GMing with Player Consent

Consider this a "next level" discussion on consent in gaming and using safety tools. In this panel discussion, we will focus on how you can up your GMing to take into consideration the importance of player agency and allowing your players to drive the story forward, not the GM. We will review ideas of how you can create a culture of safety in your games so that players can feel safe to explore emotional and personal story beats with the potential to not only grow the characters but themselves.
