Safety and Boundaries

Lines and Veils
Before beginning play, discuss your comfort levels. This game explores themes of loss, separation, grief, and emotional vulnerability. Use the Lines and Veils framework: 
 Lines are hard boundaries—content you absolutely do not want in the game. If something crosses a Line, we stop immediately and rewind or redirect. 
 Veils are content that can exist in the story but happens "off-screen." We acknowledge it happened without describing details. 
 Common topics to discuss: 
 
 Death or dying (especially of the Windcallers themselves) 
 Romantic relationships and their intensity 
 Child endangerment or loss 
 Psychological trauma or breakdown 
 Betrayal between the Windcallers 
 Body horror or transformation 
 
 Write down your Lines and Veils before Session Zero. You can add to them anytime during play.

Pause and Check-In
Either player can say "Pause" at any time to: 
 
 Check if the other player is comfortable 
 Discuss if something is approaching a Line or Veil 
 Take a break 
 Adjust the game's direction 
 
 This is not a failure of play—it's responsible storytelling.
