Player well-being is more important than the larp and any player may opt out of any scene or the larp at any time. Individual hard limits will be shared and clear for all players before the larp commences but no point should any player feel forced, coerced, or guilted into any activity they do not wish to take part in at that time and with that person. Participation in this larp comes with no obligation to do anything with anyone.
All players are responsible for treating themselves and each other with respect. Play should be escalated slowly and vocally to allow others to opt out. Players are expected not only to respect the expressed boundaries of others but also to determine, re-assess, and express their own boundaries as needed and make use of safety mechanics. Any player who disregards expressed boundaries and/or engages with other players against their wishes will be removed from the larp and further action taken depending on the severity of the infraction.
An off-game safe room and designated safety person will be available for the duration of the event. Organizers will also be available throughout the larp and after should players need further support.

This is a full-immersion larp with no upper limit on intimacy. Simulation mechanics will be demonstrated and practiced during pre-game workshops and may be used during the larp as desired.

While a jealous argument may break out between characters, physical fighting and violence are not a part of this larp; sexual violence, acted or simulated, is strictly forbidden and not a part of this larp or any character histories.

To ensure player safety, alcohol will not be served during the larp. Players may bring their own alcohol to consume and are strongly advised not to over-imbibe. If a player is found to be not in control of themselves due to alcohol, they will be removed from play. If a player has concerns about the sobriety of another player, they should inform an organizer. Other recreational substances are strictly forbidden.

There will be no photographer on-site and players may not openly carry or use a mobile device with built-in camera in game spaces. Players may take photos pre- and post-game in a designated space.

Content warnings: nudity, sexual activity, jealousy, and infidelity.

Signals and Safewords

In addition to simulation techniques which will be demonstrated in the pre-game workshops, there are several safety mechanics for all players to use:

Rule of Feet
Walking away either to leave the scene into an off-game space or to leave a conversation but stay in-game.

“Double-tap”*
Hand signal: tap your hand twice somewhere obvious and non-intimate on your own or someone else’s body
To indicate the scene should be immediately de-escalated.

Check in*
Hand signal: ok (a circle with the index finger and thumb)
To check in with another player’s comfort level. Responding with anything other than a firm thumbs up indicates another player is not ok and play must be paused to check in.

Out of game
Hand signal: shade your eyes with one hand and look down
To indicate you are out of game and should not be engaged with.

“Emergency stop”
Used in case of an emergency or dangerous situation (e.g. medical emergency, fire) to stop the scene completely until it can be handled by the organizers. All players must stop what they are doing, get to safety immediately, and find an organizer.

*If for some reason a player will be unable to use either the safewords or a hand signal in a given situation, the players involved must calibrate in advance to agree on an alternative prior to beginning the scene.
