This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

If I start wearing a Viking Hat at con games, I'm pretty confident nobody is going to mention the X card.

Quote from: Gagarth;1123738The use of X-cards (and declaring your pronouns) mandatory to run Zweihander games at GenCon 2020.  How long before it is mandatory to run anything at Gen Con.

The fact that the guy who copied WHFRP 1e is drinking of the deep kool-ade is, to me, hilarious since the Warhammer World is a brutal, ugly place where the only sense of "justice" is available to those with a sword or the coin to buy one, the value on human life is virtually nil, and your character has an equal chance of dying from typhus after stepping on a nail stuck through a rusty plank as they walk along the streets of Bogenhaven as they do fighting for a "noble cause".

Quote from: EOTB;1107513Any shared space will eventually become completely beholden to the most aggressive faction; this usually works best if the aggression isn't very strong; merely persistent, but never relenting as steps of change are secured until a critical mass is reached.  All that must be done is to keep the other side discussing your actions amongst themselves in lieu of any actions of their own.  The discussion can be entirely disapproving, so long as it remains an abstract response to your concrete iteration.

Unless conventions know for sure that they'll lose support before they're asked to adopt checklists on a DM-choice basis, they'll surely rationalize it as an acceptable compromise.  And it will remain DM-choice for a time.

Dammit man I came here to say the same thing in a far more meandering and wordy fashion and you scooped me :D

Someone might point out that no one ever wore a hat like that.

Then I'll go double pendantic on their ass! And with no pants, I shall explain that many people have most certainly worn the Viking Hat...just not the Vikings!

Great.  Now I want a big cardboard tower shield with a huge X painted on it.  If something in the game bothers you too much, pick up the "card" and place it between you and the game.  Remove when ready.  No explanation needed!  I guess it also needs to have an attached set of ear muffs. :D

It's a bi-directional X card.  Not only do you not need to deal with the game, no one else in the game needs to deal with you.  Almost as if the person using it had left the room ...

Pundit vs Fox reminds me of the Lord of the Rings on servants of the Shadow - that they would "seem fairer, and feel fouler". Pundit doesn't seem fair, but Fox feels foul.
