Eberron does look cool.  My group was going to play it, but the problem was that everybody wanted to play a warforged.

Remind me to tell everybody how cool Lone Wolf is.  Psychic combat kicks!!

She essentially objected to the amount of time being spent on something she considered stupid, which I'm discovering is a pretty common attitude here in Logan. She didn't forbid him to come or anything, she just constantly told him how she kept hoping we'd cancel it, and blah blah blah, so he eventually just relented and called it quits. I think I might move to email, though--not quite as fun, but at least I'll get to keep playing.

That's stupid. If she cared about him, shy didn't try to figure out why he wanted to play. I guess I shouldn't judge but I found out last week that one of my friends from UVSC is entering into a doomed marriage.

I have to agree with 42 here.  If she cared she would let him play.  I have been married for 3 years and my wife has always been understanding of my need for some good old-fashioned role-playing.  In exchange I understand that she will need to spend several late nights a week at the theatre doing her acting stuff.  A little give and take should be expected in a marriage. No one should have to choose between marriage and a hobby.  The significant other should be more understanding.

Guess I just got lucky in that area.  (No pun intended)
Boogie woogie woogie!!

As it turns out, I think he was getting kind of bored with the game anyway. It was his first RPG, and I'm not entirely sure he liked it.

still, If I were him Id get into trouble I'm sure. If she wouldn't stop nagging me about playing I wouldn't stop nagging her about something I found equally "stupid" like needlepoint or soap operas or something.

I'd like to welcome you to the forum, papersword, and I'd like to warn you that you're going to get some flak for being new--all of our newbies get it, and usually from the same people. Just stick it out and play nice, and you'll be an old regular in no time.

it may be too late to save you, but a couple tips that will stave off much flaming (based on your post history):

Fewer smilies. You have one post with at least 8 of them.
less resurrection: most of your posts are on topics that are more than a month old.
more content: several of your posts don't contribute to the conversation

Ah, those were the good old days...
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)
