Thoughts and opinions time!

The Damsel in Distress trope in tabletop gaming. What are your thoughts on it? Have you played a damsel in distress? Why or why not? How did you make that compelling or can you?

Hey Gauntleteers! How are you feeling about Green Ronin’s talent search for women writers for their newest line, Tales of the Lost Citadel?

For clarity:

Gamers! I need your thoughts:

Silence at the table.

Why do you quiet at table? What are times you’ve seen silence at the table? What do you think it means? When have you been wrong? And when have you used silence to avoid communicating discomfort?

Gauntleteers! Do you play lone wolf characters? Why or why not? What do you get out of playing them? Is it an intentional choice? Tell me about your lone wolves!

Thanks everyone for participating in the Alpha Male conversation. I’m starting a new monthly piece as part of my 4 articles a month blog called Breaking Down Tropes. This is my first one!

Here’s the Alpha Male, why we should play him, and how he gives us opportunities to break down bullshit male gender roles.

Hey Gauntleteers!

Tell me about your experience in RPGs with Alpha Male characters. Playing them, hating them, being them, being hurt by them. I wanna hear it and how it made you feel. It can be in character or out of character.

Hey friends!

I’m thinking of doing a once a month “Playtest Spotlight” on my blog.

That would change the layout a little to be:

2 articles

1 Game review

1 Playtest review

Thoughts?

Hey Gauntleteers!

A day or so ago I asked you lovely folks about your thoughts on rape in RPGs. I asked this question in a few places on social media and had some deep conversations about it. The results? A blog post!

Content Warning: The article deals with rape, rape culture, abuse, and has pictures of pop culture references to rape.

Hey Loves!

Question: What makes you feel validated at the game table? What makes you feel invalidated at the game table?

Gamers! I’m working on a new blog post and have some tough questions for you.

What are your thoughts on rape in rpgs? Is there a way to navigate it safely, to include it as story if someone (not just gross gamers) want to include it as something to deal with, and how should it look if it’s included?
