    Things the Report button is NOT for

    Yeah, but Lanefan, and this is pretty important - you aren't in grade school anymore. We expect folks to have outgrown schoolyard solutions by the time they get here.

    Things the Report button is NOT for

    So, here's a thing many people don't seem to get: A bit of red text isn't a huge deal. Yes, a moderator told you (generic, not you, RoughCoronet) to knock off whatever it was you were doing. But if you do knock it off... that's it. It's done. If you aren't making a habit of it, and aren't...

    What Lost, Abandoned or Short Lived TTRPG would you like to see get a re-issue and new support?

    What you seemed to miss was the big "ORDER NOW" button. The game is available for sale. I know, because I bought it. https://www.everwaygame.com/shop

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Yeah. My wife maintains Amazon prime to get things she needs for her business quickly, so Prime is a side effect. My PBS subscription i also view as a public good. I just cut cable a little while back, and even with boosting my internet speeds on the new package, that saved over a hundred bucks...

    Things the Report button is NOT for

    No, that's fine. Trying to find a single point of instigation is often difficult - people kind of slide into it over the course of several interchanges.

    SkyNet really is ... here?

    Mod note: So... after some consideration... For one thing, what you are asking is not clearly stated on the OP. For another, we don't support "arguments against only" threads. Now, folks who are gung ho for AI should read the room, and recognize that posting feel-good stories in the middle...

    @Remathilis and @Aldarc Really, folks? You two know this exchange is a problem. So stop already. Thanks.

    Can we have (-) only threads now?

    I know Morrus closed the thread, but this bears a comment or two... 1) As noted, if you think someone is misusing the (+) concept, you can report it. 2) the point of the thread is to not argue with the general premise of the thread. So, if someone posts a (+) thread like, "What do you plan to...

    Is it appropriate to post a list of games I'm selling off at a discount?

    We used to have a Marketplace forum. I think it withered and dropped off from lack of use.

    Is it appropriate to post a list of games I'm selling off at a discount?

    The Promotions forum would be fine for that.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Well, apparently it hates you, too. Just remember, you're the one with the thumbs.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    If you are going to sign a ditty, make sure to get permission. Signing someone else's ditty without consent means either an uncomfortable meeting with HR, or an IP lawyer, or both.

    Daggerheart General Thread [+]

    If one is discussing the merits of the system and working with it, yes, it can totally be ignored, especially in a (+) thread.

    Have You Used The X Card Or Seen It Used In Person?

    Well, folks use variations. The most recent and constructive conversations I've seen about it are that the person who invokes the X Card does not have to explain. But they may, to the extent they want, if they are okay with doing so and feel it would help. And, yes, it helps the GM if there's...

    Have You Used The X Card Or Seen It Used In Person?

    Yep. Have you missed that I said that there's nothing wrong with an open door policy, and that we can use them and X Cards at the same table? Nobody is arguing against the open door policy. Nor is anyone arguing that you must choose only one. These are tools in a toolbox. Pick what...

    Have You Used The X Card Or Seen It Used In Person?

    Sure. But those are different situations, with different social dynamics. Managing them requires different techniques. There is no universal social tool. If that's what you require, you're kind of out of luck. Okay. As I have already said - your table, your choice. Maybe there's not a...

    Have You Used The X Card Or Seen It Used In Person?

    Well, let's look at this a bit more closely. After the third invocation, it is pretty clear that the player has a problem with Plot Keep. The player doesn't actually have to say what their problem is, but it is fair for the GM to ask, at least in private, what they can to do help the player...

    Have You Used The X Card Or Seen It Used In Person?

    No, they do not. An open door policy gives players a way to disengage form the game entirely, for as long as they wish. The X Card gives players a way to get past the specific issue and otherwise stay engaged with the game. So, not the same end. And not mutually exclusive, either - an Open...
