I can’t be the only one thinking of a lot of Reddit’s mods as Jimmy Wichard from King of the Hill, can I?

Glad to hear it, best of luck.

Aargh, twice as bad that way, what a shitty bunch of jerks. Not quite a crab bucket, I can’t quite remember the idiom to suit this scenario, but easy to say that they should have known better than anyone. Let them sleep with the enemy and sow their own oats in spoiled dirt, there are other gaming groups out there.

My pleasure, it’s always my hope that people can find a friendly table to game.

Aah, the Deep South makes for a whole different kind of animal where these problems are concerned. The best that I can think of it to network with groups operating IRL out of your nearest large city’s gay neighbourhood - odds are better to find parties better aligned to your SO’s situation, and much, much less tolerant of the kind of abuse which can be expected in the sticks/country outside of urban centers. If the pair of you aren’t urban, there may be a way to connect with players & DMs in the same time zone, if not close enough to play around the table.

I’m sure they appreciate your support, thanks for being a good egg.

Characters are typically created after joining a group, as opposed to beforehand. There are uncommon cases where a DM will incorporate a leveled character from another group into their own campaign, but I’ve yet to hear of this from anyone that I know personally - just that it’s happened in the past. You may want to recommend that they hold off on character creation, especially production of core stats, until they’re found a new DM.

Tell them to make inquiries to the D&D AL (Dungeons & Dragons Adventurer’s League), formerly known as the RPGA (Role Playing Gamer’s Association - they may have seen mention of it in promotional materials found alongside D&D 3rd Ed. manuals and other products like Dungeon Magazine, or Dragon Magazine before they stopped publication).

This is assuming that you mean D&D campaigns run online (VOIP, Discord, and/or Foundry), and not the D&D Online MMORPG, of course. Barring that, and taking your unknown geographical location into account, they may also be able to find organized/advertised gaming groups by making the rounds of all of your nearest brick and mortar gaming/comic shops. They’re well known as consistent sources for tournament organization for things like Warhammer and Magic: The Gathering as official retailers of said products alongside the D&D content released by Wizards of the Coast.

Tell them that I said good luck as well.

User’s data was breached, I laughed because I’m not one of them. This isn’t a doctoral dissertation, I don’t care how it works.

I mean, if it’s not Musk, that unfuckable edgelord basement-dweller was running a pretty ace digital cosplay…

Sure, but lying during a process involving security clearance would essentially hang over their head the entire time that they used the credential as a means to get work. It’s not like lying about whether or not you like the food that someone served at a dinner, it sticks.

If you say so, I’ll take your word for it.

I’ve been told that for clearance above reliability that social media use becomes an issue. 4chan was specifically cited to me by the person with whom I spoke. I’d assume that this means any/all alphabet government agencies, but Army was all that I heard about specifically.

“Do you browse or use 4chan?”

“No.”

“OK, good, because you weren’t advancing beyond this stage if you said yes.”

Heard about this just a few hours ago, and have been laughing ever since. This is going to be brutal, there are people who registered with .gov e-mail addresses. As the use of 4chan has been cited to me as potentially disqualifying people seeking security clearance for government, police, or military careers, this hack single-handedly has the potential to torpedo thousands of edgy bois in one fell swoop.

The people responsible for this imbecile sloughing off of responsibility need to be held to account. The stakes are too high to permit them to claim that “the brain warden got it wrong, but it’s out of our hands”, these are the types of situations that warrant standing directly in front of someone and forcing them justify the damage they’ve caused, and explain how they’re going to rectify their fuck up and compensate the affected parties. What I’m hearing is alarmingly similar to news about current problems with medical insurance and the labour market.
