The last session I did, using the REUP version, was...6 years and 3 months ago, how time flies! It was the first full campaign I'd run (at ages 14.5-16) & set about a millennium before the prequel trilogy. I still remember the rules pretty well

I think the confusion comes from mixing up an established romantic relationship with feelings of romantic attraction, which can include shallow crushes & the like. A demiromantic person would be *unable* to get attracted to someone without already being emotionally close, as I understand it

He was a good man, that Kagan, far too kind for the real world. I miss him.

"Big Stepan", Kagan used to call me. "With your big head and your big ideas", he'd sometimes add, as if to remind me that at 160 cm or so, I was not a very big man. He figured me an ambitious guy—"first Yerevan, then the Union, someday the world, eh?"—but I just had thoughts about everything.

"I can excuse nabbing half of our territory including the Holy Land and our most agriculturally productive province, but I draw the line at calling yourself the emperor of Rome"

I'd say it depends on the time period—mostly Sasanians at first, the caliphate for a few centuries (eventually w/ grudging respect), Goths Lombards Avars Bulgars Rus or Seljuks at specific points—but yeah, Franks deserve the most blame for the empire's collapse, the Ottomans just finished the job

I'm not even advocating for ideological moderacy—even from a radical/revolutionary standpoint there's value in applying *some* realpolitik. If direct leftist victory isn't possible, a victory by liberals over reactionaries or fascists still gives more room to maneuver & build power by other means

agree with the first & last parts but the US Left is small emough that any practical success requires buillding alternatives AND pressuring the Democrats to move left not either/or, which means engaging with them whether we like it or not—we just have to understand they're not our friends
