“Thank you so much for this episode!
I’m sure a lot of us have had experiences that have been sub- optimal and we did not have a mechanism for putting a halt to it- and as an older player, I remember a time when trying to express that would have been anathema. I’m so glad it’s not anymore.
We all have the right to feel safe and no one has a pass to make us feel unsafe(if we don’t agree to them doing so)
I would like to point out another great effect of each of us Learning where the lines are and that it’s okay for us to change how an interaction is going-
And if we learn to be confident using those skills in an environment with friends- it’s great practice for other conversations in life.
I would have LOVED to have had access to things like an X card as a young gamer, to show me it’s okay and RIGHT to stop some conversations, in games an real life. I had to learn that bravery on my own and it was a lot harder without the tools.
Another thing I’d like to Yes, And about your episode is-
Sometimes when we say “X” then it turns out that one or all of the *other* participants were uncomfortable, too!
Humans are subject to peer pressure and may join in to interactions in ways they wouldn’t, in ways they don’t even LIKE, because those around them are doing it.
Sometimes whole groups can descend into behavior none of them want to be involved in, but they don’t want to stand up and say “how about no.” This isn’t a judgement- we all get carried away sometimes. RPG can be an emotional experience. So many of us have grown up told not to say no, and maybe the other people in your group are struggling with the same “ick” that you are, but are also nervous to say no.
Taking a minute to find the groups’ bearings never hurt anyone.
So thank you guys for covering this important topic!
You are breaking ground with the first “guide for players” podcast- and you are breaking the right ground.”

“Character Creation Cast is a great way to explore character creation in new systems, but the Evolution Cast episodes offer so many tools that can help enrich the campaigns you play in, or run. Josh and Amelia are funny, engaging hosts who clearly care a LOT about roleplaying games. The audio...”Read full review »

“Hosts are so wholesome and have great chemistry together. I love their enthusiasm for the games their guests talk about. Listens like a friend podcast for TTRPG nerds.
Ps. The Christmas one is my favorite by far”
