Sensitive topics, adult content (violence), and Emotional Wellbeing

Hello everyone.

If you are not aware, the bar scene on Day 4 has elevated to some serious emotionally distressing work. I would like to at this time offer a free "opt out" to anyone who may be feeling distressed by the themes being presented. I am more than willing and happy to talk with you about the scene in private and offer emotional support.

Throughout this campaign, the game and setting touch on many real world things that may be triggers for emotional pain for you, or reminders of things that can cause problems. Going forward in the campaign, before we begin the first official day, we will have a "Hard Line" thread, where each player is able to place their hard lines that they do not wish to participate in or observe, which will then be respected by all posters who have threads with said person.

If something hits you harder than you expected and is NOT in your hard lines, please make a post in the thread with the following statement:

"This scene has progressed in a way I am no longer comfortable with"

And the scene will stop no questions asked. The GM will then contact you and find a way to allow the scene to proceed in a matter you are comfortable with.

Thank you!

You may also want to allow a PM to you to same effect. Fostering a space where someone feels comfortable ending a scene in front of everyone can take a bit.

Also, kudos for a way to incorporate some tabletop safety tools that can be tough to implement in PbP

Absolutely, if it is uncomfortable to post your "X card" in the thread, feel free to PM the GM and they will handle it!

Safe words or similar protocols like this are always a good idea
