I'VE ACTUALLY GOT THIS! Falling Petals absolutely is a 'married life' romance. I mean, it's a 'married unlife', and they've only been together for like 20 years in a world where women can't just up and marry other women, so they're not technically married... BUT IT IS EFFECTIVELY MARRIAGE...

That is not a bad thing ^___^ A 'dull' life is a life with security. People who live exciting lives are usually absent that... which puts them in the kinds of situations where crazy stuff happens around them, which keeps things from calming down, which repeats in this pattern until someone has a...

Fictional polyamorous yuri trio that all love each other? WONDERFUL. I've been imagining being part of that since I was like,10, and rewinding Beauty and The Beast to play over that tale as old as time or whatever song they have on the ending credits, and marching up and down my bedroom doing...

Oooh nonononono. Dangerous move, polyamory. Way worse than an affair, where clear lines are drawn. Polyamory on an already shaky relationship doesn't spice things up: it shatters the shaky relationship, and either one set pairs off... or everyone just walks away from it hurt. My marriage...

Morally speaking, or....? I mean, it's already a situation where not everybody will be happy. Either the husband to be likes the wife to be and will be crushed by her wanting to end their relationship, or he doesn't like his wife to be and can go ahead and freely say 'good riddance' in which...

Well, that's what 'affairs' are for.

Firstly, that such a situation is alarmingly specific :sweat_smile::sweating_profusely: If the options for leaving are 'live off welfare and hope for the best': well, that sounds like an unlikely environment for one to 'find love' in, which if she's concerned about marrying someone she doesn't...

Historically speaking, syphilis was apparently considered to be enough of a problem that it's still specifically cited as having potentially stopping power to an immigration through a K1 Fiance visa (means their intended marriage destination is in the states, and they didn't choose any of the...

Ahhh, right, that was what it was called. Mafia. Forgot all about mafia. I love games, don't get me wrong, but if I play them: I'll never get to writing, which I love even more :) It's already bad enough that I enjoy forums, if only for the nostalgia of what having a social life is like ^__^...

Vaerama, the innocent bystander, was found torn to little pieces up in an oak tree, almost as if she'd been murdered by the resident werewolf/vampire/serial killer/oogie boogie/assassin/ghost-of-possession/secret agent/splinter cell/skinsuit-wearing-murder-hobo. Whatever game ya'll are playin...

I mean, I think I do? Got the GL tag right up top and everything. RRL doesn't have one, so I noted it in the summary. Hasn't hit trending, so whether I'll be proven right or wrong on that decision (RRL thinks those tags are 'content warnings' that'll hotbutton downvotes/bad reviews, as it were...

That masochism tag, I very much want it. I could replace ‘sentimental protagonist’ with it easily enough, it’s probably a better way to lure poor unsuspecting folks into my web... But I won’t take it anyways, for even though I’ve immolated my MC and made her self cannibalize (which she...

Egypt for my personal play. Double the generals means double the armies, even with the ‘let me always fight full armies’ mod. Focus fire from archers and cavalry cleanup does a lot if you can keep them safe. Breaking an army into pieces one unit at a time is a pleasure. Course, husband’s...

I think I figured it out, actually. It’s shields, carrying javelins, and being the only ones who kept such a large actual professional army at the time. Gladius’s are shite anyways, terrible metal, simply couldn’t go beyond a certain size. Crusades. Those are way more fun. Metal absolutely...

When I watch my husband play through his Rome 2 (total war) battles, I believe I’ve grown over-fond of the phalanx supported by (light) cavalry, archers, and a few swordsmen on the flank. Completely skipping the ‘skirmishing’ phase of a battle, just boxing and crushing from the flanks. It’s...

XD or your nifty hat with a spike on top?

That’s just a lack of creativity on the makers of that world. I’ve always found the whole ‘they cut bullets faster than you can fire them’ to be super weak as a storytelling device. Sure it is their fantasy, so they can pretend however makes them happy. ? Bayonetta minus her guns? That’s...

That’s fair. A sword can split a spear and is still dangerous along its length. I would contest that the reach of the spear in an unarmored duel might score you the first strike, but once you’ve thrusted your danger is over for a moment. If you’re in a bash against someone else in full plate...

Doesn’t change bad design. Fantasy worlds do even worse with swords. They’re weighty, they’re unwieldy, they require too much training.... and if your world has combat-capable magic in it: close combat itself is the dumbest thing you could do. If you feel you *must* attempt close combat in such...
