Deck of Player Safety

The Deck of Player Safety makes your life as a Game Master easier as it can prevent problem topics and behaviors from arising in the first place so you don’t have to deal with them during or after the session.

With the explosive growth of tabletop gaming, the Deck of Player Safety was created to ensure all participants, whether they are good friends or complete strangers, have a quick and anonymous method to signal hot-button topics they want to exclude from their gaming experience.

Most importantly, they can do so without being in the spotlight.  Incorporating the Deck of Player Safety at your table demonstrates you respect your fellow gamers and want to avoid compromising anyone's comfort. It can also head off problems before they arise, allowing for a smoother session for the Game Master.

About Deck of Player Safety:

The Deck of Player Safety is a TTRPG player safety tool in the form of a casino-quality poker card deck of “hot-button” cards, along with several “Anything Goes” cards.

The DOPS should be used at the start of a gaming session. This can head off difficult topics and their consequences BEFORE they happen.

The Deck of Player Safety consists of:

• 30 hot-button cards, each with a different hot-button topic

• 12 "Anything Goes" cards

• 8 short-form instructional cards to hand out to remind your players of the process

• 2 blank cards upon which you, the GM, can write custom hot-buttons specific to your game session (these cards are reusable with wet erase markers, but not dry erase)

• 2 "X-Cards" to implement the optional X-Card** Safety Tool

• A swanky box to hold your deck of cards
