The final structure will be selected collaboratively during Session Zero. Official Azeroth options will remain the center of the campaign. Material from the 2014 ruleset, legacy sources, expanded settings, or third-party publications will require DM approval. New players will receive help understanding their character sheet, translating character ideas into mechanics, and making confident decisions during play.

How Still creates a safe table

**Content and Player Safety** This campaign contains mature high-fantasy themes, including fantasy violence, blood, character death, dragon attacks, fire, destruction of communities, threats to civilians and families, grief, kidnapping, captivity, hostages, cults, fanaticism, dark rituals, sacrifice, coerced labor, political manipulation, and frightening supernatural creatures. Some scenes may involve implied torture, widespread loss, or the threat of mass casualties. **These subjects will not automatically be described graphically, and graphic violence involving children will not be included.** Before the campaign, every player will have an opportunity to submit boundaries privately through a consent checklist. During Session Zero, we will establish Lines that will not appear, Veils that will remain off-screen or lightly described, and the overall emotional intensity the group wants from the story. **This will remain a living conversation, and players may add or change a boundary at any time.** During play, we will use digital X, N, and O signals, private messages, regular breaks, and an Open Door policy. Anyone may pause a scene, request a change, or step away **without explaining personal reasons.** Safety concerns will be respected immediately and will never be debated at the table. This campaign welcomes emotional investment and vulnerable character storytelling, but vulnerability will always be invited rather than demanded. I will check in before using sensitive backstory material, protect private information, and remain available between sessions for confidential feedback. The goal is not to remove danger from the story; it is to ensure that we explore danger together within boundaries that allow every player to feel respected, supported, and eager to return.
