Because the public sessions are hosted under the store's name, Oddwillow's DMs have to align with our code of conduct, uphold our store's mission, and follow certain guidelines, such as:
1) We manage sign ups. We love for your to bring players in, but to make sure we don't overbook, all sign ups for sessions must go through the store.
2) Provide staff with summary and content warnings. We require a small summary of your session, and warnings for any themes that may be sensitive for certain players. No sexual content is allowed in store hosted sessions
3) Be willing to work with all types of people. We have players of all kinds, including all levels of neurodivergence, race, religions, experience, and more. You must be willing and able to work with all players no matter their background, and make sure all players are included and treated fairly.
4) Session Prep. ALL one shot campaigns require premade characters. Ongoing/long term campaigns don't, but must have a session 0. We're happy to print anything you need and help you with materials, as long as all prep is done before the session.
5) All DMs are volunteer basis. DMs are volunteers, and are not directly paid. We do highly encourage players to tip their DMs with Pieces of Odd, which can be redeemed for store credit. You are not allowed to accept cash from players on premises.
6) Reliability. If you set up a public session or sign up to run a private session, you have to stick to your dates & times. That said, we're all humans. If a change must be made, please make us aware as soon as possible.
