Again, that's works because WotC is organized like PFS so as long as both parties are actually participants and the complaint is timely, that approach still works. Move out into the general convention space and very often different types of solutions are needed.

And no mention of threatening to throw people, which was a rather large part of some of your earlier posts. That was my biggest problem with your earlier comments. Simply telling people to be respectful and mindful of those around them is a world away from some of your hypothetical situations...

Thuvian notes Jonas' concern quietly before replying. "He comes from a time that it probably took a bit of self interest and evil inclinations to survive. He calls this place a haven, which suggests that it dates to collapse of the Golden Age or just after. It would most certainly not have been...

And if that is how they actually get used, they work fantastically, but I would say that it's fairly clear that's not how it ends up playing out in most of the scenarios that people are mentioning in this thread. In most small conventions and game stores, the policy doesn't actually kick in...

That's true, but threatening to throw someone out of the con because of what turns out be nothing more than a simple unintentional misunderstanding because you favor now over correct a bit too much is also something that needs to be avoided. There are almost always other solutions that can be...

This is absolutely true, but to me it simply highlights why there needs to be room to ask questions. The process of doing so absolutely must be done with care, but I cannot truly help someone if I don't at least know the basics of the probem and why they feel like harassment occurred. If I am...

"I suspect it has been closer to two or three thousand years and the events that shaped are current calendar were still far in the future when this haven was created. The world is still very much liveable, though from what little is known of that period in history, I can easily see why its...

One big aspect that just came into my head that I haven't seen mentioned in this thread is that most cons and managers at game stores have resources and tricks up their sleeve that are not known to the average customer or con attendee. If I am helping run a convention for the 20th time, I almost...

That's part of the problem, but it's not actually what bugs me the most about the idea. People who are that desparate to game the system will always find a way to do so; which policy they use to do so is of little concern to such people. My biggest concern is reliance on phrases that usually...

It's less about viewing the complaint as legitimate or not and far more about having the necessary information to actually do something genuinely effective. Just issuing warnings to people who may not have the slightest idea of why they are being warned does absolutely nothing to fix the...

And that is precisely why I despise the idea that people don't have to explain themselves. You are basically asking a complete stranger to insert themselves with no details into a situation that is at best unfriendly and at worst hostile and potentially dangerous, but if they react like any...

I cannot possibly disagree with this more than I do and I will almost certainly get skewered for saying this, but this is absolutely the thing I despise most about people who are pushing for doing more about harassment. You are absolutely entitled to your opinion and I cannot tell you it's...

Brog releases an arrow, aiming for the same mount that others have. shortbow attack, damage: 1D20+2 = [16]+2 = 18; 1D6 = [3] = 3

That's not fine with me. Most of the people I find most irritating when this topic comes up are those that are screaming that loudest about what others should be doing in the name of "inclusiveness" while completely ignoring the fact that they are in fact being just as non-inclusive as those...

In my experience, the most effective way to object to a product I don't like is to simply not buy it, and most companies that put out niche products are prepared for this. Complaints about products from people that know full well before they start complaining the product is not for them are...

"I suspect that someone folllowed your advice to seal the place up; it was only to our knowledge recently rediscovered and the seal broken. The year is 1315 and we were hired to explore this complex to see if the theories and timelines of our employer are accurate. Simply leaving would likely...

"I can somewhat understand him, but he is talking too softly to make out what he is saying." Thuvian frowns as he assesses the situation, but as Thad resettles into his place on his masters shoulder, the tiefling steps forward quietly, wielding no weapons and looking as non-threatening as...

Brog Strongheart Brog tossess the lizard a bit of a snack before preparing to move on. When the flying goblins appear he draws his bow and prepares to fire. Initiative: 1D20+1 = [5]+1 = 6

Brog attack; damage: 1D20+3 = [2]+3 = 5; 1D10+2 = [3]+2 = 5

"Thad may be young, but he's figured out enough to not get overly excited about dust and mice. They've found something, and I am willing to bet that whatever they found is not expecting nor is likely to be particularly welcoming of random visitors."
