I swear to God, so much RPG discourse is, “We should write complex formal procedures for basic human interactions that everyone seems to manage just fine in every other social activity on Earth except this one for some reason.”
Okay, there has been enough confusion about this, I feel the need to clarify. I'm not talking about in-game character-to-character social resolution procedures. A lot of those are fine. I actually like those in some cases. I'm talking about stuff that formally manages how the real-world players interact to make sure everyone gets along and plays nice. Real kindergarten stuff.
