Hello, my bookstore is launching a line of candles and I’d like to hire someone to do a series of labels in the style of medieval heraldry.

Budget: My initial budget is $400, and I’d like to see how far that could get me, with my target being 8-12 labels total hopefully, but I certainly don’t mind negotiating a higher price for each label if we are happy with the results.

Size: Labels will be 4x2.5 inches, though it would be preferable to do a higher resolution than necessary so they can be used for larger candle sizes in the future.

Hello, me and my friends are going to throw in to get our friend something nice. He has a ton of interests and hobbies. He does is a photographer for adventure weddings, has a band, travels a lot, and is in nursing school. He also has expressed interest in learning to build guitars.

I was thinking of either a gopro (don't know if he has one) or some kind of beginner's luthier kit. Any help would be amazing!

Hello all! Every 6 months or so I'm making a donation of books, stationary, and games to an inpatient facility of mostly young women on behalf of a friend that has undergone treatment there. The facility does great work and literally saved her life. So it's both a Christmas present for her, and for the clients.

I own a bookstore that also stocks some board games, so this a perfect way of donating for me. Any games I don't have in stock I'll go buy from a local board game shop. I do have a small board game collection, but not extensive knowledge on what's out there. I'd love any suggestions y'all have.

​

To narrow it down:

**The facility has common areas, and there is plenty of

I've been saving up for months to get something for my brother and his girlfriend. They're moving away so I want to get them something nice.

He really likes playing first person shooters on his ps4, and she enjoys watching him play or taking turns. However they kept mentioning that they want to get more games that they can play together.

Is it better to get a wii-u and a bunch of cheaper games? I already have a bunch of wii u games from before my wii u broke that I can add to the pile.

The switch has a limited library of games, but it's a lot cooler of a gift I think.

I own a bookstore that previously only did secondhand books. It was failing and came cheap when I bought it.

Since then, I have increased revenues by 66%. The average purchase went from $10 to $30.

Besides major renovations, re-branding, and extensive curation, I've been buying much needed inventory and introducing new product lines. I'm buying more inventory each month as well as periodically restocking.

I'm clueless how to really account for it. Hypothetically, If I bought $1,000 worth of of inventory and sold it all for $1,500, how much did I actually make? 500? or 1500?

Especially when we look at the long term, I might have spent $10,000 in January, and over the next 3 months made $1

Hello everyone,

Pride month is here, my bookstore has recovered largely from the slow-down and a month of complete shut-down, so now I'm capable of stocking new titles.

​

I'm aiming to fully stock my front display, which is the first thing customers see as they walk in. On Friday, I used that display to put out every book I had on anti-racism and civil rights. It's Sunday and I'm completely sold out, and every time I look on my wholesaler's website, the books I want to stock are amassing thousands of back-orders.

​

Anyway, I already have a separate display for LGBT authors and poets, everything from Oscar Wilde, to James Baldwin, Alice Walker, Walt Whitman, David

Full story is that I am newly a bookstore owner, and my employee and close friend is a major advocate and former patient of a certain inpatient facility, and as a college graduation gift I'd like to make a book donation on her behalf. I have already spoken to the staff and the foundation and they are happy to accept books.

I'm neither of us are rockefellers and being shut down because of covid hasn't helped, but I did scrape up a little money to buy one or two dozen nice books. I just need help picking out books, I don't have much time to read and I second guess most of my recommendations.

To help narrow it down:

**The care facility almost entirely young women, ages 16 through early 30s.

Relevant Details: Female author. The story is about a female school teacher that teaches children of NATO/US military personnel while they are stationed near the borders of the soviet union/eastern bloc.

In one portion of the book, the teacher dates a german fellow who asks a few pointed questions about the higher-ups on the base, leading some character(s) to suspect he is a east german spy.

The book cover apparently is black and white, with watchtowers along the left side.

I'm trying to find a novel that a client described. I wouldn't normally go through the trouble, but he's a very kind old man and wanted a book to read while he recovers from surgery. He

I'm working on a proposal for a housing initiative that rents out low-income houses in eco-villages that the non-profit owns. The intent is leasing low-income housing for a few years while the tenant saves up for a house in the private market. The most of the houses will be 1bed/1bath.

​

The question is: can the non-profit be extra-choosey in who it accepts as tenants? The non-profit does not intend on discriminating for any prejudiced reason, ie on the basis on race, sex, sexual identity, disability. But would it be able to discriminate based on age, if they wanted it to be a "help millennials find housing" charity? Or would it be able to say that at least some of these houses

In my opinion, racial ability scores help only to create stereotypical characters, rather than unique or interesting ones. It's hard to encourage a player to go with their favorite character concept, while simultaneously and arbitrary punishing them with inferior stats compared to other options.

For example, take the humble gnome warlock; while it could be a great role-play opportunity, the poor thing is most likely going to be stuck at a +2 charisma modifier at level 1, which is completely inferior to a Tiefling or Half-Elf sorcerer who will most likely get to +4 charisma at level 4. And that's just charisma!

Telling players to "screw the racial scores! play what you want", and then m

Hello, I'm Brian and I'm the DM. My group has been playing for roughly 4 months now, and while it's been a blast each and every time, we are looking for more players to fill out the group. I have a house and a big table on the west side of Colorado Springs.

​

We are very beginner friendly, and it will be easy enough to integrate new players into our ongoing campaign.

Hi, we are Brian (26), Rachel, and Kelsey. We have a house in the west side of Colorado Springs where we play DnD 5e. We also have two other friends that drop in from time to time, but never consistently. We would like to play more often, so we are seeking new friends to play with. We have a DM, but are definitely not opposed if you'd want to join as the DM yourself. Beginners welcome.

We are all usually home after 6pm every day, so any day of the week is fine by us.

Brian: I'm a beginner DM, and I only have run a handful of sessions. My job gives me a lot of flexibility in hours so I'm fortunate enough that I can try to make DnD my hobby, and I am devoting a lot of time to learning the

Hello, Brian(24) and Rachel(23) here!

We are two beginners looking to play Pathfinder or DnD in the greater Denver area, and our hours and days are very flexible. We have both 5e and pathfinder rulebooks and have been studying them both. I also have a house in Arvada if that's the most convenient option for the group. Thanks!
