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.

Woke game designer insists that even if you are playing an RPG completely alone, you must use safety tools?! This is just hilarious.

To be fair, some people do need to be kept safe from themselves lol. Thats what asylums were for.

Given what I've seen, I suppose more than the expected number of actual customers of this game would probably need to be protected from themselves.

Funny thing is, even most BDSM people rely on normal human conversation -- not safewords, etc. -- to communicate limits. The only time something else is really needed even in that context is (1) if a person is physically gagged they, need a non-verbal signal or (2) they want to be able to say "no" and "stop" and not mean it, in which case they need an alternate word that does mean it.

Anyone who needs these tools without a physical limitation to communication is mentally gagged.

Anyone who uses them alone is surely schizophrenic.
Old School? Back in my day we just called it "School."

Looking at "Star Trek Adventures: Captain's Log" (the solo 2d20 game from Modiphius), there actually is a section on "Safety"... although, in this case, it's mostly aimed at those who try to use the rules to play a group-based game rather than a solo session.

It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.

How is tentacle labyrinth supposed to be any fun with safety rules?

Ah, yes.  When I spend a romantic evening home alone pleasuring myself -- candles, scented Kleenex, the whole bit -- I'm careful to use safety words with myself to avoid hazards like a wrenched back, stained or broken furniture, short-circuited electronic devices, inserted-beyond-retrieval items, etc.  Don't really see how that would transfer to solo gaming, though.
I know how the illegals feel. I'm an alcoholic & they keep setting up these random DUI checkpoints. You have no idea what a chilling effect this has had on the alcoholic community. I know people who are too terrified to even drink & drive anymore. I am literally shaking... mostly in my hands...

To be completely honest, some of the types of people who follow the orcs are racist/safety tools are a must ideology look like cutters so they might actually need them in solo games.

Greetings!

Geekgamers does a great program about Sologaming for RPG's.

As far as the pathetic freaks go, well, everyone should stop coddling them. Stop listening to them, or taking them seriously. Laugh at them. Mock them relentlessly. GATEKEEP them out of the hobby as much as you can, at every opportunity.

But the masturbation session can't be good without at least one overdriven to short circuit sexual health device! That's how you learn to repair electronics!

I almost died checking the wiring for a new 240 volt plug for a friend and the moment I touched the dryer vent, the entire thing disintegrated in front of me. Two hands on that machine and I likely would be dead. Apparently they use the machine itself as a ground, so when the wiring is wrong the entire machine can become live. I still got a zap, but nothing that did any noticeable damage. Honestly I've felt better than ever, but then I really cannot endorse electrocution outside of a doctor recommended setting (e.g. electroconvulsive therapy).

When I'm playing solo, I wind up harassing myself. I could probably use some safety tools.
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.
