Nah. This was session zero. We had not started this game yet and the comment was in reaction to a list of possible triggers, not anything that had come up prior. We had played together previously, but this was my first time DMing for her and since we're not close, I did the checklist. (I've also...

I literally said I had a player who told me she has a concern with animal and child abuse in.game and @Lanefan suggested that I should have told her "we all want child abuse in our game, go play something else." How else am I supposed to take that? Yes, there is a frightening lack of empathy...

Is the game so important that you would forsake your friends for it? D&D: Serious Business ™️ indeed!

Absolutely. My players are my friends first and my players second.

I keep forgetting that Players are like Kleenex around here. ,

I guarantee it would not be boring reheated Lord of the Rings leftovers!

Because: a.) I didn't plan on making that a factor in my game anyway; b.) I like the person I'm playing with; and c.) I have no need to prove how HARDCORE!!!1! I am by telling her "suck it up buttercup or leave!". Who am I trying to impress? You people? If a friend doesn't like spicy food, I...

Remind me not to come to your parties, they're byof!

I find it really amusing when people say that and then rant about how D&D species are losing their lore and place in the game...

I didn't realize how much I need a reborn bard named Elvira running around Ravenloft until just now. Viscous mockery indeed!

Human Orc Tiefling Shadar-kai Drow Warforged Kender Yuan-ti Aarakroca Dhampir D&D: DM has a conniption edition

You realize that is why when some people ask to play Dragonborn and tortles and get a little miffed when they are only offered the Tolkien selection again and again, right?

I dislike humans. Are they banned in your game now?

Oh returning to topic. I'm glad D&D has evolved to add safety tools to the game. Too many horror stories of campaigns devolving into "the DMs thinly disguised fetish".

Isn't that what lines, veils and X cards are for? I have a player who just joined who admitted she's squeamish about child and animal abuse. Guess what I'm going to avoid using in my plots? (or just gloss over, you can infer child casualties in a sacked village without describing child...

I think that's kinda the part I don't understand. I might not particularly like scrambled eggs, but if I'm making a brunch for guests I'm still serving them even if I don't eat any. Bringing it back to D&D, there are some species I probably would never play (like say, centaurs) but I don't...

Human (base) Elf (high, wood, drow) Dwarf Gnome (rock, forest, river) Halfling Orc Dragonborn (scaley representative) Goliath (large size rep) Tabaxi (furry rep) Fairy (flying and fey rep) Triton (water based rep) Planetouched (aasimar, tiefling and genasi subtypes) In addition, a "custom"...

Every game has totally new players? You don't keep the same players from campaign to campaign? The option remains open but unused. But it left an option open that either a different player may use as a choice or the player may use later. And not every player will pick that choice every time...

I think that's true of many players. They lack the language to express what they like. I'm sure if I asked all my players what they like, nobody would say what I just said about them. But I know what kinds of characters they have played in the past and I know what to expect even if they won't or...

I mean, I know my players over the years and what they tend towards. One player always gravitates to the Big Damn Hero. His wife plays quirky comic relief. Another plays the weirdest option on the menu. The other will always play the brooding antihero. My last doesn't matter because he's shy and...
