How Bells on Boots creates a safe table

Please see the community-guidelines thread on the discord. I will go over what too expect before starting the one shot and we can debrief afterwards as well. DM me before session any boundaries or specific things to avoid. I handle the X,N,O via private message, so if during the session you want to pivot a simple 'n' will do! And if it is too intense, a simple 'x' will do. Please also deafen yourself on discord or leave call and I will DM you once safe to rejoin and the scene has changed or stopped!
