Safety Tools for "End of the Line", a new game from NUELOW

NUELOW Games has released a new horror roleplaying game, End of the Line. Once again, there was a discussion about whether or not we should include "safety tools". We came to the agreement that Steve Miller's long-standing policy of leaving such things up to individual groups to figure out such things would once again win out... but we can still put them here on the blog.

SAFETY TOOLS
End of the Line deals with death, trauma, and horror. Use one tools or more of these tools to ensure everyone has fun:

 

 
LINES AND VEILS
Before play, discuss:
   Lines: Content that won't appear in the game at all
   Veils: Content that can exist but happens "off-screen"

Common lines/veils: Harm to children, Sexual violence, Specific phobias, Graphic gore, Suicide

 

X-CARD
Place a card with an X on it in the center of the table. Anyone can tap it at any time, no explanation needed. When tapped, the GM stops the current scene immediately and "rewinds" to redo the scene or "skips ahead" so it happens off-screen.
   No questions asked, no judgment

 

 

OPEN DOOR POLICY
Anyone can leave the table at any time for any reason. They can return when ready, or not at all. No explanation needed.

 

 
CHECK-INS
The Facilitator should check in with players regularly with questions like, "Is everyone okay with where this is going?", "Is this too intense?" and "Do we need a break?"

 

DEBRIEF
After each session, take a few minutes to: discuss what worked and what didn't; share favorite moments; address any concerns; and separate fiction from reality.

Eyewear Bikinis for the d20 System

Eyewear is a brand of bikinis for women who are tired to saying "my eyes are up here," as it puts eyes just where the "male gaze" often focuses.

A few rare models of the Eyewear bikini line are magical, and they are made available to the Witchkind and others who are aware of the secret magical world that exists along side the mundane one. If, of course, they can pay the asking price (or provide equally valuable favors).

EYEWEAR -- The Basic Model

Comes in red with blue eyes, or black with green eyes. The enchanted variety provides with wearer with a +4 bonus to Search and Spot skill checks.

EYEWEAR -- The Charmer

This bikini provides the benefits of the Basic Model, and the addition of a +4 bonus to Bargain and Diplomacy skill checks.

EYEWEAR -- The Sharpie

This bikini provides the benefits of the Basic model, plus +2 to Bargain skill checks. Additionally, when the wearer is in water deeper than 4 feet, she can summon a random type of carnivorous sea creatures that will attack her foes for 2d6 rounds or until slain.
