How Euan Buddie creates a safe table
The game will be using Lines and Veils to ensure a comfortable experience for all players. This is done via a joined sheet which everyone is able to see, but it is completely anonymous. Session 0 will discuss; Code of Confuct, Game Mechanics, Character Creation, Campaign Context, and give oppertunity for questions. During the game, I'll be implementing an "X-Card", via a button that allows plays to pause gameplay if any content or moment becomes uncomfortable. 2 Hour long session (plus an extra half-hour for overrun), 5-10 minute break midway. Debreif at the end (included within time).
