@c_hackett I totally understand your position. If it wasn't for my wife having gotten a job offer semi close to home before I finished at FSU, and then them needing a last minute position in History and asking her if I would be interested, I would have stayed in industry just for family

@friede @LauraBaileyVO Our table would not exist without CR. We have an 8 person table (including myself and another as gms). Myself and the other gm both began wanting to play because of watching CR and other APs. I would love to discuss it further if it is helpful to your research.

@BraedenFRev Agreed! I'm up for my first promotion this coming semester, and it is horrifying to approach, even with encouragement from fellow faculty

@Steventstone I thought you were joking about #2....but dang. Straight outta TikTok

As a history instructor married to a Math professor, when I walk in her class and hear the discussion with students, I can envision how people used to believe in magic. My brain is so far removed from in-depth Mathematics. #AcademicTwitter

@friede Subscribed and ready to read. Having recently arrived on this scene for entertainment, I'm super intrigued with the academic/analytical side

@saragoldrickrab Honestly, I had a teaching assistant give me a few guest lectures and tips when I was finished. Otherwise, it was mostly from noting how others taught and adapted the styles that I enjoyed and learned best from

@jakegbennett To me, it looks like happiness and a little intuition

[Riley Parker @williampar2012]

@HN2DM Yes. I'm 1st time dming as well. I had a limited experience with DnD, and they asked me to run a one-shot, which turned into a long-form campaign.

@jakegbennett I'm hoping thats not the case, but I have the same exact fear

I know an undergrad in NYC looking to get her foot in the door/build her historical research skills. She's looking outside of her institution. Please let me know if you know of someone looking to hire a research assistant or a cool internship I should tell her about!

[Riley Parker @williampar2012]

@ceaubin Had the exact same moment with the entire table I run now. They asked at a child's birthday party if I would run a table. They are all now completely indoctrinated (in the best way possible).

@CGtypeswords I recognize that place!

@CGtypeswords I mean, I answered veggies, but I pictured sushi with the raw meat option to be honest

Does anyone want to put together a panel on women in Old Regime France? Can look at power, agency, employment, inheritance...the sky is the limit, and I have several ideas for a paper I'd like to write.
