    D&D 5E I'm *GASP* Actually Going to Be Playing 5e in a Few Weeks -- What are the Character Creation Pitfalls to Avoid?

    I can't drink while playing. I'm a mean sober as it is. Now, my big advice to give is Do Not Assume. Things that are very similar work differently for different classes, and it's the subtle things that will mess you up. When checking something, make sure that you check to see if that specific...

    We're All Gamers Together: Why Harassment Has To Stop

    By all means, separate them. Tell them to stay away from each other. Watch them more closely, watch for patterns of behavior. Document it for the future. But don't do the "whether you did it or not doesn't matter; what matters is that someone said you did, so you have to leave." One big thing...

    Then all of you are wrong. I understand that you, Dannager, are mentally disabled enough to believe that you have already won and that "The accusation is the evidence" is already the standard, but your willful stupidity does not affect everybody. As much as you would like it to, it couldn't, or...

    Actually, it's because your arrogance IS an actual moral wrong. But mostly, it's because you're a worthless a-hole who needs to be called on his BS. You went on the attack against me, trying to figure out what I think, when I stayed civil to you. My civility has come to an end.

    We're All Gamers Together: Why Harassment Has To Stop

    As a parent, and as someone who believes that the truth is always relevant, I separate the children when they are fighting, sending them into different parts of the house. I don't deprive either one of anything until I am certain that wrongdoing has happened and by whom. And if I can't determine...

    Here's the thing - when the war is over, the fighting is done. Everybody acknowledges that the war is over, including the losers. The winners don't have to try to convince people, "Hey, my side won!" because everybody knows it already. Especially when you state that the objective is to crush a...

    We're All Gamers Together: Why Harassment Has To Stop

    You seem so convinced that you have already won that you are openly declaring that everybody already agrees with you and that anybody who doesn't has already been crushed. The surest way to lose a war is to proclaim that you have already won.

    There is a 4th choice, one that you won't like. Which is to do what you believe you have done, and that is to resist and fight to overcome.

    Ok. I thought you were thinking that I was arguing against social pressure. That makes sense now. And it is my opinion that just keeping the peace shouldn't be the priority, especially when better options are available. And those are reasonable things to do. But these are not "The accusation...

    I think you have me confused with someone else. My only objection here is to the idea of a "one accusation means expulsion". In fact, pointing out to someone when they are out of line would be appropriate many times.

    In regards to my time at 19, the story is more complicated than that; it's not relevant except that it wasn't me trying to be racist, but me genuinely not knowing that I was saying something racist. And part of my Good Idea is "See something, say something". Sometimes, it can be as simple as a...

    Cameras. Increased security. "See something, say something." A policy that says that all harassment and assault claims will be treated seriously - which does not mean "The accusation is the evidence". Training for the security on how to handle situations like that. Lt's go for gold here. Men to...

    Can we take the topic of female-only tables to another thread? It's really not related to this.

    We're All Gamers Together: Why Harassment Has To Stop

    It's not derailing to say, "Here is why this idea won't work, so let's do this other one". That is called problem solving. I have an interest in solving the problem, but I want solutions that do not create more problems for me. I found one. I fail to see how you can be opposed to a policy that...

    People talk about controversial subjects all the time, regardless of context. It would be appropriate when someone asks me, "So how do you define gender?" for example.

    This was said about 40 pages ago or so, but actively doing injustice to innocent people is not a cost that has to be paid. The solution is a simple one: Increased cameras, increased surveillance, more security, and an emphasis on "See something, say something". That is a system that works. It...

    And again: I was talking about how to solve the problem without creating another problem. And frankly, as a man, I have a vested interest in not having a situation where a woman can have me thrown out of a convention because she doesn't like a political stance I take. Let's start with a simple...
