A little simulation could help with that. I know I feel more immersed when logistics matter in my games.

This is true. A lot of gamers IME who are familiar with modern D&D are assuming special forces action missions and need to be informed otherwise if that's not what you want to run.

All the Without Number games do great work with survival rules. The newest, Ashes Without Number, is particularly impressive in that respect IMO.

Plenty of games are good for this. Just not modern D&D.

That's my goal nearly all the time. I want exploration and discovery, with a healthy dollop of diplomacy and politics, and the occasional life and death struggle, not special forces action assignments. My favorite "adventure" format is the hexcrawl. Trade and commerce would be nice too

Man, that was a cool game!

That is a laugh of joy,to be clear.

Still time for late pdf pledges? Is there a special link for that?

I would just present your argument as you've done here. There's no good reason I can see for your GM to refuse. Do you know why they would?

Because when they don't, it looks like they're saying their opinion is objectively true. If you disagree, all that does is lead to otherwise avoidable conflict.

If they don't see you, that should be all that matters to you IMO. There's a difference between deciding to ignore someone (which everyone I think should be able to do) and forcing someone else to ignore you with no recourse. You are harming their experience of the site when it doesn't affect...

Ok, that is alien to my experience, but fair enough I guess. Not my site.

My point is you're not just making their presence disappear from your experience (which IMO should be all that matters to you when you move to ignore). You are making your presence disappear from their experience, as well as any interactions you have with anyone who isn't also ignoring them...

Strider at the Prancing Pony? That's at least 70 years old or so. Edit: Never mind. I see we're looking for Tolkien’s antecedents.

Fair, I'm sure my responses to posts have no gone well for me either sometimes. I think a lot of people don't bother to change the default when they use ignore, which is why I wish the default wasn't 100% lock out on both sides. Seems overly punitive for the intended purpose.

I suspected as much. I don't care for the assumed position being you are supposed to keep others from reading your posts, but it's not my call.

Like I said, everybody has a different line. It's just as subjective as any other opinion on this site.

Ok. The way I see it, anyone who's so bad I don't want to see their posts will get kicked altogether soon enough, but everyone has a different line.

Fair enough, but if it is mutual it's quite clear. That's why I asked if the mutual option is default (is it?). A lot of people must really dislike me. That's disheartening.

Is the default mutual? I've never seen it done otherwise that I know of, and inertia is a powerful force.
