After the game ends, check-in with the group and talk about how you all feel. Have an open way for the group to decompress and encourage each other to practice self-care.

Aftercare

Intense games can cause feelings to bleed over into life outside of the game. Being open and honest of where the game ends, what feelings are the players versus bleed, and having discussions can lessen the stress of bleed.

Bleed

For long games or stressful content, having built-in breaks allows the group to stay focused and process content. This time can be used for bio breaks, conversation, or any other necessities.

Breaks

Debriefing is a way to reflect on the game. Identify possible issues, highlight the good parts, and work through potential emotional bleed.

Debriefing

Lines and Veils set the boundaries of the games. Lines are hard limits for content the group doesn't want to participate in, this means that content will not be in game, referenced in game, or alluded to. Veils are soft limits, meaning that when the content arises it might be mentioned, but not described, or it could mean that when the content shows up, it results in a “fade-to-black”.

Lines and Veils

This checklist is used to set expectations and content boundaries before the game starts, and allows players to select from multiple existing triggers, or add their own.

Monte Cook RPG Consent Checklist

Open-Door is an assurance that anyone in the group can take a break from the game for their own safety and well-being without judgement. This should be made clear to the group.

Open Door

Session 0s are used to start the game, opening up with communication, setting expectations, and discussing any safety tools that will be used at the table.

Session 0

Stars and Wishes are used to reflect and discuss feedback in a positive way. Stars are used for things that participants enjoyed in the game. Wishes are things that participants would like to see in the future. Both players and the GM can express their stars and wishes to make the game better.

Stars and Wishes

X, N, and O Cards are check-in tools. X-Cards are used to indicate that a participant is uncomfortable with the current content, often resulting in a change, rewind, or skip of the aforementioned content. N-Cards can be used by participants if they feel content is heading towards an X card, often resulting in a change or a “fade to back”. O-Cards are used to check-in on the group and ensure that everyone is comfortable continuing with the content.

Greetings! I've been playing TTRPGs for over 30 years and I love bringing new players into our hobby. I've been running D&D 5e campaigns both in-person and online for about 6 years, with a good mix of veteran and brand new players. I will work with you on your character and backstory and thread it into my campaign. Over the course of the campaign, we'll work together to develop your character's personal arc within the boundaries of the game world. You can look forward to a persistent game world where the NPCs continue their lives when you are not around and your choices and decisions affect the world around you. Before session 0, you'll be provided with the primer and social contract, as well as a "Player Survey" which will ask you about your playstyle preferences so I can get the proper mix of the three pillars (combat, exploration, social interaction) for the party.
I have several campaign packages available for scheduling:

Private Party Campaign: Do you have a group of friends that love to play, but no one has the time to organize and run a campaign? Book me and I will run a WOTC published campaign for you, start to finish. One shots are also available. For Intermediate to Experienced Players.

Learn to Play Campaign: Are you and/or your friends interested in learning how to play D&D, but don’t know where to start? In Learn to Play, I will walk you through all aspects of the game from Session 0 and character creation to game mechanics and roleplaying. I will help you make decisions, understand your character, and how to interact with the game world. We will play through one of the two Dungeons and Dragons starter campaigns: Lost Mines of Phandelver, if we have a group of 4 or more players or Dragon of Icespire Peak for 3 or less players. For Beginner Players.

Junior Adventurers: Do you have potential adventurers on the younger side that want to  play D&D but you don’t know where to get them into a game that would be appropriate for them? With either Learn to Play or Private Party, I will run a family friendly game appropriate for kids ages 10+ and their friends or parents/family members. Any Experience Level.

Each campaign will be accompanied by a one-page primer with a summary of the game world, character creation rules, any class or race restrictions, and connected character backgrounds. A separate one page social contract will also be provided detailing lines and veils, unacceptable behaviors, and player and DM expectations.

Most of my campaigns will contain mature language and themes, however I am flexible and can accommodate much younger players (one of my favorite games is with my 8 year old nephew whom I taught to play). 

I use Foundry VTT with Discord for Audio/Video and in and out of character chats and notes, and DNDBeyond for all character creation. I currently own all content available in DNDBeyond and I am open to 3rd party publisher content on a by-campaign basis. 

Requirements: internet connected device and microphone, camera preferred but not required, DNDBeyond account (free), Discord account (free).
