The gm, who is also the store owner, put down the X card and explained the rules of it. So for the next hour or so, rather then make crash or rude comments in response to what was being said by the gm or players, when ever I thought of one I would touch the X card :D Lots of laughs at the table. When the kids across the table began competing with me to hit the card, the gm made me stop, but it was fun while it lasted.Sectorbobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13847162161293272504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-86693552970932183102016-10-20T19:58:21.014-03:002016-10-20T19:58:21.014-03:00Preach, brother!

These are all tools to help people know they are supported in case something comes up. They have been used zero times in all of those games.<br /><br />In a space horror type game I was running for 2 close friends (at home / private space), we had a situation come up where I suggested that a fungus had taken over our brains. One friend turned a bit pale, and requested a no-thank-you. If I had explained the X-card that game, that's what she would've grabbed (we had that discussion later). Turns out it was triggering due to some history (I didn't ask and didn't care). Main thing is I was supportive of retcon and changing the narrative to suit.<br /><br />Personally, I've found those tools make people feel comfortable and more apt to allow for open gaming, and not a tool to stifle play. But hey, maybe your mileage has varied. Any tool can be abused by an asshole (or lack of tool/structure).Tomeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09945591307576136142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-31716260988903985342016-10-20T03:13:00.227-03:002016-10-20T03:13:00.227-03:00This comment has been removed by the author.Efiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07324613063326368764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-35644739695129443652016-10-20T03:12:37.168-03:002016-10-20T03:12:37.168-03:00Isn't it funny that people who profess a desir...Isn't it funny that people who profess a desire to be inclusive get hung up on labels. Those people who ask me how I feel about something as a Native American male. Guess what, I feel the way I do as a individual, not a race. When you marginalize yourself, you will always be a minority, not a person.Efiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07324613063326368764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-80779221777222877522016-10-20T02:16:08.209-03:002016-10-20T02:16:08.209-03:00This comment has been removed by the author.Gleblixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03546938383587063556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-44286125902463121422016-10-20T01:43:51.671-03:002016-10-20T01:43:51.671-03:00Preach.
