I feel you. For me the worst is when they mention that they are 5e or PBTA at the end after reading the pitch and getting that moment of excitement just to be let down.

As a Baltimorean the war of 1812 is more important to me than most. I was even a living historian at fort mchenry for a summer. But yeah it was in the end a kinda pointless war as nothing really changed at all after it.

Glad you are still working on aeon dominion. From the information you have given about it the game would be my jam.

I feel that here is my haul from the other day.

You were one of two people to actually give me advice when I was thinking about running in my cities mayoral primary (I lost sadly) . I plan on running for my states legislature in 2026. My advice for others is if you want to run, go for it. You will learn a lot and meet many great people
