Romance is the one thing on my X Card.
>>98145664My group has only used it before to veto spider descriptions.
>>98145710Stuff like this is why I always like to include a list or x cards with a new group.
>>98145664X cards are really the best, I was once being mugged and I was acting like I was gonna pull out my money but i pulled out an X card instead. You should have seen the look on their face, knowing that they cant do anything now.
>>98145664I love this mechanic, really makes my character feel powerful. Goblins, oozes, sorcerors, underground spaces: all will be utterly obliterated when I flash my X card. Legendary.
>>98145710See that's the thing most reasonable people don't have issues with it (or any tool, it's not that the x card a fucking fetish bullshit wonderkind is good, its that reasonable people are reasonable). And then you have guys like this>>98145751Its really just a bad set of houserules being presented as a universal rule, which is why we need to bring back negative xp/different xp per class to make your game better.
>>98145664Traditional games?
X Cards so so stupid lol
>>98145664While I have no need for them, X Cards are nice since I don't have to worry if anyone is uncomfortable.Not that I don't have lines, but if anyone manages to cross them, I'm better off not playing with them at all.
>>98145664I don't need an X Card, because I can separate fiction from reality.
>>98145664What game?
>>98145799So, what's reasonable about someone who causes a disruption over a fictional description of something taking place in a world that either isn't our own or is an alternative of our own, happening to a character that isn't themself?What's reasonable about making someone who already has a bunch of work on his plate change his manner of speech (can't talk about where weapons/spells hit because that would be describing parts of a spider and can't talk about how the spider attacks because that would be describing parts of a fucking spider) or change entire encounters?What is reasonable about ruining other people's verisimilitude because descriptions have to be made vague or things have to be retconned immediately?Can you tell us?
>>98145710>>98145730>>98145799I X card whiny baby redditors like you from my table. The system has won me over.
>>98146141Call an ambulance for a psychotic episode and have the person involuntarily committed into a psych ward.
So weird how nogames culture warriors imagine themselves playing these games with a lobby of randoms instead of IRL friends they actually likeIts like watching a virgin talk about bags of sand
>>98146028IRL
>>98146303Don't link my post if you aren't going to say anything relevant to it.
>>98145664I am personally convinced that the only people who give a shit about safety tools are nogames or those who cycle through groups so often they need to always vet the people in their table because every game is fucking session 1>be in the discord of a local RPG community>someone asks how they implement safety tools and what techniques they can do etc.>pretty much everyone, even the most stereotypical blue haired pozloaded troon who I know plays games and have played games with answers that they either don't use it, don't feel the need to use it, or don't like using it
>>98145664Alright anon, only down and nasty baby making sex and raging ryona rape it is
>>98145664There are only two things that make anything fun and entertainingHeroism and romanceThe latter is awkward to do your with bros, so TTRPGs are limited to the former.
I talk about taboos before the campaign starts, but I'm not using ritualised concepts borrowed from BDSM community.
>>98145664X cards are only good for public games full of strangers, not people you know well
X card? Nah I use the DMX card. Fuck waiting for you to get it on your own, X gonna deliver it to ya.
>>98146435So weird how accusations of "culture warriors" only ever comes up when people start rightfully mocking actual nogaems behavior (i.e. the r/rpg losers waddle over to dump their trauma on our board).
>>98145664I never got the point of theseCan't you just tell the GM to quit fapping at the table?
>>98145664>on my X Card.Fake theater kid nogames doesn't even know you don't write anything on the X-Card.
>>98145751Kek
>>98145927Yes>>98147354
>>98146003No you can't.
>>98147875Rare OG post
>safety toolsWhat part of playing TTRPGs is dangerous?
>>98146141It would be funny stand next to you and whisper in your ear, reciting all the sultry acts your mother committed last night. No X card. You can use a XXX card instead.
>>98146650>I think the people who use X cards are playing with strangers at a convention or otherwisewow, what a brilliant insight, truly astounded by your wisdom
>>98148872The IRL satanic ritual sacrifice of kids, or the IRL genocide of gays, depends on the decade you're asking.
>>98145664Well, rape is not romantic, right?
I know it's pride month, but no one is gay enough for x-cards.
>>98145799>Falling for bait this obvious and bad
>>98148915It's fine that you don't have an argument, but you don't have to feel compelled to respond anyway.
>>98148930>they're dangerous because of things that never happenedk
This is the first time I have ever heard of an X-card, in 30 years of GMing. Good idea, if you're playing with strangers.
>>98150313What do you mean "never happened"? I imagined they did so it's real.
>>98145664I'm not quite sure this warrants an X card, since any romance would require you as a player to opt-in. Just don't do anything romantic with anyone.
>>98145664X Cards make sense if you look at them from the perspective of a terminally online mentally ill troon. They don't know how to resolve an argument other than magically making the other person stop talking, and places like discord and xitter have this really handy tool called the block button that lets them do just that. This is just the irl version of it.
>>98148872If you keep dicking around and putting shit my abusive parents did to me in our game I'm going to shove you under the broiler (what brits would call a grill)
>>98145664I have literally never seen anyone use this, not even danger hair sjw types.
>>98152750It's exclusively a thing for /pol/fags to seethe about.
>>98152287The outrage over X-cards, which I have never seen in play and seem incredibly rare, mimics the outrage over combat wheelchairs, which I have never seen in play and seem incredibly rare.I'm not sure these people are able to get angry about things that matter.
>>98152770Isn't that the point? Make culture war, not class war.That way, no matter the outcome, piggie stays on top.
>>98152776I suppose it's always possible the /pol/fags are all paid shills, that would explain why they act like this.
>>98152750Honestly, I'm just mildly confused at the concept, if only because the kind of table that cares enough about policing its content and making sure none of its players ever get the ickies would already know not to include the stuff that made them uncomfortable, while the kind of GM making content that an x-card is supposed to prevent probably would see someone tap the card and utterly blow them off. Like, maybe if it were a convention and they literally didn't have the time to talk about it, I guess? Or just like an assurance sort of thing?
>>98145664Same op.I don’t like being reminded that I’m too autistic for romance in ttrpg sessions.
