View Full Version : Halt! Player Safety Extension / X-Card

There has been some recent discussion about how players can signal that the game may have taken a turn into topics or descriptions that are making them uncomfortable. This simple extension adds 2 small icons at the top of the chat window like this:
https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=32036

When double clicked (I have set it to double click to avoid accidental usage) it will output a message to chat like this:
https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=32037

At that point the GM and Players should evaluate the current scene and accept that someone is out of their comfort level and rework the story.

The message is anonymous and not tracked in any way.

This extension (or similar) is something that you should consider using when running one shots at conventions or for a group of players you dont know quite well. You might also use this extension when introducing a new player to an existing group.

Great idea to make the message anonymous :)

Damned, thank you so much for the contribution. With your permission, I'm going to translate the extension into Spanish and use it in my games. In Spain we call it X-Cards.

This looks great!

Like CthhulhuRol mentioned, you may want to consider naming this "X-Card", as that's a well known safety tool in the RPG community.

I appended X Card to the title. I havent called it X Card as the mechanic is similar but not 100% the same.

Great, that should do the trick, so users searching for "fantasy grounds x-card extension" will easily find this.

There is another extension by Mattekure also. Different approach to the same - https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?54029-TTRPG-Safety-Toolkit-Extension

Hi. I'm new to FG and bought Unity; will this work with it? I know the two are different but I don't know how different.

I'm hoping it will because I feel that tools like this are a valuable addition to a gaming table. Thank you for creating it.

Welcome BlueTressym

I havent tried it but I believe that it should work on Unity.

I think this is great! I would like to see this expanded to a few more things, actually:

- Can we take a break?
- Can we quit for the night?
- Can we move this along, this is taking too long

etc.

I could - i have an extension on DMsGuild that has about 25 emojis and a similar number of scene setting messages.
The advantage of that one is the GM can set a maximum number of uses a player can have before it limits them as some people just get trigger happy.
If they over use they get a message telling them they will need to ask their GM politely for more uses.

You are entitled to your opinion, but this is not a discussion for the forums or worth a discussion at all. Move along.

I find this necessary because I've played with some really diverse groups. Some people are okay with profanity and sexual role-play, and some aren't. Some are okay with graphic violence, and some aren't. Especially if you're with a new group, it can really help the GM to set some boundaries and a tone that's comfortable for people, especially when I have a group of players that work well together and I'd like to keep everybody happy.

Also, @Damned, I bought your extension. Thank you! I love it. Can't wait to try it out next Saturday!

Dont tell the players its there. Let them find it themselves. And only give them about 5 or 10 uses and let them get it out of their system.
They will settle down after that and then they use it when it adds something to the game.

Great job completely misunderstanding the purpose of things.

Just because you don't understand things doesn't mean there isn't a use.

Looks like this extension has stopped working recently. I have tried it with just that 1 extension.

Ahh it is related to the now button doubleclick disable by default.
Just need to add in the allowdoubleclick block to the button control.
I have done that myself, and confirmed it does work.

Apologies! removing post as thread updated dramatically from the thread found by searching the forum (which didn't originally show posts past 2020). will re read entire thread and if applicable repost, otherwise please ignore.

OK. got worried by moderator postings, re-read entire thread (for some reason all searches land me at pg1 and I didnt realize there were more posts more recent).

First the compliments:
The HALT! extension is my personal absolute MUST-HAVE one for safety tools, because it's simple and anonymous. The graphics are simple and don't require me to explain N/O/X or others to newer players and I like that its just there to be double clicked with results in the scroll of text /results... THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING THIS!

My questions that remain are: 1) is there a current release version that works with latest FGU since the break in past month or so, and 2) where can I get the latest working version?

...with the migration / banning of .ext between DMsGuild and the Forge I came up blank searching.

Thanks for the assist and all you do for the community!

Hey Damned!

Halt, I have the forge version up now (had the old extension, so got rid of that and then updated like a good little toad :) ). It load (and so does Player Agency, but kthe little stop/yeild signs are not to be found. I'm running off GURPS (which is running off the CORE). Not sure what's happening. I will investigate more (turn off all the other extensions and see if something is stopping the signs from showing.
Cheers!
Fezzik

Ok, something is messing with it; will get back to you (shows up when the only extensions are Player agency and Halt)

Ok, it's the All-in-One extension that seems to be the conflict. I informed that author as well. It places the modifier and dice tower at the top of the chat box which is maybe why it's a problem?

Anyway, Thank you for the extension and all your hard work!
