>>98145664 X cards are really the best, I was once being mugged and I was acting like I was gonna pull out my money but i pulled out an X card instead. You should have seen the look on their face, knowing that they cant do anything now.
>>98145664 I love this mechanic, really makes my character feel powerful. Goblins, oozes, sorcerors, underground spaces: all will be utterly obliterated when I flash my X card. Legendary.
>>98145710 See that's the thing most reasonable people don't have issues with it (or any tool, it's not that the x card a fucking fetish bullshit wonderkind is good, its that reasonable people are reasonable).
Its really just a bad set of houserules being presented as a universal rule, which is why we need to bring back negative xp/different xp per class to make your game better.
>>98145664 While I have no need for them, X Cards are nice since I don't have to worry if anyone is uncomfortable. Not that I don't have lines, but if anyone manages to cross them, I'm better off not playing with them at all.
>>98145799 So, what's reasonable about someone who causes a disruption over a fictional description of something taking place in a world that either isn't our own or is an alternative of our own, happening to a character that isn't themself? What's reasonable about making someone who already has a bunch of work on his plate change his manner of speech (can't talk about where weapons/spells hit because that would be describing parts of a spider and can't talk about how the spider attacks because that would be describing parts of a fucking spider) or change entire encounters? What is reasonable about ruining other people's verisimilitude because descriptions have to be made vague or things have to be retconned immediately? Can you tell us?
>>98145664 I am personally convinced that the only people who give a shit about safety tools are nogames or those who cycle through groups so often they need to always vet the people in their table because every game is fucking session 1 >be in the discord of a local RPG community >someone asks how they implement safety tools and what techniques they can do etc. >pretty much everyone, even the most stereotypical blue haired pozloaded troon who I know plays games and have played games with answers that they either don't use it, don't feel the need to use it, or don't like using it
>>98145664 There are only two things that make anything fun and entertaining Heroism and romance The latter is awkward to do your with bros, so TTRPGs are limited to the former.
>>98146435 So weird how accusations of "culture warriors" only ever comes up when people start rightfully mocking actual nogaems behavior (i.e. the r/rpg losers waddle over to dump their trauma on our board).
>>98146141 It would be funny stand next to you and whisper in your ear, reciting all the sultry acts your mother committed last night. No X card. You can use a XXX card instead.
>>98146650 >I think the people who use X cards are playing with strangers at a convention or otherwise wow, what a brilliant insight, truly astounded by your wisdom
>>98145664 I'm not quite sure this warrants an X card, since any romance would require you as a player to opt-in. Just don't do anything romantic with anyone.
>>98145664 X Cards make sense if you look at them from the perspective of a terminally online mentally ill troon. They don't know how to resolve an argument other than magically making the other person stop talking, and places like discord and xitter have this really handy tool called the block button that lets them do just that. This is just the irl version of it.
>>98148872 If you keep dicking around and putting shit my abusive parents did to me in our game I'm going to shove you under the broiler (what brits would call a grill)
>>98152287 The outrage over X-cards, which I have never seen in play and seem incredibly rare, mimics the outrage over combat wheelchairs, which I have never seen in play and seem incredibly rare.
I'm not sure these people are able to get angry about things that matter.
>>98152750 Honestly, I'm just mildly confused at the concept, if only because the kind of table that cares enough about policing its content and making sure none of its players ever get the ickies would already know not to include the stuff that made them uncomfortable, while the kind of GM making content that an x-card is supposed to prevent probably would see someone tap the card and utterly blow them off. Like, maybe if it were a convention and they literally didn't have the time to talk about it, I guess? Or just like an assurance sort of thing?
>>98152800 Not paid, bit they're definitely shills. There's a declassified Epstein file where the Jeff explicitly describes to Thiel and Bannon how to do this inbetween orders to groom and rape m00t, conveniently one day before /pol/ is made. This one is real, as opposed to the "Epstein created lesbians" meme which comes only from Big Jeff posting a link to /u/ once
