    Consent in Gaming is closed?

    It had done that a few times though. Given time someone was bound to come in again and retread old grounds and start the whole cycle over again. It was a fruitful discussion but I'm happy to let it lie.

    Consent in Gaming - Free Guidebook

    So I was thinking on how I could approach these topics at my table as I find the form doesn't quite work for me. I think I will come up with a questionnaire. Not something to hand to my players, but something I can go over with them one on one with questions like "Are there any topics you would...

    D&D General Should a low level character know to burn a troll?

    Bladders give gall. I mean I didn't read the whole anatomy book, but I skimmed it so I'm pretty sure about this one.

    D&D 5E (2014) Making monks cool again

    Since a recent errata any stunned creature will automatically fail to escape grapples. So even an 8 str monk can grapple with impunity as long as they stun their foe first.

    What's a word for a non-adventurer?

    Hmm. Townsfolk, city folk, civilized or settled all rule out nomadic folk. Folk may still be the best word. How about Sane? or Respectable? Edit: For example "A Respectable Barbarian works for the good of the tribe. He doesn't go slacking off with Wizards and their ilk."

    I don't know about "shrill" in fact I don't think I've ever used that word before. But if there is panic you can always remind folks: I guess I just don't see that. Or this. Or this. perfectly reasonable On this we agree.

    I like to feel I'm having a reasonable discussion about it. But I might be wrong.

    Consent in Gaming - Free Guidebook

    I actually feel the same way, but for that exact reason I like that it was written. I like that we are talking about it so I can say things like: The default being No unless everyone buys in won't work for me because I can't anticipate all things triggering, but a short list of things most...

    Why are you saying this? No one has argued that Conventions and Stores have to use it. Also Monte Cook is not the author.

    I work in an industry were consent is important, but few would realize it as it's always phrased as "buy in." If we don't buy in on said system/process/technology/solution it is bound to fail regardless of how good it is is a pretty well accepted truth in my day to day world. So I've always...

    D&D 5E (2014) Tell me about your Adventures in Middle-Earth experiences, please

    Dunedain do get some advantages over other human cultures, but with regard to Cultural Heirlooms and even cultural Virtues I think they fall behind. They have a slight advantage in the beginning, but not enough to tip game balance IMHO. There are much worse problems with balance however (I'm...

    D&D 5E (2014) Baldur's Gate: Descent Into Avernus First Impressions

    Last year some firends of mine started a Storm's Kings Thunder campaign. It also has some intro stuff to get you to level quickly. Besides me and the DM, the players were new and had no idea that that was the purpose. They loved it. So yes, people do like it. New players, and some people love...
