Table Etiquette for Our Role Playing Games

We love new players here and we will be happy to explain anything you don't understand.  You can ask all the questions you need and we'll walk you through it.

For Convention games, we also provide helpful game cards so you know what your spells, weapons and other advantages do for you mechanically.

First of all, players can signal that they are uncomfortable about something happening in the game by raising their yellow or red sticks.  Your GM will check in and see what you need in that moment.  Second, if there is a disagreement between players, the GM can moderate and help find a satisfying narrative solution.  Finally, if the disagreement is with how the GM is using mechanics or running the game, you can always offer your perspective after the game, but during play, the GM gets to make the final call.

Yes Please!  Nothing important should happen without food!

Some of our GM's are costumers, LARP players or dramatically inclined so you might see thematic costumes, stylish outfits or fancy hats at the table. Players are welcome to wear what makes them feel comfortable and confident.  We love to see you in your creations, so costumes are welcome but never required!

Be open to people and ways of life different from what you know.  Instead of asking, "Is this true?" consider asking yourself "How can this be true for this person.?"  You should also use the names and pronouns that have been shared with you and avoid disparaging comments, insults, put downs, or telling other players how to play.  

Listen actively so you can build on the ideas of others, share the spotlight so everyone has a chance to shine, and avoid personal attacks completely.  Everyone comes to the table with their own hopes and gifts and we strive to create a place where people can share in telling the story collaboratively.   Treating everyone with kindness and respect helps create an a safe and inclusive table.

Life happens, and not every game is a good fit for every player.  If something comes up or the game isn't working for you, let your GM know and go on your way with our sincere good will.

This depends on the type of event you are doing with us!  If you are attending a Con where we are hosting a one shot, characters and the scenario will already be provided.  If you are taking a workshop on learning how run a Collaborative Style game or create safe and inclusive gaming spaces, yes, bring all your creative ideas!
