  • So basically you want some kind of timer / escalation about some big bad evil thing. There are a few different ways you can do it. One you can do is have some kind of small script after every long rest about the breaking the seals or something similar so that the players can understand each rest means something. This can increase your doom (which you can track hidden) this can change how the world intereacts or can do nothing but bring tension narratively.

    Another way to do this count down that feels more dnd is by decreasing dice as the doom get closer after each long rest. After each rest roll a 1d10 and on a 1 somethign bad happens. As their doom increases this dice goes down now to a 1d8 so the bad thing is more likely to happen. You can and should make a big deal about rolling this doom dice after each rest. Gives it a little random element and really drives player tension. That way you don’t have to track a percentage but still does that tension



  • My wife just started her own LLC as a psychotherapist as well. She gets paid mostly what insurance reimpurses so that part is kind of static. However, she does a few other things that aren’t paid through insurance and has some been working on getting her pricing right. What I would say to you is that you start charging more and set up a sliding scale based on need. Increase your prices but include language about if there is a financial need this can be altered. She has done it for a few group events and had only a few people ask about it. She then alters their cost based on their need and she even let a few people attend for free. It allows you to raise prices for those who can afford it and still increasing access to those who might need it.

    The thing to remember here is that you do your job better when you are less stressed. Overworking and being underpaid means that you are helping fewer people or not as effective helping the people you are seeing. Ethically you need to take care of yourself to help your clients. Its the same logic as self-care. If you aren’t there to support you can’t support.
