There's no one-size-fits-all questionnaire Also, why would they have to fill it out at the table. Can't it be emailed and filled out separately and then sent to the DM? And if the gamers could get actual feedback for these surveys rather than having every single forum and reddit discussion...

Right. Because everyone has something they're not comfortable with and has a line they don't want crossed. And it's different for everyone. And the old method of assuming people's lines were the same as the DM's caused problems and made things un-fun It keeps being brought up because everyone...

If only there was some kind of form that could be filled out to give the GM an idea...

Then give CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM where you identify the problem and suggest how it could be improved instead of just crapping on it and not providing any fixes It's not perfect, but can do better? And the DM is responsible for what happens at the table. They decide when to call for rolls and...

You're still assuming a significant percentage of gamers are misrepresenting their desire for safety tools Everyone has a line they don't want crossed Everyone

The form is meant to START the conversation, not replace it It's there to make sure you know what to ask rather than missing something because you don't consider it a potential trigger

This is selection bias at work It's not ubiquitous. It just seems like that because the people who need to safety tools discuss them and the ones who don't need them don't discuss them And because it's a new concept that people are still learning and haven't automatically incorporated into...

So because you don't need them no one else should need them either?

Fair. But would you want your issues and pain brought up at the table? If you began to feel uncomfortable and stopped having fun, would you want the DM to ignore you? Or to stop/ cut away? It doesn't even really need to be trauma. This is just basic etiquette As an example, some players are...

The physical pain from receiving daily wedgies in middle school that lifted me off the ground until my underware ripped healed within the week The emotional pain from those years of bullying healed... so far never All this is telling me is you have never been seriously victimized or emotionally...

Web and Hold Person aren't "plot or story elements." Also, what part of "requires discussion" is unclear? And there's a big difference between the Paralyzed game condition by a monster and being paralyzed due to spinal injury. If someone was in a bad car crash in their teens and ran the risk of...

Kay, if you're gaming with someone who is LYING about their mental health problems, you need to find a new player If they're lying about that, how can you trust them not to fudge spell slots, hit points or dice rolls? And that's such a rare and unusual thing it's not real problem. It's a massive...

It should be "While wielding this sword, as an action you can expend 1 charge to summon..." or "While wielding this sword, you can use an action to expend 1 charge to summon..." Also, PLANE of existence This is pretty minor. The Eldritch Knight can do this at-will. Doesn't seem worth a charge...

The checklist is a tool. It's so you don't forget something or make assumptions. It covers all the bases This friend I'm talking about? Known him for eight years. Countless hours. And I didn't know he had a thing for body horror until a month ago because it never occurred to me to ask. It never...

When you go to a movie, you're choosing to buy the ticket. You're opting in and know what you're purchasing When that same film is shown on TV there IS often a message at the front. "The following program contains violence and graphic subject matter..." Just cause someone likes some horror...

More than a little weird so many peeps are saying "4e." Think most gamers would be thrilled to have a game that got half as many books as 4th Ed got. Even without counting all the online content If I get a book each year for some of my faves I feel blessed My heartbreaks are the usual. Groups...

Not familiar with that Podcast. Is it edited or raw audio?

This thread amuses me Suggesting you should talk with your players and ask what types of adventure they want and what they find fun, and everyone is completely onboard Suggesting you should talk with your players and ask what types of content makes them uncomfortable and disrupts their fun, and...

Crawford's tweets haven't been official rulings for ages Over two years

I'm somewhat disturbed that you went with critical hit when "natural 1" and fumble was right there
