Message: <blockquote data-quote="Stacie GmrGrl" data-source="post: 7821838" data-attributes="member: 86279">When I read the Consent in Gaming document it did come across a bit like what would be discussed between people who are negotiating a BDSM scene to eventually play in between consenting parties, only all references of BDSM were changed to Gaming instead...but that's just anecdotal.I feel the real reason for all of this to be coming up now is more people want to be part of a game group that feels like it has more Integrity in it. I also think the heavy handed way this document goes about it is offputting. The real purpose of it is to get everybody on The same page at the table, to help people become more Aware, to help with having better Session 0's, and create a space where everybody has a voice that recognizes then.But this document is written in a way that it will probably cause an increase in misunderstanding, sow more chaos, and it will have (is having) the opposite effect... Which is its created dissension and argument. It's absolute focus on promoting the power one person can have over the group is an issue. And nowhere does this document bring up the idea that if a person is having struggles at the table with some of the table's content that perhaps the player should leave the table... That maybe it's the wrong table for them. I think part of consent is understanding your own limits. I will never play a game of Shadow of the Demon Lord for that reason... It's body horror isn't for me. So why would I go to a table to play that game and then try to use the X-card to change it for my own selfishness? I much prefer Lines and Veils myself. I prefer having a good Session 0 where communication is important and everybody can feel comfortable. And I think starting in the future what I will do is hand out index cards at the start of the game so people can write their phobias down in secret so i know what not to put into the game.It all comes down to Integrity to me.</blockquote>
