Full Deck Method Safety Tool Table Print Out
This is just a tabletop print out sheet if you need it. For a slightly more discreet safety tool¸ split a deck among players evenly distributing the 4 suites. Players can hand cards to each other or the GM depending on their needs. With Hearts thrown into the mix and used regularly¸ it gives the player a bit of anonymity or discretion if they desire it¸ or if shared with players mixing a heart and another piece suggests somewhat of a polite request. The heart might remind people to be empathetic. Since it's discreet¸ getting a card handed to you might hopefully show you that the intent isn't to call you out in front of everyone¸ but to just be aware of another person's need. It's important to start off any gaming session with a discussion about limits¸ or if you are uncomfortable discussing these things¸ please submit them in writing to the GM. Everyone deserves to feel safe at the table¸ regardless of whether they want to put all their cards out on the table or keep them close to the chest. Hearts - Thank you - Whether Saying it after or before the fact Diamonds - Involve Me - When you need to be recognized and brought in more to the story or dialogue. Clubs - Move On or Change - Similar to a Veil¸ when something is making you uncomfortable Spades - Please Stop - Similar to an X-Card¸ When something crosses a line and needs to stop
