Good thing only once a player used it the first session.

What are your thoughts on "x cards"?

You're going to have to explain, because I don't know what an "x card" is.

>What are your thoughts on things that never happened for 200?
Nothing, because it never happened.

What the hell are x-cards? Do they go into appropriate files? X-files?

A gaming convention invention where if a player does not like where a particular scene or situation is going, they can tap the x card and the GM is obligated to fade to black.
It's a fast way to indicate that whatever going on isn't cool with the player and to move on from it used at gaming cons.

Bait. This never happened. Or is it is, you need to beat the shit out of the SJW fagarelli that brought them up. But yeah, no-one except the most speshul tumblrina actually carries around "X cards" in their backpack.

Looked it up, it's a bitch out flag for when you're such a little bitch that you want to make everyone stop doing whatever they are doing but aren't willing to just fucking say so.

The idea being that when the DM or a player brings up something upsetting you hold up your X card and the DM is supposed to stop and rewrite it right away.

It's not completely useless, if a player asks you to use X cards you can kick them out immediately.

...

How much of a pleb you guys are? Every single rpg club in my college uses x cards and lines n veils.

It's a little index card with an X on it. If something in the game makes you uncomfortable for any reason, you can tap it and the GM is supposed to either move on or change the situation. You don't have to explain, and no one's allowed to ask questions. It's just as terrible as it sounds.
