We know discussion of these topics can be uncomfortable for some, but we are including some explanation and nuance here to make sure everyone is on the same page and we can maintain a safe and enjoyable play-space for everyone.

Chronicle Content

Supernatural content includes horror elements such as blood or gore, or elements common to vampire fiction such as drinking the blood of the unwilling, mind-control, unhealthy or supernaturally dependent relationships, political manipulation and the trade of mortals as feeding stock.

Vampire games also contain a political element that may bring player characters into social, political or physical conflict with one another.

Please always remember that your fellow players aren't your enemy, even if your characters come into conflict. Take advantage of game intermission and social time after game to check in with your fellow players, introduce yourself and let them know you're not a real monster - you just play one in the game.

Chronicle Lines

The following subject matter is NOT ALLOWED, and will not be explored in-game or in communication channels by Storytellers or by players, including in character backgrounds:

• Sexual assault of any kind
  Please be aware that some Vampires may seduce mortals to feed, but any resulting sexual activity must always be consensual and will observe a “fade to black” rule (see below).
• Behavior or concepts involving real-world hate movements, race-based slavery or discrimination based on sex, race, religion, gender identity or sexual orientation
  Vampires don’t care about these things any longer, though they may definitely still have discriminatory views on other characters’ clans, backgrounds, social standing, etc. We understand that vampires are long-lived, and history is full of examples of this kind of bigotry, but hatred should never be central to a character’s concept or background.

At COLA games, our goal is to provide an immersive and safe space for players to create engaging experiences, stories and moments they will remember for years to come. In the interest of doing so, there are a few rules to keep Reawakening enjoyable for everyone.

• No touching without permission - No player should engage in actual physical roleplay with another player without their express consent. Simply use the out-of-character gesture (crossed fingers) and ask, “Do you mind if I (action here)?” Please make sure requests are respectful, and also respect the player’s answer when given.
• Absolutely no overtly sexual, violent or dangerous out-of-character action is allowed (actual fighting, sex acts, biting, drawing blood, etc.), even with consent - Actions of this kind will result in immediate ejection from the event.
• No weapons or weapon props - Even weapon props can often be mistaken for the real thing. In order to ensure our players, staff and hosts all feel safe, weapons and weapon props are not allowed at game.
• No alcohol or recreational drug use - This includes arrival to the event visibly intoxicated. Intoxicated players will be asked to leave the event.
• No minors - Due to the mature themes of Vampire: the Masquerade, nobody under the age of 18 years will be allowed at game.
• Use the safety tools at game - Before the game, our staff will explain our check-in system and any safety tools in use for that game, as well as cover where out-of-character decompression spaces are located. We will also print out copies of the safety tools to reference at game. Please take note and make use of these.
• No other antisocial or disruptive behavior - This is to catch any additional behavior with a negative impact to the game or its players not otherwise covered here. Our game staff will be the sole arbiters of inappropriate behavior. Long story short, please just try to be a cool human being.
