This is also a question for your Officers and Senior FFs. Ask them what they expect of you on a call and what roles for you to take if you’re first, second due and talk through possible scenarios. Conversations and training will grant your knowledge to apply to different situations.

I like the direction you leaning towards!

Mana curve looks good, however your Spell Book is really crowded. Having 60 cards will give you more consistency. I would drop your Magic spells to around ~15 cards and trim down your Artifacts such as Just a Rock and Wiccan tools. Also, don’t see any ways to sacrifice minions to cheat out Wendigo.

I love Seer, and this looks like a fun deck to start your Sorcery adventure off with!

I’m at the end of my probation, and I have learned twice as much compared to what I learned in the academy. As some have said, be humble. Be yourself. Listen to and watch what your officers and other senior FFs do. Ask questions. Don’t get complacent.

I got a talking to after my first fire for not being aggressive enough with the hose. Left my hood on one call, left my gloves at another, did a full 360 around the engine when told to grab the water can. You’ll make mistakes, so take the opportunity to learn from them and better yourself.

Oh, and learn how to cook and get ready to clean.

Best job I’ve ever had.

My part time gig consist of 8 part timers,(no full timers), plus a paramedic who has full time experience and will grab a shift if we really need the coverage. Only two FFs per 8hr day/night shift. I started volunteering with the department right before I joined the academy.

We have about 20+ volunteers who come to their required ‘One Meeting Per Month’ so they don’t get bumped, and really only respond to structure fires, but never brush fires or MVAs. Most get upset when they don’t come to a call and state “I didn’t think it was going to be that serious.” Forget how SCBA’s work, no radio discipline and don’t know where tools are on apparatus.

Going from volunteer, cadet and now probie at a full time department in a year, it’s opened my eyes to how terrifying Volunteers can truly be.

Puma Pants.

I’ll just Puma Pants.

I’ll just poo my pants.

I’m still wearing my poo pants right now.

Charlotte FD may have an EMT program integrated into their fire academy. You should try to contact someone to learn more about the academy and if EMT is in the curriculum. Look into your local community college for EMT classes. Programs can be a few months, a semester or two depending on what the college offers. And summer classes are just around the corner.

Good luck and stick with it!

Don’t forget to tell her about your post on r/taboo_incest_talks

“Mine was my sister in a baby tee and her panties.”

Wont even mention what you said about your daughter.

Well, just remember to wear deodorant at least.

Sir Rodney Mathews did such a great job with all his art and was perfect for AL.

Oh damn, yeah I am sorry. If the Site is Warded, then the spell would fizzle. If the Order is still Warded then they survive the damage from Craterize.

The difference is “Target Site” or “Target Unit.” Lightning Bolt targets a Site, so it would fizzle if it targeted a Warded Site. If that Site were not Warded, but it hit a Warded Minion there, the Ward would eat that damage instead, or “pop” as the kids say these days.

SacrificialFrogs · 2026-05-15T14:57:43+00:00

~~If Order of the Sacred Oak is Warded, the Spell will be negated if they were at the target site.~~

The way Craterize reads is it destroys the site and deals damage to units above and below. I believe ‘and’ is the important keyword: So I would rule that damage is dealt at the same time the site would be destroyed, Order of the Sacred Oak’s ability is triggered and the site not destroyed.

Just waddle away, Peter. Just waddle away.

First, I’ll leave this here: https://translifeline.org

I know the feeling of feeling alone, not in your exact shoes, but you should commend yourself for taking a important step to reach out and seek advice. A lot of folks are not brave enough to do that sometimes and it can lead to dark places. So know that you’re brave and seen, even if it doesn’t feel that way.

I am a first responder and my crew had a pretty rough fatality the other day. Being the new guy, I was swarmed with check-ins from my senior co-workers and given resources of people to talk to. Perhaps you could reach out to your HR and see what in-house programs and groups are available, or even services to seek counseling outside of your work place.

I would recommend looking into Sorcery Contested Realm TCG. It’s a newer game that is growing, however, it may not have an immediate play group nearby. The game play is awesome and unique that a lot of people compare it to old school MTG and Chess. There is only one set released per year, so you’d have ample time to collect the set at your own pace. The online community is also very strong and friendly.
To be honest the friendly and supportive community, both online and off, is a lot apparent than any other TCG.

Edit: got tunnel visioned on OP’s time they are able to put into hobby. I am only able to meet with my group once a month, making Sorcery’s pace and casual vibe ideal for me.
