Hey everyone!
Can I just say that I am in awe of everyone’s having come to the sandbox I helped put together (with lots of help) and the sand palaces they have put together? Like, I can’t even begin to say how much I appreciate all of it as plot definitely isn’t my strong suit. This has been the easiest game I have ever run, by far. And we have a whole lot of exciting things coming, I promise.
I was talking to some people last night and in my excitement for upcoming plot, I didn’t take into account anything that might be triggering, especially without a fair amount of warning. I, as both a mod and a player, need to strike that fine balance of not wanting to spoil anything and taking into account how in-game actions might impact a person in real-life. RP is meant to be an escape and I don’t want that to take that away from anyone.
We haven’t billed this game as a dark one and I have no intention of turning it into one. However, there will be likely incidents of violence upcoming, but it’s my job as mod to know when to scale back. I would like to take a poll of all the players (comments are screened) as to where you’re comfortable treading and what subject matter is a hard line.
I’m borrowing Ginger’s brilliant traffic light system. If, in the comments you could let me know what’s green/yellow/red light for you, that would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know f you may need lead time for major upcoming plot events if something might be triggering.
Currently, as the game stands now we would not go above a Yellow, with the following definitions:
GREEN LIGHT: canon-typical violence against poachers/other bad actors, canon-typical violence to own PCs, injuries to creatures.
YELLOW LIGHT: Deadly violence against PCs or NPCs (including Unforgivables) even if it doesn't result in death; creature death.
RED LIGHT: Killing NPCs; sexual assault; violence above PG-13/R rating.
It’s entirely possible I didn’t explain this perfectly clear (I’m sort of doing this up on the fly) and just word vomiting at this point. I will be around later this afternoon/this evening to answer any questions. My goal is to make this game fun and enjoyable for everyone
