@Jenn My preference (though not an RP killer for me) is that entering a scene be a soft lock for your character sheet. Basically, for the duration of the scene you don’t mechanically change as a character, outside of stuff like taking damage from a fight or spending points that are meant to be spent on actions or whatever (like Willpower in WoD or Conviction in Blue Rose).
I think this whole “when can you spend XP” thing is ultimate a fringe thing that is up to personal preference, and usually something that isn’t dealbreaking for whether or not a particular person would join a game.

In some ways, letting people suddenly up their skills mid-scene is a bit like quantum equipment in the OSR, where characters just buy generic “adventuring gear” then when they need something, one unit of gear becomes the specific item they need. Or the ability to do research and save the “knowledge” to answer a question in the future: https://todistantlands.blogspot.com/2016/01/books.html . It’s basically quantum skills.

Bold of you to assume I didnt comb the equipment list and track individual bars of soap or what kind of fabric my gloves are made of.

@Jennkryst I didn’t say you couldn’t, only that some systems use that mechanic and in some of those it’s only an optional mechanic.

I’m very sure this has been posted here before, but it has come up again in my RP life and it continues to frustrate me.
If someone is setting a scene for you, YOU then need to engage THEM. Don’t pose yourself doing your own thing and make them basically set twice. DEFINITELY don’t pose AVOIDING them and make them chase you.
It’s obnoxious.

MANNERS, PPL! ETIQUETTE! AAAAA

Three person scenes can be fun or it can be awful because they ignore you and just pose at each other.

@Superbia That’s a “Y’all are going on The List,” kinda situation. :v

then even if I DON’T have a rule explicitly against it, it should largely be fine to say: ‘no, bad player, no biscuit’.
While naturally you can do basically whatever you like on your game, perhaps the first instance should be a “oh I should make this a policy from now on” moment instead of an instant boot.
Sure. Where did I imply it should come with a boot, instant or otherwise?

I always ask people ‘do you want to set or you want me to set?’
So when they tell me to set, and I do, then they do their OWN set…

@catzilla
They need to know your set first so they can decide the best way to ignore it. Duh.But yes. Enraging.
