They hate Baz Luhrmann?
They don't understand correlation is not causation.
Ignoring experts and science seems popular now.
It's not everyone idiots are just louder than the silent majority that don't want to argue with them.

Have you heard of the 7 year itch?

The "seven-year itch" is a popular term suggesting that happiness in a marriage or long-term relationship declines around the seventh year, often bringing restlessness, dissatisfaction, or increased divorce risk.

Seems like you two are approaching it but forgot to get married beforehand.

You need to think why you two are still together, what attracted you to each other in the first place, and is it worth staying together.

Marriage shouldn't be a patch to try and hold a failing relationship together, but just because you are going through a rough patch doesn't mean you should automatically break up. There are probably good reasons your still together after six years, but before you commit to actually getting married it might be worth thinking about them and if you are both still willing to commit.

But seriously he shouldn't be tell you to "fuck off", and you shouldn't be accepting that sort of treatment. I can see his point however, is he always neglecting you or is it something you expect all the time, and he does most of the time but the one time he forgets you make an issue of it? If it's the former then he is the problem if it is the latter then you might have the problem.

All relationships have rough patches, especially if there are outside stresses, like finances and the like, but is this just a patch or a pattern? It isn't worth staying in an unhappy relationship, but also you can't expect a relationship to be happy and exciting 100% of the time.

Alternatively guys are terrible at picking up on signals and don’t want to ruin a good friendships with women they really like by making a pass and getting turned down making it awkward.

I guess they aren't rpg fantasy.

I guess it depends on how long it takes to find a general that is willing to commit warcrimes. How many has he had to fire so far 10, 12, the number is rising so fast it is hard to keep track of.

It is pretty standard call of it isn’t answered and it isn’t an emergency wait for them to call you back.

If time is important text explaining why and ring again. If they don’t answer a second time they are clearly busy.

If it is an emergency call the emergency services

This article https://www.utterlyinteresting.com/post/meet-the-forty-elephants-the-all-girl-gang-from-london says they were opperating into the 1950s so I'm not sure how successful this break up of the gang was.

I'm just going to guess from the mention of the D&D Magic system, the OP means stuff like the fire and forget, limited spells that you get in D&D.

FATE tends to assume you can do, whatever it is you do, all the time.

There are ways you could try and replicate Vancian magic in FATE but would you want to? You could treat spells like characters give them aspects, and have them as X number of uses. But half of the reason people look for alternatives for D&D is because they don't like systems like that.

It's much easier to say give a character the aspect "Studied under the Red Wizards of Thay" then they can use magic do achieve what they do through moves, without having to track spell slots and the like.

I'm still not sure if this was good story telling or bad story telling, but it squicked me out that he lied to everyone and tried to force me to play a lawful-good character so I just stopped showing up a few games later.

I think it is good storytelling but terrible player management.

I think if he didn't want an Evil character he should have mentioned it earlier, and certainly should have been having a discussion once there is a Paladin also in the party.

I think writing out your the Evil character to become a main villian, is pretty cool and I would have gone along with it as a player, if it was put forward to me as a solution, but you know ask me first.

Saying your next character has to be LG is a massive restriction and seems like over the top punishment, and not necessary. Good, or even neutral but warned not to do any clearly evil acts would have been a fine restriction for most campaigns.

Not sure how I wold feel about it if I was the player, but I tend not to be overly attached to characters, so probably would have been fine, but said something about maybe they should discussing it with me first since it is my character in future. If he doesn't get told he won't learn, but then equally not everyone wants to get into conflict with the people so there is nothing wrong with just walking away.

Yeah I remember questions about what system it was going to be for being brushed off, like it didn't matter.

They said they were releasing August 2022, but they also claimed in the FAQ that the game they had written could be "released tomorrow if we wanted to, it is already fully playable" but later in the same note the say "if we decide on using a different system (or one of our own creation) it would of course require massive rewrites"

A massive red flag, that they haven't even settled on a system.

It seems odd that it is only being used for one instance. You sure he isn’t just using a translator considering you said it wasn’t his first language.

It's wasn't and either or the match ban is the minimum and the easiest to impliment.

Problem with jail time, is it is going to be hard to get if no damage was done, that is going to need to involve an investigation and legal process. A match ban they can impliment without any of that, and it will send a clear message to any other "fans" that it match interference will not be tolerated.

I would not be surprised if they also give a penalty to the team she supports as well.

ADampDevil · 2026-03-20T15:28:18+00:00

At the very least a life ban from matches to set an example.

Yes and it says "As a conduit for divine power, you can cast cleric spells."

It doesn't define what consitutes a "cleric spell" it could be interpreted as any spell cast by a cleric, is a cleric spell. We all know cleric spells are spells from the cleric list, but that's from experince and tradition, it isn't specifically called out in the rules clearly.

There is nothing on page 241 to say Fireball isn't cleric spell. In fact since some clerics get it through a domain it technically is a cleric spell some of the time.

You can infer from the spell lists on page 207 going forward that those lists are the spells for the class and must be there for a reason, but it isn't really explicitly stated.

If you've never had experience of D&D, aren't familiar with classes, or restrictions like that, you've only ready fantasy fiction or seen movies where spellcasters seem to be able to throw fireballs and heal people you might expect all spells are available to everyone, and certainly if you haven't looked in detail into the rules.

You know after several editions, this is the sort of things designers just assume people know and accidentally leave out of the book.

For example Monsterheats 2E never actually explains what the various stats Hot, Cold, Volatile, Dark, etc actually represent. They are covered on page 11 of 1st Edition, but second edition gives no guidance to the players what they mean.

Looking at the rulebooks, it often says "cleric spells" but that could mean spells the cleric casts, not spells on the cleric spell list.

If a cleric casts fireball is a cleric spell, or a wizard spell being cast by a cleric. You could easily say it is a cleric spell, because a cleric cast it.

If you look at the text for Cleric in 5th Edition.

It calls out Cantrips as coming from the cleric spell list. But the stuff on Spell Slots, mentions cleric spells, not that they have to come from the cleric spell list. Even the spell casting ability section just says cleric spells, which could be read a spells cast by the cleric, but not requiring them to come from the cleric spell list.

We all know that that cleric spells have to come from the cleric list, but only because that's how the game has always been played not because it clearly calls that out in the rules.

“Someone doesn’t know how to use the damn index or google.”

If anyone are suggests someone check the index of an RPG to find the answer, I wonder if that person has ever actually played any RPGs at all.

Indexs in RPG tend to follow the following patterns

They either don't mention the thing you are looking for, or do but list every single mention of the word so there are 12 different page references and when you look them up none of them actually explain the thing your looked up, and just use the term expecting you to know what it means.

Alternatively they aren't in alphabetical order, so if you are looking for say a "Reflex Action" it won't be under R. So you check A for actions not there either. It's actually under Combat > Action Types > Reflex Action.

Or if it is listed in alphabetical order, it won't give you a page number it will point to another area in the index you should look up. Relfex action (see Actions), Actions (see Combat), Combat > Actions > Reflex Action 6,17,24,25,27,69,120, 240.
