We are collaborating with the Women+ Virtual Gaming Con to share this virtual space.
**Safe Space rules for everyone:
No sexual harassment or sexual violence. No drugs (we eat our emotional pain so yes to pizza). No abusive behaviour, if we have teens in the group then we will keep it PG, this is not a pick-up group it’s a gaming group, if there is a conflict between players then the Dungeon Master/Story Teller/Organizer will arbitrate, if there is a conflict with the Dungeon Master/Story Teller, then the Organizer will arbitrate.
A Safe Space is a place where anyone can relax and be able to fully express, without fear of being made to feel uncomfortable, unwelcome, or unsafe on account of biological sex, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, cultural background, religious affiliation, age, or physical or mental ability. A place where the rules guard each person’s self-respect and dignity and strongly encourage everyone to respect others. Sound good? Right on, Right on.
