How shevek1312 creates a safe table

💅 Table Culture 💅 The community we've cultivated over the past several years has found themselves nestled in with fiction-forward, collaborative, RAWish style games. A risky choice with help from a friend for the things there aren't always rules for always feels like it leads to unexpected greatness. We often find ourselves using the good bones of a module while still having space to flex into unique stories. I'm just here to play as the world while you all connect the dots of your stories. Content + Safety Utilizing safety tools helps cultivate a positive and inclusive gaming space. Helping our partymates be awesome dovetails nicely here. We will utilize a checklist based on the TTRPG Safety Toolkit (Lines + Veils), open door policy, and stars + wishes. Non-featured content: harm to children or domestic creatures, explicit sexuality, sexual assault, systemic racism, homophobia, or transphobia. Allegories of racial prejudice + bioessentialism have been cut from official settings. ✋Zero tolerance policy for harassment or discrimination based on race, creed, color, gender, sexual orientation, or experience level. Please don't attend sessions under the influence of any substance to a noticeable degree. GM reserves the right to remove you from session if this becomes the case. GM reserves the right to remove a player immediately if violating any of these ground rules. 📏I run primarily Rules as Written (RAW), but I'm happy to ask 'what serves the story in this moment?'
