I need all the small things that make it Federation, even if the serial numbers have been filed off.

Original series, Next Generation, DS-9, The Janeway Show featuring Tom Paris, Quantum Trek, novels, webcomics, anything goes... Except Abrams!

A Gm looking for advice

No.43374843 ViewReplyReportDelete
Hello tg. I am a relatively new gm with a problem at my table (or my roll20 data space).

So here we go.
>I play with a group with a party a party of 4. I am running a low level game focused mostly on survival (for the moment) and rp. Two of my players really enjoy this style of game and have been very excited to be involved in it. One of my players is new to the group and doesn't have an opinion on it (he's only been in one session). But my other player seems like he hates it. He spends each session totally disengaged, he clearly prefers to play a high fantasy struggle for the fate of the world rather than doing mundane tasks like fighting over food. He also doesn't get involved much in RP (in any campaign) unless it's treating him like he's the most important member of the party so he doesn't enjoy interacting with characters in the world to search for a reason to help them (or even to come up with a reason to dislike them).

So how can I try to include him more without sacrificing this style of game? As I said two of my players like it so I don't want to run against that idea.

If it gives you any ideas the setting is the middle of desert during a famine. His character is a samurai gillman (pathfinder) which I allowed to have a hell hound for a mount because he really wanted it. And before you ask, he was aware it was going to be in a desert before he picked gillman.

Please don't suggest that I kick him out, he's a good friend of mine and if I kick him it will be almost impossible to find another player.

I really enjoy this kind of head design, and I saw it multiple times. This half-circle plate instead of a face, I noticed it is a recurring theme, but from the top of my head I can remember only two.
I want to know maybe there is a reference to it? Like creature from ancient myths or something?

GM with an Agenda?

No.43354204 ViewReplyLast 50ReportDelete
I try to keep politics and escapism separate, so I've been hesitant to join up with my college gaming group because college is a minefield of people who like to conflate their hobbies with their agendas and politicize everything. I recently joined up with a group because that's the only way I could get a game on campus, and it was pretty clear that the group is composed of pretty left-leaning individuals (I'm 99 percent sure one of them is trans) but mostly they seem to be the kind of milquetoast, college-aged liberals who are maybe a bit too passionate about social issues and not like, radical leftists or anything like that.

I am kind of tentatively nervous though because we met a gay NPC pretty early into the campaign and the GM went out of his way to clarify that that's no big deal in the setting. We were at some kind of ball for noblemen and one of the princes had a male lover and the GM made sure that the first person I questioned about that gave a casual "so long as he still plans to provide sons for the king I see no issue with it" and we carried on with the night. The gay prince wasn't even important to the session (we spent most of the night discussing trade agreements and escorting a merchant which was fine since I signed on for a political campaign anyway) but on the other hand I have been wondering what the point of bringing it up was if it wasn't important

I dunno I hear a lot of horror storries about SJW in gaming spaces and I don't know if I should take this as a warning sign? Am I being paranoid?
