How to Use Safety Tools
During Play
- X-Card: Tap the table, say “X”, or use the signal your table agreed on
- No explanation required: You don’t need to say why
- Scene adjustment: The GM will either edit the scene, skip ahead, or take a break
- No judgment: Using safety tools is always the right call
Between Sessions
- Check-ins: Brief discussion at session start about comfort levels
- Private feedback: Message the GM if something bothered you
- Adjustments: Lines and veils can be added at any time
Content Warnings
The GM will provide advance warning for:
- Major character death or permanent harm
- Topics adjacent to the veils list
- Significant tone shifts (horror elements, etc.)
Remember
- These tools exist to keep the game fun for everyone
- Using them shows trust, not weakness
- A good session is one where everyone feels comfortable
