Shouldn’t we make the rumors section visible to only you, Rin? lol, yeah, probably. One or two did, actually.

The NTR Knight Posted March 23, 2023 Clone Share Posted March 23, 2023 Welp, gonna edit that when I get home. Mobile hard. At least I only have my character’s rumors memorized. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably makes more sense to do it after player selection is finalized, but it's something I'm curious about. I'm probably going to sound like a newb...but what do you mean by lines and veils?

tbgg Posted March 23, 2023 Clone Share Posted March 23, 2023 @Glyph It's not a bad thing at all to sound like a newb. I'm still somewhat new to D&D myself, so periodically have newb-type questions as well. I'm new to Baldr, as well, and I find the gaming communities here on MW are pretty good about answering newb-type questions. Lines and veils have to do with things that might make a player feel uncomfortable, or be under some kind of emotional load after a gaming session. Their purpose is to help players have a safe and enjoyable experience. Lines would be things you don't want to see at all in the game - it's the idea of drawing a line and that line doesn't get crossed. Sexual violence and abuse of children are things you'll commonly see as lines, but I've also seen animal abuse as a line. Veils, on the other hand, are things that might be implied but then followed by a fade to black type effect, or else are handled away from the main gaming thread, or behind a veil, so to speak. Sex scenes, for instance, are commonly veiled (and in the case of myth-weavers, I think they are actually required to be as a condition of using the site). But I've seen certain types of extreme violence also be veiled. A lot of it is a matter of knowing if there are things that would upset you or make you feel uncomfortable. Hope that helps!

Yeah it does help! I assume what the "line" was...like crossing a line. But was unsure about the veil.

tyrtaeus Posted March 24, 2023 Clone Share Posted March 24, 2023 I'm glad you asked, cause I wasn't sure what veils were either. I figured it was something similar, bit it's nice to have confirmation! Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to look it up myself. I'm an old school gamer, so this is something new. I had heard of X-cards and Safety Tools, but this was a new way to me of saying it.

Kamishiro_Rin Posted March 24, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted March 24, 2023 As was pointed out by @Peacemonger, some "lines" are actually M-W ToS violations, so don't do them regardless of how gung-ho the group is about it. And if you do do them, it's no longer in my purview, it's in the hands of the admins. None of you seems like you'd do that, anyway.

astronavigatrix Posted March 24, 2023 Clone Share Posted March 24, 2023 Oof, got taken out hard by a migraine and wasn't able to post more to the IC thread but good luck to everyone, and it was nice doing what little writing I managed with y'all.

tbgg Posted March 24, 2023 Clone Share Posted March 24, 2023 @astronavigatrix Sorry to hear about your migraine and hope it's a lot better if not completely over by now. I would have definitely enjoyed getting to know Lisette a bit better! I had a lot of fun doing this pre-game. Best of luck to you, too!

Glyph Posted March 24, 2023 Clone Share Posted March 24, 2023 Good luck to everyone!

tbgg Posted March 25, 2023 Clone Share Posted March 25, 2023 @Glyph Thanks, Glyph! I am sorry you didn't get to finish your application, too - I'd have loved to have seen Tabitha in action! I "lurk" (read games I'm not a player in) not only on this site, but on a few others as well, and I've never had anyone have a problem with it, so unless Rin has a problem with it, I don't see why you couldn't. If I'm not selected, I might actually do the same thing myself. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
