## Highlights
> When running any tabletop roleplaying game, safety tools—such as Lines & Veils (developed by Ron Edwards),
> the X-Card (developed by John Stavropoulos), and Stars & Wishes (developed by Lu Quade)—are essential. ([View Highlight](https://read.readwise.io/read/01fte6xy4a0f08m8jqdn4r7mq6))
> As the drow spider goddess’ chosen, driders exist as some-
> what of a paradox. When a drow is particularly devout
> and powerful in matters magical or mundane, they are
> summoned by their goddess to face great tests of strength
> and faith. Those who succeed are granted boons beyond
> mortal comprehension. Those who fail are turned into a
> drider, an image of the spider goddess herself and more
> powerful than the average drow, yet reviled as monsters
> by all. A drider is a living representation of divine disap-
> pointment, and drow tend to steer clear in case the god-
> dess’ ire is contagious. ([View Highlight](https://read.readwise.io/read/01fte6z3jz9wgfxa72sbkeypv7))
