Playtest 1: Session 0
Playtest 1 — Session 0: Engage in a Session 0, in which you will collectively decide which member of the group is running which scenario. In this Session 0, each facilitators will take turns using the Consent in Gaming checklist for each game, with each participant listing their various boundaries (including the facilitator). Note that you can choose to create one large checklist for all games or separate checklists for each game (time consuming, but recommended, as each game has different purposes/themes). Players can also choose to veto certain games no questions asked, i.e. X-Card. Make sure to establish safety practices, including any guidelines and mechanics.
If agreement cannot be reached on games to playtest, please contact the instructors.
