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

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.

Spelljammer: Light of Xaryxis

DND Beyond published Writer/Designer (check out MCDM's Flee, Mortals! and Where Evil Lives), bachelor's in Communication Studies with a focus on small group communication from the University of Washington, and over a decade running tabletop RPGs.

I'm a narrative-heavy GM with deep rules knowledge, and a healthy understanding of when to bend them! My favorite things are to stir what my players give me into the main story of the campaign, and those wild moments where the whole table smiles wide. I've a strong knowledgebase of the rules, but I'm also flexible and adaptable, able to roll with any punch you throw at me—there's no rails where we're going! 

With over a decade of experience running TTRPGs, I've game mastered for live actual play shows for years now. I've played heavy tactical, to soap opera, to comedic romps, to deep character exploration. Every game of every style deserves a fun narrative through line to underscore the game.

My favorite games to run are D&D 5e, Fabula Ultima, Blades in the Dark, and Quest, but I'm also a rules-text devourer. I love to learn new systems and introduce them to my groups. As a freelance writer and rules editor who focuses on player-facing options and monster design, I can make your wild homebrew character concept a reality!

Stemming from my communication degree, safety is the foundation of every one of my games. I highly prioritize open lines of communication and want us all to have a great time playing a game that's fun for everyone at the table.
