===== Acceptable Themes =====

//Memories of Annwn//, while not a grimdark game, does feature some darker themes mixed in with the more light-hearted and collaborative core of the game. For more information on this balance and what sort of tone you can expect, please see our [[Style and Influences]] page. 

Themes listed here as “Sensitive” may occur during the game, but please use them responsibly and be aware these themes are sensitive. If you are not comfortable with a theme being explored in a scene you may use the [[combat_rules#hand_signals|safety calls]] to disengage. If someone asks you to stop pursuing a topic of conversation, do so without question.

Themes listed as “Restricted” will not occur during the game and you should not make reference to them in play, in backstory, or in any other way. Ignoring this rule is against our [[policies#behaviour_policy|Behaviour Policy]] and is a good way to get yourself removed from the game.

==== Sensitive Themes ====

  * Death
  * Self-harm
    * Blood is used as a Crafting resource, though it is typically that of an animal. Fae blood is less likely to be used, though not wholly unheard of, and therefore there may be phys-repping of such an act. 
    * Self-harm as a means of expressing distress is not a theme that this game will cover.
  * Discrimination on the basis of physical disability or mental health condition
    * Members of Vanora's Watch may face a variety of physical and metaphysical challenges and threats. Conditions which permanently harm the body or mind are likely to come up, and reacting to these in character is appropriate.
    * Discrimination on the basis of OC disability or mental health condition is wholly unacceptable.
  * Consensual sexual contact
  * Extreme violence
  * Extreme gore
  * Eating disorders
    * Crop plagues, military burning of harvests, and other such means of destroying food stocks have been used as a historical tactic of war in the world of Antumnos, and may occur in-game. As such extreme hunger and starvation may be themes that occur. 
    * Mental health related eating disorders such as anorexia will not occur.
    * Discrimination on the basis of OC eating disorder is of course wholly unacceptable.
  * Torture
  * Mind Control or other means of removing agency
    * Magic will not ever allow long-term direct mind control or dominance over another character, however magic is capable of altering perception (e.g. Korrigan Illusory magic) and emotion (e.g. some uses of the FEAR call).
  * Domestic Abuse
  * Child Death

==== Restricted Themes ====
  * Sexual assault, sexual coercion, or any other form of non-consensual sex
  * Sex with minors
  * Use of real-world discriminatory slurs

  * Discrimination on the basis of gender identity e.g. transphobia
  * Discrimination on the basis of real-world ethnicity or race
