Consent in Gaming - Free Guidebook

[Sacrosanct]

Man, the enchiladas were good. Like, one of my best. Along with beer I had brewed? Perfect combo.

Ok, now with a full belly and clear head, I think there is some middle ground here being lost. Primarily differentiating between private game tables you’ve had with friends (in which case I’m sure you’re already aware of any triggers or problem areas), tables where you invite others to play, and public tables (flgs and conventions). In the latter, I can see value in this survey. Going both ways. It lets me know of any potential issues players might have I can avoid as the DM, and tells me the player who wants narrate his relationship with a preteen kid needs to hike the frak off.

Let’s be real. Those of us who have gamed a while, we have met those really creepy gamers. If this tool helps identify them out of the gate, good.

Once again, you are reading things into this document that aren't being said. You're trying to extrapolate, but your extrapolations are colored by your own biases and preconceived notions. Here in "reality", it is your comments that are divorced from the actual text

Out of interest who are you addressing this to?

Got ninja'd, but would've been shunted to a new page anyway, added an @ for clarity

I really need a few beers after this thread.

Are you sure you are old enough for those?

Depends, what's the drinking age in Russia?

In Soviet Russia everyone is born drunk.

Well I been on this forum since 2004. So at least 15. Or at least I wish I was

I find the RPG Consent Checklist to be of very limited use in a convention setting or at a game store. I don't know how the rest of you run your games in a public space, but by the time I arrive it's too late to give a survey because my adventure was written long before that day. If my adventure involves an NPC lying to the PCs to convince them that they didn't see what they thought they saw, I very well can't change the adventure on the fly because someone in the group marked that Gaslighting was unacceptable. If I'm running an adventure with the premise that a hurricane just destroyed their homes and they've got to find shelter before they're out of the eye, well, I can't very well change things at that point. (Maybe some of you are talented enough to make those changes on short notice but I'm not.)
