Family Friendly

The SRGA runs “family friendly” events and is inclusive of ALL. This convention’s goal is to create an open gaming community to celebrate and enjoy Dungeons and Dragons and other Role Play Games together. All participants must adhere to the Safe Space Rules and the Code of Conduct listed below.

Safe Space rules for everyone

No abusive behaviour. If there is a conflict between players then the Game Master will arbitrate, if there is a conflict with the Game Master, 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.

CODE of CONDUCT:

BE INCLUSIVE, FUN, AND SAFE!

All Participants are here to have fun and should ALWAYS feel safe and included. All participants (Players, Game Masters, and Organizers) are expected to adhere to the following Code of Conduct.
– Participants must conduct themselves in a manner that is conducive to the enjoyment and safety of others at the event.
– Avoid excessively vulgar, sexual, or overly mature language and themes.
– Follow the GMs lead, avoid arguing with the GM or other players over rules.
– Let other players speak, avoid talking over others.
– Avoid excessive cross-talk that is not relevant to the adventure being played.
– Allow other players to get attention from the GM.
– Discourage others from using social media to bully, shame, or intimidate other participants.
– Avoid phone conversations at the table.
– If you must take a call, please excuse yourself from the table until your call is completed.
– No tolerance is given for theft or aggressive behaviour.
– Theft and aggressive behaviour are grounds for immediate removal from the play area and the premises.
– Aggressive behaviour includes threats of or actual physical aggression, using racial, gender, or cultural slurs against another participant, and otherwise harassing other participants.

WHAT TO DO?

Participants who feel as though they are in an unsafe environment should notify the organizer of the event immediately. Participants noticing disruptive behaviour should make those responsible for the behaviour aware of their actions. If a participant feels uncomfortable bringing it to the attention of the disruptive individual, the participant should notify the Game Master or Organizers of the event immediately. The Game Master has the right to ask a disruptive player to leave the table and speak with the organizer. The Organizers have the right to remove a disruptive or aggressive player or Game Master from the play area or premises or meet up group.

RISK WARNING

Injury can occur while a participant is attending events, engaging in, or watching, roleplaying activities at events, or travelling to and from the Venues. The injury may result from the participant's actions, the actions of others or equipment failure.  On some occasions, an injury can be serious (such as head injuries, dislocations, back injuries, concussion or broken bones). In very rare cases the injury can be life threatening or result in permanent disability. If a participant has a pre-existing injury, participating in a sporting activity could result in an exacerbation of that injury. Participants could also suffer harm as a result of their personal property being lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed.
