social contract bent but not broken

[KingstonC]

Hello Jessica! Welcome to the Forge!

I can't do that irl and it was really cool to be able to role-play a balls to the wall tough chick with my best friends.  Truly they've seen me through so much, and have been so loyal and good to me, that it felt really safe to me to explore that kind of reaction through someone else's eyes so to speak.

Actually, it was therapeutic to role-play both the awesome come-back lines and sometimes grotesque physical retribution in game, in a way I never could irl.

Speaking as a survivor and not just Kingston's friend, he handled it with caring and respect and I am grateful for the chance to heal some old wounds of my own in a safe if unorthodox way.

Wow. Thanks. I'm glad that the game group could be that kind of space for you.
