this into three part...

I’m an international student who completed my master’s in Dec 2025 and am currently applying for jobs, but I haven’t had much success yet. I’m starting to think about PhD programs as an alternative, partly because of visa uncertainty. I’d love to hear from people who’ve gone through this: • How does the transition from OPT to a PhD program typically work? • Is staying on F-1 via a PhD a common or advisable path? • Any downsides from an immigration or long-term career perspective? Thanks in advance. :)

Me and my friends are going to Japan in a week and I was reading on reddit and other forums that you should get Universal Express Passes because of the 150min> wait times for certain rides. So I decided to go to universal's website and buy the Express Pass 4 for the Race and Thrills part of the park. However, for some reason the website only lets you buy 4 tickets at a time and there are 5 of us going. So I decided to buy the first 4 at one timeslot but accidentally bought the 5th one in a timeslot that is half an hour earlier to the one that the other 4 are in. These tickets can't be refunded or sold. Not sure what my options are 😭, should I buy another ticket for ...

Background: I'm a software engineer exploring business ideas. Been doing research on sari-sari store management for 2 weeks now. 20+ interviews/surveys. **The Data:** \- 1.3M sari-sari stores nationwide \- ₱8B yearly sales through the channel \- 87% use manual methods (notebooks) **On paper:** Huge opportunity. **In reality:** Not so clear. **Findings:** \- 57% say "Yes, I'd use an app" \- But only 11% actually use existing apps (Peddlr, Growsari, etc.) **The Gap:** Not a feature problem. Trust problem. **Comments like:** \- "Pano pag internet mawala?" \- "Sino magtuturo sa lola ko?" \- "Baka mas mahal pa monthly kaysa ...

**Part Six: She Meant What She Said (Parts 1-5 linked at the bottom)** I am unwell. After finally making it back to the house, I sat down in the kitchen, grateful to be surrounded by piles of trash. My mind was somewhere else, spinning out of control. My poor body was a clock, ticking and unable to stop turning. My fingers thrummed over the kitchen counter as I stared out the window. I can’t tell you how thankful I was to see sunlight. I sat in that kitchen, unmoving for hours. I didn’t get up to use the bathroom. I didn’t get up to eat even though my stomach was screaming at me. I didn’t move; I just stared. *How would I explain the truth to my poor dad?* I finally took off my bac...

I am running a homebrew campaign that takes a little bit of inspiration from Caves of Qud (iykyk). Basically, players are able to get implants and mutations, as the title alludes. For a quick rundown of the rules, the implants are limited to specific body parts, and have an energy associated with them that, cumulatively, cannot go higher than the users wisdom or intelligence score (one is chosen and it stays as that, a player can’t swap between the two). Implants are pretty much straight benefits, granting stuff like an eye that you can shoot lasers from or a back attachment that can deploy a small bubble shield or a brain implant that lets you store extra spells on it. Generally these ar...
