Safety Tools for Secrets of Arkham

Pause for a Second Since we are playiing online using audio only I cannot see if you are feeling uncomfortable with a situation. If a moment arrises where you need me to stop a situation, please say or message me "Pause for a second".   I will stop the session and we can shift gears if needed.   While this is a horror game, this is supposed to be fun. If things are getting too intense for you - that isn't fun. So it is perfectly reasonable and beneificial that we pause. I have no problem making changes so that we all have fun.   To avoid anything that may cause discomfort, please review the Lines and Veils below. If you would like anything veiled or hard lined, message me and I will make the changes.   Lines and Veils
  • Hard Line - I will avoid this topic for this campaign
  • Veil - This topic may be alluded to or pop up during the game, but will not be directly described or engaged with (fade to black).
  • n/a - This topic may occur during the campain. I will take no special precautions with it.
  Because this is a horror game I will be letting up on some of the topics. There might be some R rated descriptions of gore and mutilation. I will try to not get too graphic, and focus more on building dread and horror. Expect some graphic moments here and there. I do want the game to be fun. So if there is anything you want me to specifically avoid - please message me or mention it during session 0. I will make sure we don't hit on that.   For example: Since this is a real world historical setting I will be toning down the overt racism that was typical of the time. The horrors here are of the supernatural variety, and I don't think I could tackle a weighty subject like the horrible racism of the 1920s. None of the scenarios have this as an element in them, so it will not come up as far as I can see.   Real world religions do have a place in the game, espcially character creation. While they play a part in the setting, I won't be focusing much on them. When it comes to bizarre cults to nameless horrors - yes then I will get descriptive.   Mental Domination is an element baked right into the game mechanics. There are creatures and conditions that can cause a player to lose control of her character. This is an aspect of horror. None of the scenarios feature this aspect heavily - but the sanity mechanic can trigger this to occur. I will do my best to make these situations interesting and engaging for everyone. I suggest treating it like an opportunity to roleplay your character in a unique way. Please reach out to me directly if you have a concern about this aspect of the game.
