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
