D&D Adventurers League Code of Conduct
In signing up for or participating in Adventurers League events as either a DM or a player at Table Two Gaming events, you agree to the Code of Conduct required of both DMs and Players.
Code of Conduct
All D&D Adventurers League participants are here to have fun and should feel safe and included at all times.
All participants (players, Dungeon 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. Players are responsible for the behavior of the characters in-game (excluding charms, etc. where the DM is responsible). The same conduct is expected between the characters in game that is expected between the players at the table. BE RESPECTFUL.
Avoid excessively vulgar, sexual, or overly mature language and themes.
Follow the DMs lead, avoid arguing with the DM or other players over rules.
Avoid excessive cross-talk that is not relevant to the adventure being played.
Let other players speak, avoid talking over others. Allow other players to get attention from the DM. Respect the turn order.
Avoid phone conversations at the table. If you must take a call, please excuse yourself from the table until your call is completed.
Discourage others from using social media to bully, shame, or intimidate other participants.
No tolerance is given for theft or aggressive behavior. Theft and aggressive behavior are grounds for immediate removal from the play area and the premises.
Aggressive behaviors include, but are not limited to, threats of physical aggression, use of racial, gender, or cultural-slurs, and body shaming or bullying.
Harassment is any unwanted behavior which humiliates, intimidates or offends a person and that is directed to the person because of their sex, race, disability, age or any other ground covered in anti-discrimination legislation.
Intention is not relevant in determining whether the conduct amounts to harassment.
Harassment includes unwelcome attention (sexual or otherwise).
It is not necessary for the harassed person to have told the harasser that their behavior was unwelcome or offensive.
Silence on the part of a person being harassed should not be taken as acceptance of the conduct. See something, say something. We are all in this together.
Participants noticing disruptive behavior should politely make those responsible for the behavior aware of their actions if they feel comfortable in doing so.
The Dungeon Master has the right to ask a disruptive player to leave the table and speak with the organizer.
The organizer has the right to remove a disruptive or aggressive player or Dungeon Master from the play area or premises.
Participants who feel as though they are in an unsafe environment should notify the organizer of the event immediately.
If anyone at the gaming event, regardless of who or why they are there, feels that they have been harassed, bullied, or made to feel “uncomfortable” in any way or if you witness this happening to someone else, you should immediately contact a representative of Table Two Gaming. Table Two Gaming representatives will be available throughout the event. Ask any staff member to locate them, if you cannot find them. At that time the representative will deal with the situation and assist the individual in whatever way needed to ensure that the event remains a safe, stress free environment. Alternatively, if you prefer email any comments or concerns to Table Two Gaming at Contact us or reported anonymously through our reporting system through the button below.
To best serve our community and ensure violations of the Code of Conduct are addressed appropriately we may need to share all or some information being provided to us. The identities of the reporter, those who experienced violations, and those being reported will only be disclosed to those who absolutely need that information; The person who violated the Code of Conduct and the general public are not among those who need to know details. Any deviation from this must have the informed consent of the persons who experienced and reported the violation.
We are bringing in a color coded card system that may be used to show levels of comfort/discomfort with the subject matter. At that time the DM will adjust the descriptive language or subject manner so ensure that all participants are enjoying themselves. The DM will provide additional instruction for using the system and answer questions that arise for their particular game.
