Gritty, low magic, character death, in game racism… are you sure they first game isn’t the old war hammer pen and paper tabletop?

safety tools: oh-oh the dragon slipped and impaled itself on your spear which you did not know was actually +10 and guaranteed critical against dragons

Ten bucks says the first group hasn’t had a single character die in the whole campaign, and the second group is all on their second characters due to the Sybian Incident

I want the first one but with high magic. Do you know how compelling the story can be when you’re fighting racist oppressors who have access to ‘Wish’?

In formal English, the comma is just wrong. Informally, I agree it does a very effective job of making the message get across that way.

What are safety tools?

basically a safe word system for TTRPGs, LARPs, etc.

in my experience they’re useful for large and/or public groups but if you have to use them with small groups of familiar people you’re probably just not a good match for each other TTRPG wise

Dragon OSHA is on their way, now.

OSHA 1910.132(d)(1)(ii) mandates that safety tools needs to be clearly communicated to each affected employee.

sir, a second wish has hit the hightower

Methods like the X card or „lines and veiles“, that you can use to define with what you are comfortable or not and to stop in-game if needed.

I run gritty low magic games with death and safety tools. Which group do I join!?

“I wish for all wishes made after this one to fail spectacularly”

I honestly thought it was about PPE.

safety glasses only recommenced if you have REALLY enthusiastic dice rollers

I wish Ted would just bring a dice tower, instead of that damn dice mortar!

Wouldn’t it be intragroup if your party are all banging?

I’ve used lines and veils before but that was because it was my first time running for those players and wasn’t very familiar with what is or is not ok for them

Both of what are valid?

Thank you.
