1975. I could have fathered half of you. (And given that I don't remember a lot of weekends in college, I may have. Just sayin')

Ya know who was President when I was born? Gerald-freakin'-Ford. 

You could be, but I really doubt it.

You would have been 20 if that was the case. However, given my mother is substantially older then you are, unless you slept with your professor at Columbia Counter-terrorism I doubt it.

If only!
(That I'd been at Columbia studying counter-terrorism, not that I slept with your mom.)

(Not that I mean any disrespect towards your mother, I'm sure she's a fine lady.)

(Fine, as in upstanding and worthy of respect, not fine as in "I'd hit it.")

(I'll just shut up now.)

1985. Saw my birthday come up in the Watchmen movie.

1998. So, older than Miauw, almost as old as Scelly (just like 2 more months left till I'm 15), around the age of Fniff, and two or so years younger than Misko... Huh.

[Yoink]

Wow... this is weird. Seeing all these birth years in the late '90s makes me feel kinda old, then seeing ones back in prehistoric times balances it out a little. 1993 here. Whatever, I feel old at the moment. I'm twenty, damnit! D:

I don't know much about what went on in my birth year/decade, but I remember how on New Years 2000, when my (much) older sister expressed dismay at having missed the massive NYE celebrations in the cities(we lived out in the bush), my seven-year-old response was a shrug and "There's always next time."
Hehehehe.

[MrWillsauce]

I didn't expect to be older than Scelly.

1995. Relevant to my generation: my birthday falls on the exact day of the second challenge in the Triwizard Tournament :V

Also: I came in here feeling all depressed and ready to unburden myself to your sympathetic ears.
Instead, I read the discussion, smiled a bit, and made a light-hearted, possibly-mildly-humorous-if-you-look-at-it-sideways-and-squint post.
I still feel sad, but not quite as sad.
So thanks, guys.

Good old '90 (except there was nothing good about the 90's). Barely missed the Berlin Wall.

Eh.

Not sure what I am going to do about my pathfinder game. While I am extremely disheartened I know I am easily discouraged.

The issue however is fundemental in that my players don't trust me. There is no expectation that I am attempting to run a fun game for everyone and that I am intentionally being as malicious as possible in order to kill the PCs.

Which to confound it, the only death the game has had was a suicide... on the second session.

I don't know what to do at all. This doesn't seem like something I can recover from because no matter how well I run the game, no matter how uneventful or overeventful things are... The players are always going to think I am out to get them in the worst way.

Which for a game where I need to challenge them is like a poison.

I think the issue ultimately was that I should have been more transparent and told my players EXACTLY how things worked. Though that is all retrospect. Now it is about whether or not I should continue the game.

In terms of what I want to do. I want to continue the game.

Yet I know that as a DM it is my responsibility to ensure the best possible games I can provide to my players.

As well I know a few of them are talking about how terrible a DM I am and talking to the other players about it. Which is a 50% "we don't like how you are DMing" ratio.

----

Nevermind I ended it.

The players weren't having fun and did not believe I was there for their enjoyment.

I am saddened.

Here? Early 1992.

I'm freaking ancient man. Twenty-one already... :X
