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

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

With this technique, when triggering content comes into play, they can discuss with the group, take a break, and express their needs or wants for how play should continue. After the discussion ends, play should continue to account for the requests.

Luxton Technique

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.

I've been doing this for a long time(25+ years), and adore collaborative storytelling in various fanciful settings.  Never have stuck to just one system. I like to play them all, and run most. I'm here to share that love, tell memorable stories, and meet fellow enthusiasts to have as much fun as possible!  I collect TTRPGs, and have a myriad of systems at my disposal and always looking to get more when I can.  I'm a cast member/showrunner for Knights of the Smith Dinner Table.

Outside of TTRPGs, I'm a fan of trying new restaurants or recipes, spending time with my kids (teaching them the wonders of TTRPGs of course), hunting through used bookstores or thrift shops, and figuring out where the next 40 years are going to go.
