CLS consent policy
How we ask, how anyone stops a scene, and what dungeon monitors do.
4 min readVersion 2, Sep 18, 2026
Everyone at a CLS event agrees to this policy. It is short on purpose.
Ask first, every time
Consent is asked for and given out loud, before a scene starts. A previous yes doesn't carry over to tonight.
Yes can change
Anyone can stop a scene at any time, for any reason. "Red" stops everything. "Yellow" means slow down and check in. If someone can't speak, agree on a gesture before you start: dropping a held object is our house default.
Dungeon monitors
DMs wear a brass armband. If a DM asks a scene to pause, it pauses. Talk it through afterwards, not during.
If something goes wrong
Tell a DM or any board member that night, or report it to the safety team later. You can report anonymously.
Check your understanding
