This post reminded me that I actually have lost (or at least lost touch with) friends over gaming differences. Had a 3.0/3.5 game of DnD that went on for something like 4 years and, near the and of it, with my circa 2009 head-up-assedness, I tried to basically reboot 19th or 20th level characters into 2nd edition Heroquest or something like that. Then I tried to get them to play Sorcerer. Some of them don’t even reply to my emails anymore, and I can understand why.

So… yeah. Wasn’t Fate, but it was definitely caused by a rush of indie story-gaming-ness back in the day.
