Deck of Player Safety

17/11/2024

Fell into my first paid gig as a DM and ran a birthday party one-shot. All the players (most of them new to TTRPGs) brought their A-game and came in costume.

A week prior, I sent out the digital Deck of Player Safety by Demiplane.com/dops and knew the limits for these players.

As far as plot, those buried at the cemetery at the farm just kept coming back, although a little….off. Definitely don’t drink the green slime coming from the well. So much fun!

Played (yes, actually playing instead of DMing) at the fundraiser at my home FLGS over the weekend to honor the memory of a friend and great DM Tommy Thomas. Great prizes at the raffle table, including some Deck of Player Safety.

Thanks to Luke Gygax and Kobold Press (T. Alexander Stangroom COO) for the shoutout to the Deck of Player Safety during at least one of their panels on Friday (that I couldn't make 🙁).

I had friends at both panels texting me to let me know. Your support of the Deck is enormously appreciated!

Thanks for the tip Egg Embry

And I haven’t stopped laughing since.

Sly Flourish is my weekly, go-to authority on the TTRPG industry as he brings a very fair and practical discussion to running better games and the industry as a whole.

On top of that, he makes great content!

I just backed his Kickstarter and you should too!

Just attended a great seminar by Wizard Staffing Co called “RPGs for New Players” which was an excellent discussion led by Michael and Brian.

They allowed me to highlight the Deck of Player Safety as the perfect tool for a 3-minute session 0 for one-shots.

They professionally run in-person games in the Chicago area. Check them out if you are local.

I'm honored to have been nominated for the "Innovation in the TTRPG Space" CRiT Award! (along with some other great creators 🥰) Here is where I humbly request your vote 😊 and that you share this post among your friends and followers.

I truly feel the Deck of Player Safety innovates a proactive, anonymous approach to heading off problem topics at the gaming table.

It is available as both a physical Deck for in-person play, and a free digital format at demiplane.com/dops for online games, allowing you the same familiar mechanic no matter where you are playing. By having both versions available, I hope to normalize safety tools at the game table.

There are several pages of voting categories and please support your favorites. My category is on the last page of voting, so don't give up clicking! Voting can be done here: https://tinyurl.com/CRiTAwards

Thank you!

I was asked to be on the GM Tips panel during PaizoCon 2024 a couple weeks ago and had a great time answering questions about GMing with the Paizo Inc. Team!
