Set The Table Clearly
Respect Boundaries
Leave Safely
Before The Campaign Begins
Play With Imagination.Participate With Consent.
Fifth Realm is built for collaborative storytelling without obscuring boundaries, expectations, agency, or safety.
02
Consent And Boundaries
Game masters and players should agree on table expectations, safety tools, communication norms, content boundaries, and how someone can pause or leave participation without retaliation.
03
Use Clear Safety Tools
Useful tools may include a session zero, lines and veils, open-door expectations, check-ins, breaks, and a simple pause or stop signal. No participant must disclose a diagnosis or personal history to set a boundary.
04
Content Notes
Material themes should be described plainly enough for informed choice without exposing private member information or forcing anyone to explain a personal or medical reason.
05
Community Conduct
Harassment, discrimination, threats, coercion, nonconsensual content, and deliberate boundary violations are not permitted. Reports will receive human review.
06
Game Master And Player Responsibilities
Game masters should communicate material changes, apply expectations consistently, respond to boundary concerns, and avoid using narrative authority to pressure players. Players should respect agreed limits, other participants’ agency, scheduling commitments, and a game master’s good-faith safety direction.
07
Copyright Boundary
Fifth Realm coordinates people and campaigns. It will not reproduce copyrighted tabletop rules, proprietary character builders, virtual maps, rulebooks, or other unauthorized game content.
08
Participation And Passport
Campaign participation can contribute to Passport only through an authorized verification process. Passport is not a public competition or player ranking.
09
Adults Only
Fifth Realm is intended for adults 18 and older. Campaign hosts and participants should use appropriate judgment around venues, offline participation, reporting, removal, and personal safety.
10
Reporting Concerns
Harassment, threats, unsafe offline behavior, sexual misconduct, and deliberate boundary violations may be reported privately through SIGNAL. Immediate danger requires local emergency services; SIGNAL is not emergency response.
Protect The Table
Boundaries Matter.Report Serious Concerns Privately.
Harassment, threats, unsafe offline behavior, sexual misconduct, and deliberate boundary violations may be reported privately through SIGNAL. Immediate danger requires local emergency services.
Fiction can be intense without participation becoming unsafe. Clear expectations, consent, and the ability to pause or leave remain part of the experience.
