Anti-harassment policy for 13th Age organized play

Knowing that organized play brings together people with different expectations and styles of play at the table, how do we ensure that everyone has fun? Designing fun-optimized materials is obviously a big part of that, but so is setting ground rules and expectations for the event.

The 13th Age Organized Play Anti-Harassment Policy (PDF) includes:

• The 5 principles of 13th Age organized play
• What to do if you’re being harassed at a 13th Age event
• What happens to the harasser?
• GM guidelines on how to implement and enforce the policy

Many thanks to Anna Kreider (Thou Art But a Warrior, Go Make Me a Sandwich) for helping us draft this policy, and for providing valuable feedback and reality checks at every step. This policy looks to the example of other convention and game company anti-harassment policies, most notably OH Nerd, CONvergence, KristaCon, Nerd NYC, Geek Feminism and Privateer Press.
