Blaarararrarararrarag a player and the keeper at my regular Call of Cthulhu game are arguing and it's. Just. I hope they'll both be adults and talk it out and reach a compromise bc I really like this group and wanna continue playing with them.
But also the two dudes in question are cis white dudes.
And the thing that kinda freaks me out was that this argument followed the pattern of ribbing previously established until Something Shifted it into Serious Territory (which admittedly I'm very bad at picking up on) and the player left the table.
And like. This felt like it was outta nowhere to me. But 1) I'm very bad at telling when joking around becomes serious and 2) there's probably a lotta context that I'm missing with either how they play, how they argue, and what they personally have going on.

1. I completely understand the context, but the phrase "regular" CoC game feels like an oxymoron.
2. It's not your fight, but it seems like it has become your problem unfortunately. Maybe they would be open to the idea of letting others let them know when things seem to be crossing the line from the perspective of players outside of their personal interactions. People can sometimes get lost in the moment a bit, but good-natured folks rarely want to make other players openly uncomfortable just to win an argument. What is the equivalent to X, N, and O cards for interpersonal interactions?
