Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ringtail" data-source="post: 9737662" data-attributes="member: 7015570">I've never used the X-Card, but I've had situations where we basically invoked it, just without the presence of an actual card. For example, a campaign my brother ran where one of our party was getting flirted with by an NPC. Another of our player's had a new power that allowed him to see through an allies eyes and proposed they should go seduce the girl so he could watch. Both myself and the GM's wife were uncomfortable with this suggestion. GM's wife shouted NO, Absolutely not. No no no. Her tone was very aggressive, which put the other player on the defensive. The magical peeping did not happen. (He was actually joking and felt he didn't deserve to get actually yelled at rather than told it was gross not funny.) While we managed to resolve this situation without the use of an X-Card, both players involved were tense for the rest of the session and I felt the table get massively awkward for the remainder of the session. I honestly think the X-Card would have benefited us here, allowing us to resolve the situation more diplomatically. But I'm never going to blame another woman for speaking her mind and protesting loudly. This was also a group of family members and long time friends (nearly a decade at that time, well over it now) showing that even well-established groups can have bumps sometimes.</blockquote>
