Charter

2021-10-30T14:45:25Z

DrBurst: /* Bans */

This Charter has been set forth to direct the community representing the ShadowHaven living Shadowrun campaign, to facilitate a mature community of Shadowrun players playing together in an accessible manner, to provide guidelines for a welcoming community with strong moderation, and to collaboratively tell and enjoy a compelling and engaging Shadowrun story.

We explicitly do not seek to maximize the number of people in our group, but to focus on making the group as fun and stress-free as possible. We do not accept antisocial behavior here. We seek to create a space where every member feels free to bring up issues that they may have and can expect civil dialog on the topic. We understand that the time and energy of our members is preciously limited and aim to make time spent here as joyous as possible. We set strong boundaries on the type of gameplay and community we expect while acknowledging and accepting that some may not fit with us. However, we are more than happy to play with anyone to see if there is a fit.


=Article I: Guiding Principles=

1. '''Freedom to pick''': GMs being free to choose their players and players being free to choose their GMs creates accountability on the part of all people involved to play the game in good faith.

2. '''Trust each other''': Our players and GMs can trust each other for anyone who dares violate that trust will be removed.

3. '''We’re Busy, Slot Paperwork''': Our member’s time is valuable. Any paperwork we ask for should be for world building, not administrative measures that attempt to guard community integrity with record keeping. Most our time should be spent playing games.

4. '''No pulled punches''': We will not implement policies that encourage pulled punches and sugarcoating of game content.

5. '''It's better to ban one than lose two''': The integrity of the community will be guarded.


6. '''Open Dialog''': Provide spaces to members to community their grievances, make sure they feel comfortable enough to share them.

7. '''Permissive, but not sugarcoated''': While we let our players play what they want, we will not sugar coat the world to make more oddball concepts work. We aim to achieve verisimilitude.

8. '''House rule philosophy''': We attempt to accept as much of Shadowrun 5E's raw as possible. If ambiguity gets in the way, we attempt to create house rules that preserve a version of Shadowrun 5E that is relatable to all players, especially new ones. We address problematic areas of the game like vehicle damage, melee with spirits, and addiction rules in ways that streamline and improve the player experience for a living community setting. We ban unsalvageable parts of the game.

===== Ban Documentation =====
All moderator actions, except for informal warnings, must be listed in the internal #moderation-history channel. Bans must be listed in #moderation-records for all ShadowHaven members who wish to review our moderation decisions so long as they are active.

===== Communication Standards =====
Moderators are expected to be courteous and professional when interacting with someone in the course of issuing a moderation action. The moderator should check in with the person first, as this humanizes the interaction. The moderators should then issue the action by using the 4 part harmony. In this process, you communicate the following: 1. What was provided/observed. 2. What is deficient about the action the player took. 3. Why the item in part 4 is needed 4. What is needed from the player/what behavior they need to change.

Afterwards, be sure to communicate that they may appeal this decision to the co-sysops or sysop.

===== Examples of the Communication Standards =====
'''Example 1:''' You provided me with this omelet. It's quite tasty and I enjoy it. However I noticed you use parmesan cheese as the cheese selected. The critical element of a omelet is the gooey cheesiness of the dish. For that reason please use a melting cheese next time.

'''Example 2:'''

You recently criticized a decision to retcon a run, complaining that the decision had a negative impact on your character's story. You also commented that you felt the decision was arbitrary and promised to evade or ignore it.

You have every right to be upset and object to the decision, however, the matter in which you object induces burnout in staff. It also fails to recognize that everyone is working in good faith to ensure the community as a whole functions smoothly. Staff members attempt to balance the needs of our many players.

We need to have constructive criticism, otherwise staff burns out and changes don’t actually get made. It is possible we made a mistake, this is not the way to go about it.

I need you to stop with the passive aggressive comments. There are three routes to object to this decision.

1) Talk to the head of thematics, Tekomandor, and attempt to respectfully convince them to overturn the decision.

2) Post in topics for discussion, this will force the council as a whole to vote on this topic after discussion.

3) Request DrBurst or the Co-SysOps make this into a request for public comment, challenging the ruling, as is your right as outlined in our charter.

Objecting does not guarantee we'll overturn it, but we have extensive systems to review our choices because we are human.

Please accept this note as a formal warning that evasion of thematic’s decision will result in moderation action. Continued passive aggressive comments will also result in moderation action.

====Individual Moderators Duties and Powers====

#Interview members when investigating cases
#Access to all ShadowHaven documents and chat channels when investigating cases
##An except to this rule is in regards to raiders and trolls who join the server and immediately cause disruptive action. In these cases, a moderator may issue any actions including a permaban. This action may be reversed by the Head of Moderation or the Sysop.
#When taking any action, moderators must document, with the exception of informal warnings, their action and reasoning in #moderation-history in order to document incidents.
#When issuing bans, moderators must inform the banned of their right to appeal the case to the sysop or the co-sysops.

=Article III: GMP=
[[GMP]] must be carefully balanced to avoid building a progression focused culture and instead promote a culture that focuses on storytelling, the game, the community. As such, several policies are defined in this charter.

*Total GMP gained per member from all departments they are in is limited to 15 GMP/month.

=Article IV: Membership Rights=
==1: The Right Not to be Forced to Continue and Abandon or Cease Uncomfortable Scenes (Global X-Card)==

'''The ability to abandon or cease games or role play which makes any ShadowHaven member uncomfortable is a fundamental and protected right granted to members by the charter.'''

Shadowhaven shall treat the word “X-card” as a prearranged and unambiguous signal to end their game or roleplay without delay for any reason. This can be deployed both in voice chat, freeform RP and text based games. Members shall be able to deploy this safeword without retaliation.

Every ShadowHaven department is hereby directed to maintain policies to support any case where a player or GM uses this measure and promote the use of the “X-card” safeword across ShadowHaven, particularly among shy members. In particular, the thematics in their GM oversight role and moderation teams.

The “X-card” safeword may be activated via text, voice or PM. It may be used in the voice chat, private PM to the game master, or by messaging a member of the council, moderation team, or Shadow Haven Staff in private to request they step in and stop the game.. A member need not have made their discomfort known prior to using the X-card. Members may feel free to disconnect from the game before deploying this safeword. Members may use this in any way they feel most comfortable. Any means a member feels most comfortable with using are acceptable. If anonymity is requested when using the X-Card, it is to be protected.

ShadowHaven as an organization cares more about player safety than storylines. We have many tools at our disposal to ensure the storyline continues, but only after we have taken care of our priority towards player safety. This is not a tool of last resort, nor is it a replacement for other conversations around sensitive topics. However, we are exploring a dark world in a freeform fashion with complete strangers. We have complete trust in our members to explore these topics in a mature way. However, sometimes we stumble and need a safety net. This is especially true in our voice and text chat based environment where we do not have body language to detect discomfort.

The best response to the deployment of an “X-card” is to take a break and either talk to the involved parties or have a moderation/thematics member do it for you. The involved party shall need not reveal what is happening.

All members of the ShadowHaven community shall treat the use of the X-Card with respect and maturity. There shall be zero tolerance for hostile actions made in retaliation against someone for using the X-Card.

==2: Have a leadership decisions reviewed by the community at large.==

The Topics for Discussion thread, in the old days, was a place for public debate over the course of the community. With Discord, that has fallen to the way side, yet we consider this public stage for discussion the community to be vital. Thus, after going through the normal for changing or appealing a decisions, members may submit their proposals to the SysOp via the normal ticket process or [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScEOnD5kbByPuPZ3P825uyRNOhtTSIiNFndJ86TRO-P9MxtUA/viewform via this anonymous form]. If submitted in good faith, the sysop will make a discord channel for the public debate of that issue. 2 to 3 weeks after the start of that debate, the council will vote on the topic again with the knowledge gained from these discussions in mind. Please note, these discussions must be in good faith. Should the discussion spiral into toxicity, the sysop may cancel the public comment period.

== 3: Restriction on Staff Sharing Screenshots Outside the Server ==
Screenshots of deleted material may be shared with other living communities should the need for collective player safety outweigh privacy concerns. This is at the discretion of the SysOp and Co-SysOp, but typically involves cases that are far graver than interpersonal issues and involve contacting Discord itself in addition to these other groups.

Staff may not share screenshots from the server in any other official capacity.

= Article V: Play Testing =
Shadowrun 5th edition represents an exceptionally complicated game. With the lackluster release of 6th edition, exceptional steps need to be taken to keep 5th edition fresh and exciting. There is also no more chance for major errata from CGL to address issues that the community as a whole acknowledges as issues. To this end, we need a robust policy to allow for experimental play features to be deployed to game.

The council may vote to release a proposed gameplay feature to play test. These are optional to engage with. Gamemasters must clearly indicate in the body and title of their posts if they are using play test rules. The Editor-at-Large for the Wiki is direct to maintain a list of active play tests on the wiki. Game masters and players are directed to do their best in completing feedback forms associated with a play test or note their observations to a council member.

In addition, gamemasters may decide to make their run Canon or Non-Canon to play test a game play feature. If the game is Non-Canon, the gamemaster and players involved are awarded 12 [[GMP]]. This award is subject to the normal policies on award increased for long runs as listed in the GM rules.

To further stress test these experimental ideas, game masters may accept custom character sheets at post-gen karma levels in non-canon games. It will be the game master's responsibility to check these characters designed to stress test a proposed feature. The council may set GMP bounties on custom character sheets to explore problematic edge cases.

1) Talk to the head of thematics, Tekomandor, and attempt to respectfully convince them to overturn the decision.

2) Post in topics for discussion, this will force the council as a whole to vote on this topic after discussion.

3) Request DrBurst or the Co-SysOps make this into a request for public comment, challenging the ruling, as is your right as outlined in our charter.

Objecting does not guarantee we'll overturn it, but we have extensive systems to review our choices because we are human.

Please accept this note as a formal warning that evasion of thematic’s decision will result in moderation action. Continued passive aggressive comments will also result in moderation action.

=Article III: GMP=
[[GMP]] must be carefully balanced to avoid building a progression focused culture and instead promote a culture that focuses on storytelling, the game, the community. As such, several policies are defined in this charter.

*Total GMP gained per member from all departments they are in is limited to 15 GMP/month.

=Article IV: Membership Rights=
==1: The Right Not to be Forced to Continue and Abandon or Cease Uncomfortable Scenes (Global X-Card)==

'''The ability to abandon or cease games or role play which makes any ShadowHaven member uncomfortable is a fundamental and protected right granted to members by the charter.'''

Shadowhaven shall treat the word “X-card” as a prearranged and unambiguous signal to end their game or roleplay without delay for any reason. This can be deployed both in voice chat, freeform RP and text based games. Members shall be able to deploy this safeword without retaliation.

Every ShadowHaven department is hereby directed to maintain policies to support any case where a player or GM uses this measure and promote the use of the “X-card” safeword across ShadowHaven, particularly among shy members. In particular, the thematics in their GM oversight role and moderation teams.

The “X-card” safeword may be activated via text, voice or PM. It may be used in the voice chat, private PM to the game master, or by messaging a member of the council, moderation team, or Shadow Haven Staff in private to request they step in and stop the game.. A member need not have made their discomfort known prior to using the X-card. Members may feel free to disconnect from the game before deploying this safeword. Members may use this in any way they feel most comfortable. Any means a member feels most comfortable with using are acceptable. If anonymity is requested when using the X-Card, it is to be protected.

ShadowHaven as an organization cares more about player safety than storylines. We have many tools at our disposal to ensure the storyline continues, but only after we have taken care of our priority towards player safety. This is not a tool of last resort, nor is it a replacement for other conversations around sensitive topics. However, we are exploring a dark world in a freeform fashion with complete strangers. We have complete trust in our members to explore these topics in a mature way. However, sometimes we stumble and need a safety net. This is especially true in our voice and text chat based environment where we do not have body language to detect discomfort.

The best response to the deployment of an “X-card” is to take a break and either talk to the involved parties or have a moderation/thematics member do it for you. The involved party shall need not reveal what is happening.

All members of the ShadowHaven community shall treat the use of the X-Card with respect and maturity. There shall be zero tolerance for hostile actions made in retaliation against someone for using the X-Card.

==2: Have a leadership decisions reviewed by the community at large.==

The Topics for Discussion thread, in the old days, was a place for public debate over the course of the community. With Discord, that has fallen to the way side, yet we consider this public stage for discussion the community to be vital. Thus, after going through the normal for changing or appealing a decisions, members may submit their proposals to the SysOp via the normal ticket process or [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScEOnD5kbByPuPZ3P825uyRNOhtTSIiNFndJ86TRO-P9MxtUA/viewform via this anonymous form]. If submitted in good faith, the sysop will make a discord channel for the public debate of that issue. 2 to 3 weeks after the start of that debate, the council will vote on the topic again with the knowledge gained from these discussions in mind. Please note, these discussions must be in good faith. Should the discussion spiral into toxicity, the sysop may cancel the public comment period.

== 3: Restriction on Staff Sharing Screenshots Outside the Server ==
Screenshots of deleted material may be shared with other living communities should the need for collective player safety outweigh privacy concerns. This is at the discretion of the SysOp and Co-SysOp, but typically involves cases that are far graver than interpersonal issues and involve contacting Discord itself in addition to these other groups.

Staff may not share screenshots from the server in any other official capacity.

= Article V: Play Testing =
Shadowrun 5th edition represents an exceptionally complicated game. With the lackluster release of 6th edition, exceptional steps need to be taken to keep 5th edition fresh and exciting. There is also no more chance for major errata from CGL to address issues that the community as a whole acknowledges as issues. To this end, we need a robust policy to allow for experimental play features to be deployed to game.

The council may vote to release a proposed gameplay feature to play test. These are optional to engage with. Gamemasters must clearly indicate in the body and title of their posts if they are using play test rules. The Editor-at-Large for the Wiki is direct to maintain a list of active play tests on the wiki. Game masters and players are directed to do their best in completing feedback forms associated with a play test or note their observations to a council member.

In addition, gamemasters may decide to make their run Canon or Non-Canon to play test a game play feature. If the game is Non-Canon, the gamemaster and players involved are awarded 12 [[GMP]]. This award is subject to the normal policies on award increased for long runs as listed in the GM rules.

To further stress test these experimental ideas, game masters may accept custom character sheets at post-gen karma levels in non-canon games. It will be the game master's responsibility to check these characters designed to stress test a proposed feature. The council may set GMP bounties on custom character sheets to explore problematic edge cases.

Charter

2021-10-30T14:30:55Z

DrBurst: /* Senior Staff */

This Charter has been set forth to direct the community representing the ShadowHaven living Shadowrun campaign, to facilitate a mature community of Shadowrun players playing together in an accessible manner, to provide guidelines for a welcoming community with strong moderation, and to collaboratively tell and enjoy a compelling and engaging Shadowrun story.

We explicitly do not seek to maximize the number of people in our group, but to focus on making the group as fun and stress-free as possible. We do not accept antisocial behavior here. We seek to create a space where every member feels free to bring up issues that they may have and can expect civil dialog on the topic. We understand that the time and energy of our members is preciously limited and aim to make time spent here as joyous as possible. We set strong boundaries on the type of gameplay and community we expect while acknowledging and accepting that some may not fit with us. However, we are more than happy to play with anyone to see if there is a fit.


=Article I: Guiding Principles=

1. '''Freedom to pick''': GMs being free to choose their players and players being free to choose their GMs creates accountability on the part of all people involved to play the game in good faith.

2. '''Trust each other''': Our players and GMs can trust each other for anyone who dares violate that trust will be removed.

3. '''We’re Busy, Slot Paperwork''': Our member’s time is valuable. Any paperwork we ask for should be for world building, not administrative measures that attempt to guard community integrity with record keeping. Most our time should be spent playing games.

4. '''No pulled punches''': We will not implement policies that encourage pulled punches and sugarcoating of game content.

5. '''It's better to ban one than lose two''': The integrity of the community will be guarded.


6. '''Open Dialog''': Provide spaces to members to community their grievances, make sure they feel comfortable enough to share them.

7. '''Permissive, but not sugarcoated''': While we let our players play what they want, we will not sugar coat the world to make more oddball concepts work. We aim to achieve verisimilitude.

8. '''House rule philosophy''': We attempt to accept as much of Shadowrun 5E's raw as possible. If ambiguity gets in the way, we attempt to create house rules that preserve a version of Shadowrun 5E that is relatable to all players, especially new ones. We address problematic areas of the game like vehicle damage, melee with spirits, and addiction rules in ways that streamline and improve the player experience for a living community setting. We ban unsalvageable parts of the game.

=Article II: Organization Structure=

==Senior Staff==

#All Senior Staff may award GMP to achieve their departments goals.
#All Senior Staff awarded 10 GMP on the 1st of each month.

##Senior Staff members should work with the SysOp to determine deputy powers for their department and list them in the charter.

'''Non-Member''' - People who do not have an accepted character.

===== Warnings =====
'''Informal Warning''' - An undocumented warning that can be issued by any moderator.

'''Documented Warning''' - An expired formal warning.

===== Bans =====

'''2 Week Bans''' - Require 3 formal warnings and a 3 day ban within 3 months to justify. A two week ban counts as a formal warning which will become a documented warning after 3 months. 3 Moderators must agree to issue this ban, in addition to the other requirements.

===== Communication Standards =====
Moderators are expected to be courteous and professional when interacting with someone in the course of issuing a moderation action. The moderator should check in with the person first, as this humanizes the interaction. The moderators should then issue the action by using the 4 part harmony. In this process, you communicate the following: 1. What was provided/observed. 2. What is deficient about the action the player took. 3. Why the item in part 4 is needed 4. What is needed from the player/what behavior they need to change.

Afterwards, be sure to communicate that they may appeal this decision to the co-sysops or sysop.

===== Examples of the Communication Standards =====
'''Example 1:''' You provided me with this omelet. It's quite tasty and I enjoy it. However I noticed you use parmesan cheese as the cheese selected. The critical element of a omelet is the gooey cheesiness of the dish. For that reason please use a melting cheese next time.

'''Example 2:'''

You recently criticized a decision to retcon a run, complaining that the decision had a negative impact on your character's story. You also commented that you felt the decision was arbitrary and promised to evade or ignore it.

You have every right to be upset and object to the decision, however, the matter in which you object induces burnout in staff. It also fails to recognize that everyone is working in good faith to ensure the community as a whole functions smoothly. Staff members attempt to balance the needs of our many players.

We need to have constructive criticism, otherwise staff burns out and changes don’t actually get made. It is possible we made a mistake, this is not the way to go about it.

I need you to stop with the passive aggressive comments. There are three routes to object to this decision.

1) Talk to the head of thematics, Tekomandor, and attempt to respectfully convince them to overturn the decision.

2) Post in topics for discussion, this will force the council as a whole to vote on this topic after discussion.

3) Request DrBurst or the Co-SysOps make this into a request for public comment, challenging the ruling, as is your right as outlined in our charter.

Objecting does not guarantee we'll overturn it, but we have extensive systems to review our choices because we are human.

Please accept this note as a formal warning that evasion of thematic’s decision will result in moderation action. Continued passive aggressive comments will also result in moderation action.

*Total GMP gained per member from all departments they are in is limited to 15 GMP/month.

=Article IV: Membership Rights=
==1: The Right Not to be Forced to Continue and Abandon or Cease Uncomfortable Scenes (Global X-Card)==

'''The ability to abandon or cease games or role play which makes any ShadowHaven member uncomfortable is a fundamental and protected right granted to members by the charter.'''

Shadowhaven shall treat the word “X-card” as a prearranged and unambiguous signal to end their game or roleplay without delay for any reason. This can be deployed both in voice chat, freeform RP and text based games. Members shall be able to deploy this safeword without retaliation.

Every ShadowHaven department is hereby directed to maintain policies to support any case where a player or GM uses this measure and promote the use of the “X-card” safeword across ShadowHaven, particularly among shy members. In particular, the thematics in their GM oversight role and moderation teams.

The “X-card” safeword may be activated via text, voice or PM. It may be used in the voice chat, private PM to the game master, or by messaging a member of the council, moderation team, or Shadow Haven Staff in private to request they step in and stop the game.. A member need not have made their discomfort known prior to using the X-card. Members may feel free to disconnect from the game before deploying this safeword. Members may use this in any way they feel most comfortable. Any means a member feels most comfortable with using are acceptable. If anonymity is requested when using the X-Card, it is to be protected.

ShadowHaven as an organization cares more about player safety than storylines. We have many tools at our disposal to ensure the storyline continues, but only after we have taken care of our priority towards player safety. This is not a tool of last resort, nor is it a replacement for other conversations around sensitive topics. However, we are exploring a dark world in a freeform fashion with complete strangers. We have complete trust in our members to explore these topics in a mature way. However, sometimes we stumble and need a safety net. This is especially true in our voice and text chat based environment where we do not have body language to detect discomfort.

The best response to the deployment of an “X-card” is to take a break and either talk to the involved parties or have a moderation/thematics member do it for you. The involved party shall need not reveal what is happening.

All members of the ShadowHaven community shall treat the use of the X-Card with respect and maturity. There shall be zero tolerance for hostile actions made in retaliation against someone for using the X-Card.

==2: Have a leadership decisions reviewed by the community at large.==

The Topics for Discussion thread, in the old days, was a place for public debate over the course of the community. With Discord, that has fallen to the way side, yet we consider this public stage for discussion the community to be vital. Thus, after going through the normal for changing or appealing a decisions, members may submit their proposals to the SysOp via the normal ticket process or [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScEOnD5kbByPuPZ3P825uyRNOhtTSIiNFndJ86TRO-P9MxtUA/viewform via this anonymous form]. If submitted in good faith, the sysop will make a discord channel for the public debate of that issue. 2 to 3 weeks after the start of that debate, the council will vote on the topic again with the knowledge gained from these discussions in mind. Please note, these discussions must be in good faith. Should the discussion spiral into toxicity, the sysop may cancel the public comment period.

== 3: Restriction on Staff Sharing Screenshots Outside the Server ==
Screenshots of deleted material may be shared with other living communities should the need for collective player safety outweigh privacy concerns. This is at the discretion of the SysOp and Co-SysOp, but typically involves cases that are far graver than interpersonal issues and involve contacting Discord itself in addition to these other groups.

Staff may not share screenshots from the server in any other official capacity.

= Article V: Play Testing =
Shadowrun 5th edition represents an exceptionally complicated game. With the lackluster release of 6th edition, exceptional steps need to be taken to keep 5th edition fresh and exciting. There is also no more chance for major errata from CGL to address issues that the community as a whole acknowledges as issues. To this end, we need a robust policy to allow for experimental play features to be deployed to game.

The council may vote to release a proposed gameplay feature to play test. These are optional to engage with. Gamemasters must clearly indicate in the body and title of their posts if they are using play test rules. The Editor-at-Large for the Wiki is direct to maintain a list of active play tests on the wiki. Game masters and players are directed to do their best in completing feedback forms associated with a play test or note their observations to a council member.

In addition, gamemasters may decide to make their run Canon or Non-Canon to play test a game play feature. If the game is Non-Canon, the gamemaster and players involved are awarded 12 [[GMP]]. This award is subject to the normal policies on award increased for long runs as listed in the GM rules.

To further stress test these experimental ideas, game masters may accept custom character sheets at post-gen karma levels in non-canon games. It will be the game master's responsibility to check these characters designed to stress test a proposed feature. The council may set GMP bounties on custom character sheets to explore problematic edge cases.

Charter

2021-10-30T14:30:22Z

DrBurst: /* Duties and Methods */

This Charter has been set forth to direct the community representing the ShadowHaven living Shadowrun campaign, to facilitate a mature community of Shadowrun players playing together in an accessible manner, to provide guidelines for a welcoming community with strong moderation, and to collaboratively tell and enjoy a compelling and engaging Shadowrun story.

We explicitly do not seek to maximize the number of people in our group, but to focus on making the group as fun and stress-free as possible. We do not accept antisocial behavior here. We seek to create a space where every member feels free to bring up issues that they may have and can expect civil dialog on the topic. We understand that the time and energy of our members is preciously limited and aim to make time spent here as joyous as possible. We set strong boundaries on the type of gameplay and community we expect while acknowledging and accepting that some may not fit with us. However, we are more than happy to play with anyone to see if there is a fit.


=Article I: Guiding Principles=

1. '''Freedom to pick''': GMs being free to choose their players and players being free to choose their GMs creates accountability on the part of all people involved to play the game in good faith.

2. '''Trust each other''': Our players and GMs can trust each other for anyone who dares violate that trust will be removed.

3. '''We’re Busy, Slot Paperwork''': Our member’s time is valuable. Any paperwork we ask for should be for world building, not administrative measures that attempt to guard community integrity with record keeping. Most our time should be spent playing games.

4. '''No pulled punches''': We will not implement policies that encourage pulled punches and sugarcoating of game content.

5. '''It's better to ban one than lose two''': The integrity of the community will be guarded.


6. '''Open Dialog''': Provide spaces to members to community their grievances, make sure they feel comfortable enough to share them.

7. '''Permissive, but not sugarcoated''': While we let our players play what they want, we will not sugar coat the world to make more oddball concepts work. We aim to achieve verisimilitude.

8. '''House rule philosophy''': We attempt to accept as much of Shadowrun 5E's raw as possible. If ambiguity gets in the way, we attempt to create house rules that preserve a version of Shadowrun 5E that is relatable to all players, especially new ones. We address problematic areas of the game like vehicle damage, melee with spirits, and addiction rules in ways that streamline and improve the player experience for a living community setting. We ban unsalvageable parts of the game.

'''Non-Member''' - People who do not have an accepted character.

===== Warnings =====
'''Informal Warning''' - An undocumented warning that can be issued by any moderator.

'''Formal Warning''' - A warning that is recorded in an internal database. These warnings become documented warnings after 3 months. 3 Formal warnings can be used to justify a 3 day ban. 3 moderators must approve before a formal warning is issued.

'''Documented Warning''' - An expired formal warning.

===== Bans =====
'''3 Day Bans''' - Require 3 formal warnings to justify. A 3 day ban counts as a formal warning which will become a documented warning after 3 months. 3 Moderators must agree to issue this ban, in addition to the other requirements.

'''2 Week Bans''' - Require 3 formal warnings and a 3 day ban within 3 months to justify. A two week ban counts as a formal warning which will become a documented warning after 3 months. 3 Moderators must agree to issue this ban, in addition to the other requirements.

'''1 Month Bans''' - Require 3 formal warnings and a 2 week ban within 3 months to justify. A one month ban counts as a formal warning which will become a documented warning after 3 months. 3 Moderators must agree to issue this ban, in addition to the other requirements.

'''Permanent Bans''' - Require 3 formal warnings and a 3 month ban within 3 months to justify. 3 Moderators must agree to issue this ban, in addition to the other requirements.

===== Communication Standards =====
Moderators are expected to be courteous and professional when interacting with someone in the course of issuing a moderation action. The moderator should check in with the person first, as this humanizes the interaction. The moderators should then issue the action by using the 4 part harmony. In this process, you communicate the following: 1. What was provided/observed. 2. What is deficient about the action the player took. 3. Why the item in part 4 is needed 4. What is needed from the player/what behavior they need to change.

Afterwards, be sure to communicate that they may appeal this decision to the co-sysops or sysop.

===== Examples of the Communication Standards =====
'''Example 1:''' You provided me with this omelet. It's quite tasty and I enjoy it. However I noticed you use parmesan cheese as the cheese selected. The critical element of a omelet is the gooey cheesiness of the dish. For that reason please use a melting cheese next time.

'''Example 2:'''

You recently criticized a decision to retcon a run, complaining that the decision had a negative impact on your character's story. You also commented that you felt the decision was arbitrary and promised to evade or ignore it.

You have every right to be upset and object to the decision, however, the matter in which you object induces burnout in staff. It also fails to recognize that everyone is working in good faith to ensure the community as a whole functions smoothly. Staff members attempt to balance the needs of our many players.

We need to have constructive criticism, otherwise staff burns out and changes don’t actually get made. It is possible we made a mistake, this is not the way to go about it.

I need you to stop with the passive aggressive comments. There are three routes to object to this decision.

1) Talk to the head of thematics, Tekomandor, and attempt to respectfully convince them to overturn the decision.

2) Post in topics for discussion, this will force the council as a whole to vote on this topic after discussion.

3) Request DrBurst or the Co-SysOps make this into a request for public comment, challenging the ruling, as is your right as outlined in our charter.

Objecting does not guarantee we'll overturn it, but we have extensive systems to review our choices because we are human.

Please accept this note as a formal warning that evasion of thematic’s decision will result in moderation action. Continued passive aggressive comments will also result in moderation action.

====Individual Moderators Duties and Powers====

#At their own discretion, Informally Warn or Mute for up to 48 hours members who are breaking community standards.

##An except to this rule is in regards to raiders and trolls who join the server and immediately cause disruptive action. In these cases, a moderator may issue any actions including a permaban. This action may be reversed by the Head of Moderation or the Sysop.
#When taking any action, moderators must document, with the exception of informal warnings, their action and reasoning in #moderation-history in order to document incidents.

'''Non-Member''' - People who do not have an accepted character.

===== Warnings =====
'''Informal Warning''' - An undocumented warning that can be issued by any moderator.

'''Formal Warning''' - A warning that is recorded in an internal database. These warnings become documented warnings after 3 months. 3 Formal warnings can be used to justify a 3 day ban. 3 moderators must approve before a formal warning is issued.

'''Documented Warning''' - An expired formal warning.

===== Bans =====
'''3 Day Bans''' - Require 3 formal warnings to justify. A 3 day ban counts as a formal warning which will become a documented warning after 3 months. 3 Moderators must agree to issue this ban, in addition to the other requirements.

'''2 Week Bans''' - Require 3 formal warnings and a 3 day ban within 3 months to justify. A two week ban counts as a formal warning which will become a documented warning after 3 months. 3 Moderators must agree to issue this ban, in addition to the other requirements.

'''1 Month Bans''' - Require 3 formal warnings and a 2 week ban within 3 months to justify. A one month ban counts as a formal warning which will become a documented warning after 3 months. 3 Moderators must agree to issue this ban, in addition to the other requirements.

===== Communication Standards =====
Moderators are expected to be courteous and professional when interacting with someone in the course of issuing a moderation action. The moderator should check in with the person first, as this humanizes the interaction. The moderators should then issue the action by using the 4 part harmony. In this process, you communicate the following: 1. What was provided/observed. 2. What is deficient about the action the player took. 3. Why the item in part 4 is needed 4. What is needed from the player/what behavior they need to change.

Afterwards, be sure to communicate that they may appeal this decision to the co-sysops or sysop.

===== Examples of the Communication Standards =====
'''Example 1:''' You provided me with this omelet. It's quite tasty and I enjoy it. However I noticed you use parmesan cheese as the cheese selected. The critical element of a omelet is the gooey cheesiness of the dish. For that reason please use a melting cheese next time.

'''Example 2:'''

You recently criticized a decision to retcon a run, complaining that the decision had a negative impact on your character's story. You also commented that you felt the decision was arbitrary and promised to evade or ignore it.

You have every right to be upset and object to the decision, however, the matter in which you object induces burnout in staff. It also fails to recognize that everyone is working in good faith to ensure the community as a whole functions smoothly. Staff members attempt to balance the needs of our many players.

We need to have constructive criticism, otherwise staff burns out and changes don’t actually get made. It is possible we made a mistake, this is not the way to go about it.

I need you to stop with the passive aggressive comments. There are three routes to object to this decision.

1) Talk to the head of thematics, Tekomandor, and attempt to respectfully convince them to overturn the decision.

2) Post in topics for discussion, this will force the council as a whole to vote on this topic after discussion.

3) Request DrBurst or the Co-SysOps make this into a request for public comment, challenging the ruling, as is your right as outlined in our charter.

Objecting does not guarantee we'll overturn it, but we have extensive systems to review our choices because we are human.

Please accept this note as a formal warning that evasion of thematic’s decision will result in moderation action. Continued passive aggressive comments will also result in moderation action.

=Article III: GMP=
[[GMP]] must be carefully balanced to avoid building a progression focused culture and instead promote a culture that focuses on storytelling, the game, the community. As such, several policies are defined in this charter.

*Total GMP gained per member from all departments they are in is limited to 15 GMP/month.

=Article IV: Membership Rights=
==1: The Right Not to be Forced to Continue and Abandon or Cease Uncomfortable Scenes (Global X-Card)==

'''The ability to abandon or cease games or role play which makes any ShadowHaven member uncomfortable is a fundamental and protected right granted to members by the charter.'''

Shadowhaven shall treat the word “X-card” as a prearranged and unambiguous signal to end their game or roleplay without delay for any reason. This can be deployed both in voice chat, freeform RP and text based games. Members shall be able to deploy this safeword without retaliation.

Every ShadowHaven department is hereby directed to maintain policies to support any case where a player or GM uses this measure and promote the use of the “X-card” safeword across ShadowHaven, particularly among shy members. In particular, the thematics in their GM oversight role and moderation teams.

The “X-card” safeword may be activated via text, voice or PM. It may be used in the voice chat, private PM to the game master, or by messaging a member of the council, moderation team, or Shadow Haven Staff in private to request they step in and stop the game.. A member need not have made their discomfort known prior to using the X-card. Members may feel free to disconnect from the game before deploying this safeword. Members may use this in any way they feel most comfortable. Any means a member feels most comfortable with using are acceptable. If anonymity is requested when using the X-Card, it is to be protected.

ShadowHaven as an organization cares more about player safety than storylines. We have many tools at our disposal to ensure the storyline continues, but only after we have taken care of our priority towards player safety. This is not a tool of last resort, nor is it a replacement for other conversations around sensitive topics. However, we are exploring a dark world in a freeform fashion with complete strangers. We have complete trust in our members to explore these topics in a mature way. However, sometimes we stumble and need a safety net. This is especially true in our voice and text chat based environment where we do not have body language to detect discomfort.

The best response to the deployment of an “X-card” is to take a break and either talk to the involved parties or have a moderation/thematics member do it for you. The involved party shall need not reveal what is happening.

All members of the ShadowHaven community shall treat the use of the X-Card with respect and maturity. There shall be zero tolerance for hostile actions made in retaliation against someone for using the X-Card.

==2: Have a leadership decisions reviewed by the community at large.==

The Topics for Discussion thread, in the old days, was a place for public debate over the course of the community. With Discord, that has fallen to the way side, yet we consider this public stage for discussion the community to be vital. Thus, after going through the normal for changing or appealing a decisions, members may submit their proposals to the SysOp via the normal ticket process or [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScEOnD5kbByPuPZ3P825uyRNOhtTSIiNFndJ86TRO-P9MxtUA/viewform via this anonymous form]. If submitted in good faith, the sysop will make a discord channel for the public debate of that issue. 2 to 3 weeks after the start of that debate, the council will vote on the topic again with the knowledge gained from these discussions in mind. Please note, these discussions must be in good faith. Should the discussion spiral into toxicity, the sysop may cancel the public comment period.

== 3: Restriction on Staff Sharing Screenshots Outside the Server ==
Screenshots of deleted material may be shared with other living communities should the need for collective player safety outweigh privacy concerns. This is at the discretion of the SysOp and Co-SysOp, but typically involves cases that are far graver than interpersonal issues and involve contacting Discord itself in addition to these other groups.

Staff may not share screenshots from the server in any other official capacity.

= Article V: Play Testing =
Shadowrun 5th edition represents an exceptionally complicated game. With the lackluster release of 6th edition, exceptional steps need to be taken to keep 5th edition fresh and exciting. There is also no more chance for major errata from CGL to address issues that the community as a whole acknowledges as issues. To this end, we need a robust policy to allow for experimental play features to be deployed to game.

The council may vote to release a proposed gameplay feature to play test. These are optional to engage with. Gamemasters must clearly indicate in the body and title of their posts if they are using play test rules. The Editor-at-Large for the Wiki is direct to maintain a list of active play tests on the wiki. Game masters and players are directed to do their best in completing feedback forms associated with a play test or note their observations to a council member.

In addition, gamemasters may decide to make their run Canon or Non-Canon to play test a game play feature. If the game is Non-Canon, the gamemaster and players involved are awarded 12 [[GMP]]. This award is subject to the normal policies on award increased for long runs as listed in the GM rules.

To further stress test these experimental ideas, game masters may accept custom character sheets at post-gen karma levels in non-canon games. It will be the game master's responsibility to check these characters designed to stress test a proposed feature. The council may set GMP bounties on custom character sheets to explore problematic edge cases.

Charter

2021-10-30T13:58:35Z

DrBurst: /* Moderation Division */

This Charter has been set forth to direct the community representing the ShadowHaven living Shadowrun campaign, to facilitate a mature community of Shadowrun players playing together in an accessible manner, to provide guidelines for a welcoming community with strong moderation, and to collaboratively tell and enjoy a compelling and engaging Shadowrun story.

We explicitly do not seek to maximize the number of people in our group, but to focus on making the group as fun and stress-free as possible. We do not accept antisocial behavior here. We seek to create a space where every member feels free to bring up issues that they may have and can expect civil dialog on the topic. We understand that the time and energy of our members is preciously limited and aim to make time spent here as joyous as possible. We set strong boundaries on the type of gameplay and community we expect while acknowledging and accepting that some may not fit with us. However, we are more than happy to play with anyone to see if there is a fit.


=Article I: Guiding Principles=

1. '''Freedom to pick''': GMs being free to choose their players and players being free to choose their GMs creates accountability on the part of all people involved to play the game in good faith.

2. '''Trust each other''': Our players and GMs can trust each other for anyone who dares violate that trust will be removed.

3. '''We’re Busy, Slot Paperwork''': Our member’s time is valuable. Any paperwork we ask for should be for world building, not administrative measures that attempt to guard community integrity with record keeping. Most our time should be spent playing games.

4. '''No pulled punches''': We will not implement policies that encourage pulled punches and sugarcoating of game content.

5. '''It's better to ban one than lose two''': The integrity of the community will be guarded.


6. '''Open Dialog''': Provide spaces to members to community their grievances, make sure they feel comfortable enough to share them.

7. '''Permissive, but not sugarcoated''': While we let our players play what they want, we will not sugar coat the world to make more oddball concepts work. We aim to achieve verisimilitude.

8. '''House rule philosophy''': We attempt to accept as much of Shadowrun 5E's raw as possible. If ambiguity gets in the way, we attempt to create house rules that preserve a version of Shadowrun 5E that is relatable to all players, especially new ones. We address problematic areas of the game like vehicle damage, melee with spirits, and addiction rules in ways that streamline and improve the player experience for a living community setting. We ban unsalvageable parts of the game.

=Article II: Organization Structure=

==Senior Staff==

#All Senior Staff may award GMP to achieve their departments goals.
#All Senior Staff awarded 10 GMP on the 1st of each month.
#All Senior Staff shall act as moderators.
#All Senior Staff may appoint deputies to their departments ranging in powers to normal member of their department to full powers of the senior staff member.
##Senior Staff members should work with the SysOp to determine deputy powers for their department and list them in the charter.
#All senior staff may write policies to allow their staff members to issue [[GMP]] and [[CDP]] while ensuring a process that has sufficient oversight and resilience against abuse. These policies should be publicly displayed on the wiki and linked to a governance page.

=Article III: GMP=
[[GMP]] must be carefully balanced to avoid building a progression focused culture and instead promote a culture that focuses on storytelling, the game, the community. As such, several policies are defined in this charter.

*Total GMP gained per member from all departments they are in is limited to 15 GMP/month.

=Article IV: Membership Rights=
==1: The Right Not to be Forced to Continue and Abandon or Cease Uncomfortable Scenes (Global X-Card)==

'''The ability to abandon or cease games or role play which makes any ShadowHaven member uncomfortable is a fundamental and protected right granted to members by the charter.'''

Shadowhaven shall treat the word “X-card” as a prearranged and unambiguous signal to end their game or roleplay without delay for any reason. This can be deployed both in voice chat, freeform RP and text based games. Members shall be able to deploy this safeword without retaliation.

Every ShadowHaven department is hereby directed to maintain policies to support any case where a player or GM uses this measure and promote the use of the “X-card” safeword across ShadowHaven, particularly among shy members. In particular, the thematics in their GM oversight role and moderation teams.

The “X-card” safeword may be activated via text, voice or PM. It may be used in the voice chat, private PM to the game master, or by messaging a member of the council, moderation team, or Shadow Haven Staff in private to request they step in and stop the game.. A member need not have made their discomfort known prior to using the X-card. Members may feel free to disconnect from the game before deploying this safeword. Members may use this in any way they feel most comfortable. Any means a member feels most comfortable with using are acceptable. If anonymity is requested when using the X-Card, it is to be protected.

ShadowHaven as an organization cares more about player safety than storylines. We have many tools at our disposal to ensure the storyline continues, but only after we have taken care of our priority towards player safety. This is not a tool of last resort, nor is it a replacement for other conversations around sensitive topics. However, we are exploring a dark world in a freeform fashion with complete strangers. We have complete trust in our members to explore these topics in a mature way. However, sometimes we stumble and need a safety net. This is especially true in our voice and text chat based environment where we do not have body language to detect discomfort.

The best response to the deployment of an “X-card” is to take a break and either talk to the involved parties or have a moderation/thematics member do it for you. The involved party shall need not reveal what is happening.

All members of the ShadowHaven community shall treat the use of the X-Card with respect and maturity. There shall be zero tolerance for hostile actions made in retaliation against someone for using the X-Card.

==2: Have a leadership decisions reviewed by the community at large.==

The Topics for Discussion thread, in the old days, was a place for public debate over the course of the community. With Discord, that has fallen to the way side, yet we consider this public stage for discussion the community to be vital. Thus, after going through the normal for changing or appealing a decisions, members may submit their proposals to the SysOp via the normal ticket process or [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScEOnD5kbByPuPZ3P825uyRNOhtTSIiNFndJ86TRO-P9MxtUA/viewform via this anonymous form]. If submitted in good faith, the sysop will make a discord channel for the public debate of that issue. 2 to 3 weeks after the start of that debate, the council will vote on the topic again with the knowledge gained from these discussions in mind. Please note, these discussions must be in good faith. Should the discussion spiral into toxicity, the sysop may cancel the public comment period.

== 3: Restriction on Staff Sharing Screenshots Outside the Server ==
Screenshots of deleted material may be shared with other living communities should the need for collective player safety outweigh privacy concerns. This is at the discretion of the SysOp and Co-SysOp, but typically involves cases that are far graver than interpersonal issues and involve contacting Discord itself in addition to these other groups.

Staff may not share screenshots from the server in any other official capacity.

= Article V: Play Testing =
Shadowrun 5th edition represents an exceptionally complicated game. With the lackluster release of 6th edition, exceptional steps need to be taken to keep 5th edition fresh and exciting. There is also no more chance for major errata from CGL to address issues that the community as a whole acknowledges as issues. To this end, we need a robust policy to allow for experimental play features to be deployed to game.

The council may vote to release a proposed gameplay feature to play test. These are optional to engage with. Gamemasters must clearly indicate in the body and title of their posts if they are using play test rules. The Editor-at-Large for the Wiki is direct to maintain a list of active play tests on the wiki. Game masters and players are directed to do their best in completing feedback forms associated with a play test or note their observations to a council member.

In addition, gamemasters may decide to make their run Canon or Non-Canon to play test a game play feature. If the game is Non-Canon, the gamemaster and players involved are awarded 12 [[GMP]]. This award is subject to the normal policies on award increased for long runs as listed in the GM rules.

To further stress test these experimental ideas, game masters may accept custom character sheets at post-gen karma levels in non-canon games. It will be the game master's responsibility to check these characters designed to stress test a proposed feature. The council may set GMP bounties on custom character sheets to explore problematic edge cases.

Charter

2021-10-29T06:32:55Z

DrBurst: /* 3: Restriction on Staff Sharing Screenshots */

This Charter has been set forth to direct the community representing the ShadowHaven living Shadowrun campaign, to facilitate a mature community of Shadowrun players playing together in an accessible manner, to provide guidelines for a welcoming community with strong moderation, and to collaboratively tell and enjoy a compelling and engaging Shadowrun story.

We explicitly do not seek to maximize the number of people in our group, but to focus on making the group as fun and stress-free as possible. We do not accept antisocial behavior here. We seek to create a space where every member feels free to bring up issues that they may have and can expect civil dialog on the topic. We understand that the time and energy of our members is preciously limited and aim to make time spent here as joyous as possible. We set strong boundaries on the type of gameplay and community we expect while acknowledging and accepting that some may not fit with us. However, we are more than happy to play with anyone to see if there is a fit.


=Article I: Guiding Principles=

1. '''Freedom to pick''': GMs being free to choose their players and players being free to choose their GMs creates accountability on the part of all people involved to play the game in good faith.

2. '''Trust each other''': Our players and GMs can trust each other for anyone who dares violate that trust will be removed.

3. '''We’re Busy, Slot Paperwork''': Our member’s time is valuable. Any paperwork we ask for should be for world building, not administrative measures that attempt to guard community integrity with record keeping. Most our time should be spent playing games.

4. '''No pulled punches''': We will not implement policies that encourage pulled punches and sugarcoating of game content.

5. '''It's better to ban one than lose two''': The integrity of the community will be guarded.


6. '''Open Dialog''': Provide spaces to members to community their grievances, make sure they feel comfortable enough to share them.

7. '''Permissive, but not sugarcoated''': While we let our players play what they want, we will not sugar coat the world to make more oddball concepts work. We aim to achieve verisimilitude.

8. '''House rule philosophy''': We attempt to accept as much of Shadowrun 5E's raw as possible. If ambiguity gets in the way, we attempt to create house rules that preserve a version of Shadowrun 5E that is relatable to all players, especially new ones. We address problematic areas of the game like vehicle damage, melee with spirits, and addiction rules in ways that streamline and improve the player experience for a living community setting. We ban unsalvageable parts of the game.

=Article III: GMP=
[[GMP]] must be carefully balanced to avoid building a progression focused culture and instead promote a culture that focuses on storytelling, the game, the community. As such, several policies are defined in this charter.

*Total GMP gained per member from all departments they are in is limited to 15 GMP/month.

=Article IV: Membership Rights=
==1: The Right Not to be Forced to Continue and Abandon or Cease Uncomfortable Scenes (Global X-Card)==

'''The ability to abandon or cease games or role play which makes any ShadowHaven member uncomfortable is a fundamental and protected right granted to members by the charter.'''

Shadowhaven shall treat the word “X-card” as a prearranged and unambiguous signal to end their game or roleplay without delay for any reason. This can be deployed both in voice chat, freeform RP and text based games. Members shall be able to deploy this safeword without retaliation.

Every ShadowHaven department is hereby directed to maintain policies to support any case where a player or GM uses this measure and promote the use of the “X-card” safeword across ShadowHaven, particularly among shy members. In particular, the thematics in their GM oversight role and moderation teams.

The “X-card” safeword may be activated via text, voice or PM. It may be used in the voice chat, private PM to the game master, or by messaging a member of the council, moderation team, or Shadow Haven Staff in private to request they step in and stop the game.. A member need not have made their discomfort known prior to using the X-card. Members may feel free to disconnect from the game before deploying this safeword. Members may use this in any way they feel most comfortable. Any means a member feels most comfortable with using are acceptable. If anonymity is requested when using the X-Card, it is to be protected.

ShadowHaven as an organization cares more about player safety than storylines. We have many tools at our disposal to ensure the storyline continues, but only after we have taken care of our priority towards player safety. This is not a tool of last resort, nor is it a replacement for other conversations around sensitive topics. However, we are exploring a dark world in a freeform fashion with complete strangers. We have complete trust in our members to explore these topics in a mature way. However, sometimes we stumble and need a safety net. This is especially true in our voice and text chat based environment where we do not have body language to detect discomfort.

The best response to the deployment of an “X-card” is to take a break and either talk to the involved parties or have a moderation/thematics member do it for you. The involved party shall need not reveal what is happening.

All members of the ShadowHaven community shall treat the use of the X-Card with respect and maturity. There shall be zero tolerance for hostile actions made in retaliation against someone for using the X-Card.

==2: Have a leadership decisions reviewed by the community at large.==

The Topics for Discussion thread, in the old days, was a place for public debate over the course of the community. With Discord, that has fallen to the way side, yet we consider this public stage for discussion the community to be vital. Thus, after going through the normal for changing or appealing a decisions, members may submit their proposals to the SysOp via the normal ticket process or [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScEOnD5kbByPuPZ3P825uyRNOhtTSIiNFndJ86TRO-P9MxtUA/viewform via this anonymous form]. If submitted in good faith, the sysop will make a discord channel for the public debate of that issue. 2 to 3 weeks after the start of that debate, the council will vote on the topic again with the knowledge gained from these discussions in mind. Please note, these discussions must be in good faith. Should the discussion spiral into toxicity, the sysop may cancel the public comment period.

== 3: Restriction on Staff Sharing Screenshots Outside the Server ==
Screenshots of deleted material may be shared with other living communities should the need for collective player safety outweigh privacy concerns. This is at the discretion of the SysOp and Co-SysOp, but typically involves cases that are far graver than interpersonal issues and involve contacting Discord itself in addition to these other groups.

Staff may not share screenshots from the server in any other official capacity.

= Article V: Play Testing =
Shadowrun 5th edition represents an exceptionally complicated game. With the lackluster release of 6th edition, exceptional steps need to be taken to keep 5th edition fresh and exciting. There is also no more chance for major errata from CGL to address issues that the community as a whole acknowledges as issues. To this end, we need a robust policy to allow for experimental play features to be deployed to game.

The council may vote to release a proposed gameplay feature to play test. These are optional to engage with. Gamemasters must clearly indicate in the body and title of their posts if they are using play test rules. The Editor-at-Large for the Wiki is direct to maintain a list of active play tests on the wiki. Game masters and players are directed to do their best in completing feedback forms associated with a play test or note their observations to a council member.

In addition, gamemasters may decide to make their run Canon or Non-Canon to play test a game play feature. If the game is Non-Canon, the gamemaster and players involved are awarded 12 [[GMP]]. This award is subject to the normal policies on award increased for long runs as listed in the GM rules.

To further stress test these experimental ideas, game masters may accept custom character sheets at post-gen karma levels in non-canon games. It will be the game master's responsibility to check these characters designed to stress test a proposed feature. The council may set GMP bounties on custom character sheets to explore problematic edge cases.

=Article III: GMP=
[[GMP]] must be carefully balanced to avoid building a progression focused culture and instead promote a culture that focuses on storytelling, the game, the community. As such, several policies are defined in this charter.

*Total GMP gained per member from all departments they are in is limited to 15 GMP/month.

=Article IV: Membership Rights=
==1: The Right Not to be Forced to Continue and Abandon or Cease Uncomfortable Scenes (Global X-Card)==

'''The ability to abandon or cease games or role play which makes any ShadowHaven member uncomfortable is a fundamental and protected right granted to members by the charter.'''

Shadowhaven shall treat the word “X-card” as a prearranged and unambiguous signal to end their game or roleplay without delay for any reason. This can be deployed both in voice chat, freeform RP and text based games. Members shall be able to deploy this safeword without retaliation.

Every ShadowHaven department is hereby directed to maintain policies to support any case where a player or GM uses this measure and promote the use of the “X-card” safeword across ShadowHaven, particularly among shy members. In particular, the thematics in their GM oversight role and moderation teams.

The “X-card” safeword may be activated via text, voice or PM. It may be used in the voice chat, private PM to the game master, or by messaging a member of the council, moderation team, or Shadow Haven Staff in private to request they step in and stop the game.. A member need not have made their discomfort known prior to using the X-card. Members may feel free to disconnect from the game before deploying this safeword. Members may use this in any way they feel most comfortable. Any means a member feels most comfortable with using are acceptable. If anonymity is requested when using the X-Card, it is to be protected.

ShadowHaven as an organization cares more about player safety than storylines. We have many tools at our disposal to ensure the storyline continues, but only after we have taken care of our priority towards player safety. This is not a tool of last resort, nor is it a replacement for other conversations around sensitive topics. However, we are exploring a dark world in a freeform fashion with complete strangers. We have complete trust in our members to explore these topics in a mature way. However, sometimes we stumble and need a safety net. This is especially true in our voice and text chat based environment where we do not have body language to detect discomfort.

The best response to the deployment of an “X-card” is to take a break and either talk to the involved parties or have a moderation/thematics member do it for you. The involved party shall need not reveal what is happening.

All members of the ShadowHaven community shall treat the use of the X-Card with respect and maturity. There shall be zero tolerance for hostile actions made in retaliation against someone for using the X-Card.

==2: Have a leadership decisions reviewed by the community at large.==

The Topics for Discussion thread, in the old days, was a place for public debate over the course of the community. With Discord, that has fallen to the way side, yet we consider this public stage for discussion the community to be vital. Thus, after going through the normal for changing or appealing a decisions, members may submit their proposals to the SysOp via the normal ticket process or [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScEOnD5kbByPuPZ3P825uyRNOhtTSIiNFndJ86TRO-P9MxtUA/viewform via this anonymous form]. If submitted in good faith, the sysop will make a discord channel for the public debate of that issue. 2 to 3 weeks after the start of that debate, the council will vote on the topic again with the knowledge gained from these discussions in mind. Please note, these discussions must be in good faith. Should the discussion spiral into toxicity, the sysop may cancel the public comment period.

== 3: Restriction on Staff Sharing Screenshots ==
Screenshots of deleted material may be shared with other living communities should the need for collective player safety outweigh privacy concerns. This is at the discretion of the SysOp and Co-SysOp, but typically involves cases that are far graver than interpersonal issues and involve contacting Discord itself in addition to these other groups.

Staff may not share screenshots from the server in any other official capacity.

= Article V: Play Testing =
Shadowrun 5th edition represents an exceptionally complicated game. With the lackluster release of 6th edition, exceptional steps need to be taken to keep 5th edition fresh and exciting. There is also no more chance for major errata from CGL to address issues that the community as a whole acknowledges as issues. To this end, we need a robust policy to allow for experimental play features to be deployed to game.

The council may vote to release a proposed gameplay feature to play test. These are optional to engage with. Gamemasters must clearly indicate in the body and title of their posts if they are using play test rules. The Editor-at-Large for the Wiki is direct to maintain a list of active play tests on the wiki. Game masters and players are directed to do their best in completing feedback forms associated with a play test or note their observations to a council member.

In addition, gamemasters may decide to make their run Canon or Non-Canon to play test a game play feature. If the game is Non-Canon, the gamemaster and players involved are awarded 12 [[GMP]]. This award is subject to the normal policies on award increased for long runs as listed in the GM rules.

To further stress test these experimental ideas, game masters may accept custom character sheets at post-gen karma levels in non-canon games. It will be the game master's responsibility to check these characters designed to stress test a proposed feature. The council may set GMP bounties on custom character sheets to explore problematic edge cases.

==Summary==

Four Haven runners save a racist from being direct-actioned by local violent street gangs in exchange for money from the mafia.
==Background==

Joseph Measel, mob-affiliated local Renton politician, has made a few promises vis-a-vis neighbourhood security he perhaps should not have. Now, all the Neighbourhood Watch-hating gangs in Renton are gunning for him. Fortunately for him, and somewhat unfortunately for the metahumans in his constituency, the Finnigans can afford to keep a guy like this safe, and they have the connections to have some idea that someone is coming for the rally this week.
==The Meet==

The team pulls up to a well-regarded Italian restaurant Downtown for their meet, after a Mr. Frazetti. They are somewhat hesitant to accept a job working to protect a 'conservative' politician as a team of mostly elves, but ultimately accept the job, receiving a simple profile of Mr. Measel and the date, time and location of the rally at which the mob expects he will be attacked in three days.

==The Run Up==

Somewhat uncertain as to the exact nature of this target andthe "criminal influences" that are looking to remove him, the team consult many of their contacts, [[Alessa P]], [[Carlos Blanco]] and [[Giovanni Montalban]] to ascertain the nature of the reasons for which Joseph is being targeted. Joe may / may not be linked to Humanis, an issue many of the metahuman-friendly gangs in Renton (in particular within Measel's relatively lawless section) take deadly issue with, and he naturally supports the expansion of law enforcement within his section, which they are naturally opposed to. Despite this, the team is unable to nail down exactly who is after Joseph.

Before the job, the team investigates the area where the rally will be taking place, noting a few elevated areas that Reiko might be able to use, as well as the overall size and shape of the square in which the rally will happen. Then, content with the knowledge and readiness they have, they wait for the day of the rally.
==The Run==

Saint and Okami, less infiltrationally inclined, simply try to blend into the crowd at the rally. Fortuna and Reiko break into a fire escape to gain roof access to a nearby, poorly-secured building. Finally, Fortuna simply smooth-talks her way into the speaker's tent. As the rally drags on, and Measel finally gets on stage with Saint and Fortuna hiding behind it, Okami notices a suspicious human just as Reiko begins to hear approaching motorcycles, evidently modified for noise as go-gangers sometimes do.

Okami manages to mentally interrupt the assassin before he can fire on Joseph, but others emerge from the crowd as the team springs into action. Joe takes a bullet, but Saint repairs his wound (mostly) with magic. Fortuna, Reiko and the mentally-manipulated assassin, assisted by Okami's magical attacks, manage to kill the other four, though Saint is seriously hurt. Fortuna, hearing the go-gangers coming closer, drags the barely-conscious Joe under the stage, hiding him from the incoming Blood Mountain Boys / Girls, who, unwilling to simply fire indiscriminately at the rally and further 'martyr' Measel, simply ride on by shouting obscenities.
==Aftermath==

Joe Measel lives to keep running for office, but the Renton gangs are not happy about this...
==Rewards==
14,000 ¥, 4 Karma, 2 CDP

==Game Quotes==

==Player After Action Reports (AARs)==

=== Saint ===
I got shot...did not like it. Other than that a good run and more importantly I saved the life of someone that hates me and that fills me with glee. FUCK HUMANIS

===Reiko===
All in all, a fairly simple run. The first attackers went down pretty easily, and Fortuna was pretty smart to pull the guy we were protecting out of sight before the second wave showed up.

===Okami===
This was awful! If the money was not good, I would go home! Not only did the man end up being a Humanis supporter, than wanted me outside, in the sun! During the day! Awful, awful time! Saint is an odd man. The others were... Very quiet...

Charter

2021-10-21T03:10:02Z

DrBurst: /* Sysop */

This Charter has been set forth to direct the community representing the ShadowHaven living Shadowrun campaign, to facilitate a mature community of Shadowrun players playing together in an accessible manner, to provide guidelines for a welcoming community with strong moderation, and to collaboratively tell and enjoy a compelling and engaging Shadowrun story.

We explicitly do not seek to maximize the number of people in our group, but to focus on making the group as fun and stress-free as possible. We do not accept antisocial behavior here. We seek to create a space where every member feels free to bring up issues that they may have and can expect civil dialog on the topic. We understand that the time and energy of our members is preciously limited and aim to make time spent here as joyous as possible. We set strong boundaries on the type of gameplay and community we expect while acknowledging and accepting that some may not fit with us. However, we are more than happy to play with anyone to see if there is a fit.


=Article I: Guiding Principles=

1. '''Freedom to pick''': GMs being free to choose their players and players being free to choose their GMs creates accountability on the part of all people involved to play the game in good faith.

2. '''Trust each other''': Our players and GMs can trust each other for anyone who dares violate that trust will be removed.

3. '''We’re Busy, Slot Paperwork''': Our member’s time is valuable. Any paperwork we ask for should be for world building, not administrative measures that attempt to guard community integrity with record keeping. Most our time should be spent playing games.

4. '''No pulled punches''': We will not implement policies that encourage pulled punches and sugarcoating of game content.

5. '''It's better to ban one than lose two''': The integrity of the community will be guarded.


6. '''Open Dialog''': Provide spaces to members to community their grievances, make sure they feel comfortable enough to share them.

7. '''Permissive, but not sugarcoated''': While we let our players play what they want, we will not sugar coat the world to make more oddball concepts work. We aim to achieve verisimilitude.

8. '''House rule philosophy''': We attempt to accept as much of Shadowrun 5E's raw as possible. If ambiguity gets in the way, we attempt to create house rules that preserve a version of Shadowrun 5E that is relatable to all players, especially new ones. We address problematic areas of the game like vehicle damage, melee with spirits, and addiction rules in ways that streamline and improve the player experience for a living community setting. We ban unsalvageable parts of the game.

=Article II: Organization Structure=

=Article III: GMP=
[[GMP]] must be carefully balanced to avoid building a progression focused culture and instead promote a culture that focuses on storytelling, the game, the community. As such, several policies are defined in this charter.

*Total GMP gained per member from all departments they are in is limited to 15 GMP/month.

=Article IV: Membership Rights=
==1: The Right Not to be Forced to Continue and Abandon or Cease Uncomfortable Scenes (Global X-Card)==

'''The ability to abandon or cease games or role play which makes any ShadowHaven member uncomfortable is a fundamental and protected right granted to members by the charter.'''

Shadowhaven shall treat the word “X-card” as a prearranged and unambiguous signal to end their game or roleplay without delay for any reason. This can be deployed both in voice chat, freeform RP and text based games. Members shall be able to deploy this safeword without retaliation.

Every ShadowHaven department is hereby directed to maintain policies to support any case where a player or GM uses this measure and promote the use of the “X-card” safeword across ShadowHaven, particularly among shy members. In particular, the thematics in their GM oversight role and moderation teams.

The “X-card” safeword may be activated via text, voice or PM. It may be used in the voice chat, private PM to the game master, or by messaging a member of the council, moderation team, or Shadow Haven Staff in private to request they step in and stop the game.. A member need not have made their discomfort known prior to using the X-card. Members may feel free to disconnect from the game before deploying this safeword. Members may use this in any way they feel most comfortable. Any means a member feels most comfortable with using are acceptable. If anonymity is requested when using the X-Card, it is to be protected.

ShadowHaven as an organization cares more about player safety than storylines. We have many tools at our disposal to ensure the storyline continues, but only after we have taken care of our priority towards player safety. This is not a tool of last resort, nor is it a replacement for other conversations around sensitive topics. However, we are exploring a dark world in a freeform fashion with complete strangers. We have complete trust in our members to explore these topics in a mature way. However, sometimes we stumble and need a safety net. This is especially true in our voice and text chat based environment where we do not have body language to detect discomfort.

The best response to the deployment of an “X-card” is to take a break and either talk to the involved parties or have a moderation/thematics member do it for you. The involved party shall need not reveal what is happening.

All members of the ShadowHaven community shall treat the use of the X-Card with respect and maturity. There shall be zero tolerance for hostile actions made in retaliation against someone for using the X-Card.

==2: Have a leadership decisions reviewed by the community at large.==

The Topics for Discussion thread, in the old days, was a place for public debate over the course of the community. With Discord, that has fallen to the way side, yet we consider this public stage for discussion the community to be vital. Thus, after going through the normal for changing or appealing a decisions, members may submit their proposals to the SysOp via the normal ticket process or [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScEOnD5kbByPuPZ3P825uyRNOhtTSIiNFndJ86TRO-P9MxtUA/viewform via this anonymous form]. If submitted in good faith, the sysop will make a discord channel for the public debate of that issue. 2 to 3 weeks after the start of that debate, the council will vote on the topic again with the knowledge gained from these discussions in mind. Please note, these discussions must be in good faith. Should the discussion spiral into toxicity, the sysop may cancel the public comment period.

= Article V: Play Testing =
Shadowrun 5th edition represents an exceptionally complicated game. With the lackluster release of 6th edition, exceptional steps need to be taken to keep 5th edition fresh and exciting. There is also no more chance for major errata from CGL to address issues that the community as a whole acknowledges as issues. To this end, we need a robust policy to allow for experimental play features to be deployed to game.

The council may vote to release a proposed gameplay feature to play test. These are optional to engage with. Gamemasters must clearly indicate in the body and title of their posts if they are using play test rules. The Editor-at-Large for the Wiki is direct to maintain a list of active play tests on the wiki. Game masters and players are directed to do their best in completing feedback forms associated with a play test or note their observations to a council member.

In addition, gamemasters may decide to make their run Canon or Non-Canon to play test a game play feature. If the game is Non-Canon, the gamemaster and players involved are awarded 12 [[GMP]]. This award is subject to the normal policies on award increased for long runs as listed in the GM rules.

To further stress test these experimental ideas, game masters may accept custom character sheets at post-gen karma levels in non-canon games. It will be the game master's responsibility to check these characters designed to stress test a proposed feature. The council may set GMP bounties on custom character sheets to explore problematic edge cases.

Professional Rating and Threat Level System Draft

2021-10-16T22:36:15Z

DrBurst: /* Threat Level */

Grunts have two stats that describe their effectiveness.

==Professional Rating==

As described in more detail on pages 379 and 380 in the core rule book, the Professional Rating scale dictates the training and mental fortitude of the unit.

* PR 0 - Untrained (Mall cops and thugs)
* PR 1 and PR 2 - Semi-trained (Recruit soldiers, rookie cops, gangers and security staff)
* PR 3 and PR 4 - Trained (Organized crime members, Professional bodyguards, experienced cops, and typical mercenary units)
* PR 5 and PR 6 - Elite (HTR, Swat and Special forces)

==Threat Level==

This is the Haven house ruled measuring scale for how threatening an NPC is. The Threat Level scale is derived from fitting a function to all the known CGL statted units.

If a unit's TL exceeds their PR, they will be treated as a less disposable unit. If things are going south for a team composed of multiple grunts, the high TL unit will try to escape to reduce the loss of resources to the grunt's faction.

The Threat Level system is as follows.

{| class="wikitable"

'''Vehicles:''' Use these rules to stat out the controlling rigger or driver. Consider vehicles at the unit level and use thematically appropriate vehicles.

'''Gear:''' Limit gangers to availability 12 or lower. Restrict corporate units to operate in a non-extraterritorial land to 19 lower with no forbidden items unless they are acting as law enforcement. Extraterritorial corporate units can have forbidden gear.

'''Decks:''' Ignore the cost of a deck in building your grunt. Pick any deck that is their threat level minus one in device rating with a floor of one.

'''Comlinks and RCCs:''' Device Rating of these are limited to the threat level.

'''Qualities''': If you put a quality on a grunt, you have a massive thematic weight since everyone in that unit is trained to have that quality. So, for example, if you put sharpshooter or strive for perfection on a grunt, it should come up in legwork that this unit spends hours at the range perfecting their shooting. Generally, avoid using qualities on grunts but if you do, weave that grunt quality into a major aspect of their background.

'''Skill Specializations''': Avoid skill specializations unless the unit is known for that skill. For example, Enduring Resistance protesters have a spec in spray paint to their artisan skill.

You do not have to spend every point available in a threat category. The thematics of the grunt are more important than squeezing out every ounce of power.

'''Vehicles:''' Use these rules to stat out the controlling rigger or driver. Consider vehicles at the unit level and use thematically appropriate vehicles.

'''Gear:''' Limit gangers to availability 12 or lower. Restrict corporate units to operate in a non-extraterritorial land to 19 lower with no forbidden items unless they are acting as law enforcement. Extraterritorial corporate units can have forbidden gear.

'''Decks:''' Ignore the cost of a deck in building your grunt. Pick any deck that is their threat level minus one in device rating with a floor of one.

'''Comlinks and RCCs:''' Device Rating of these are limited to the threat level.

'''Qualities''': If you put a quality on a grunt, you have a massive thematic weight since everyone in that unit is trained to have that quality. So, for example, if you put sharpshooter or strive for perfection on a grunt, it should come up in legwork that this unit spends hours at the range perfecting their shooting. Generally, avoid using qualities on grunts but if you do, weave that grunt quality into a major aspect of their background.

'''Skill Specializations''': Avoid skill specializations unless the unit is known for that skill. For example, Enduring Resistance protesters have a spec in spray paint to their artisan skill.

You do not have to spend every point available in a threat category. The thematics of the grunt are more important than squeezing out every ounce of power.

Professional Rating and Threat Level System Draft

2021-10-12T02:02:14Z

DrBurst:

Grunts have two stats that describe their effectiveness.

==Professional Rating==

As described in more detail on pages 379 and 380 in the core rule book, the Professional Rating scale dictates the training and mental fortitude of the unit.

* PR 0 - Untrained (Mall cops and thugs)
* PR 1 and PR 2 - Semi-trained (Recruit soldiers, rookie cops, gangers and security staff)
* PR 3 and PR 4 - Trained (Organized crime members, Professional bodyguards, experienced cops, and typical mercenary units)
* PR 5 and PR 6 - Elite (HTR, Swat and Special forces)

==Threat Level==

This is the Haven house ruled measuring scale for how threatening an NPC is. The Threat Level scale is derived from fitting a function to all the known CGL statted units.

If a unit's TL exceeds their PR, they will be treated as a less disposable unit. If things are going south for a team composed of multiple grunts, the high TL unit will try to escape to reduce the loss of resources to the grunt's faction.

The Threat Level system is as follows.

This is the Haven house ruled measuring scale for how threatening an NPC is. The Threat Level scale is derived from fitting a function to all the known CGL statted units. Threat level should rarely exceed the unit's Professional Rating. If it does, it should hold up to scrutiny. Typical examples include giving a PR2 unit a riot vehicle, fighter pilots with multi-million nuyen aircraft and fire fighters with expensive trucks. Typically, this higher than expected threat level for a unit's PR rating comes from the resources column only. Increases in attributes and skill level are highly unusual and will need to hold up to a high degree of thematic and mechanical inspection before approval. Increasing the threat higher that the Professional Rating along multiple columns is discouraged and unlikely to get approval from the council.

If a unit's TL exceeds their PR, they will be treated as a less disposable unit. If things are going south for a team composed of multiple grunts, the high TL unit will try to escape to reduce the loss of resources to the grunt's faction.

'''Vehicles:''' Use these rules to stat out the controlling rigger or driver. Consider vehicles at the unit level and use thematically appropriate vehicles.

'''Gear:''' Limit gangers to availability 12 or lower. Restrict corporate units to operate in a non-extraterritorial land to 19 lower with no forbidden items unless they are acting as law enforcement. Extraterritorial corporate units can have forbidden gear.

'''Decks:''' Ignore the cost of a deck in building your grunt. Pick any deck that is their threat level minus one in device rating with a floor of one.

'''Comlinks and RCCs:''' Device Rating of these are limited to the threat level.

You do not have to spend every point available in a threat category. It is fine to have a threat level 5 pilot flying a VTOL, for example, making the combined unit threat level 8. Avoid skill specializations unless the unit is known for that skill. For example, Enduring Resistance protesters have a spec in spray paint to their artisan skill.

Professional Rating and Threat Level System Draft

2021-10-01T00:53:13Z

DrBurst:

Grunts have two stats that describe their effectiveness.

==Professional Rating==

As described in more detail on pages 379 and 380 in the core rule book, the Professional Rating scale dictates the training and mental fortitude of the unit.

* PR 0 - Untrained (Mall cops and thugs)
* PR 1 and PR 2 - Semi-trained (Recruit soldiers, rookie cops, gangers and security staff)
* PR 3 and PR 4 - Trained (Organized crime members, Professional bodyguards, experienced cops, and typical mercenary units)
* PR 5 and PR 6 - Elite (HTR, Swat and Special forces)

==Threat Level==

This is the Haven house ruled measuring scale for how threatening an NPC is. The Threat Level scale is derived from fitting a function to all the known CGL statted units. Threat level should rarely exceed the unit's Professional Rating. If it does, it should hold up to scrutiny. Typical examples include giving a PR2 unit a riot vehicle, fighter pilots with multi-million nuyen aircraft and fire fighters with expensive trucks. Typically, this higher than expected threat level for a unit's PR rating comes from the resources column only. Increases in attributes and skill level are highly unusual and will need to hold up to a high degree of thematic and mechanical inspection before approval. Increasing the threat higher that the Professional Rating along multiple columns is discouraged and unlikely to get approval from the council.

If a unit's TL exceeds their PR, they will be treated as a less disposable unit. If things are going south for a team composed of multiple grunts, the high TL unit will try to escape to reduce the loss of resources to the grunt's faction.

The Threat Level system is as follows.

Charter

2021-09-30T02:46:51Z

DrBurst: Head Roleplay Facilitator

This Charter has been set forth to direct the community representing the ShadowHaven living Shadowrun campaign, to facilitate a mature community of Shadowrun players playing together in an accessible manner, to provide guidelines for a welcoming community with strong moderation, and to collaboratively tell and enjoy a compelling and engaging Shadowrun story.

We explicitly do not seek to maximize the number of people in our group, but to focus on making the group as fun and stress-free as possible. We do not accept antisocial behavior here. We seek to create a space where every member feels free to bring up issues that they may have and can expect civil dialog on the topic. We understand that the time and energy of our members is preciously limited and aim to make time spent here as joyous as possible. We set strong boundaries on the type of gameplay and community we expect while acknowledging and accepting that some may not fit with us. However, we are more than happy to play with anyone to see if there is a fit.


=Article I: Guiding Principles=

1. '''Freedom to pick''': GMs being free to choose their players and players being free to choose their GMs creates accountability on the part of all people involved to play the game in good faith.

2. '''Trust each other''': Our players and GMs can trust each other for anyone who dares violate that trust will be removed.

3. '''We’re Busy, Slot Paperwork''': Our member’s time is valuable. Any paperwork we ask for should be for world building, not administrative measures that attempt to guard community integrity with record keeping. Most our time should be spent playing games.

4. '''No pulled punches''': We will not implement policies that encourage pulled punches and sugarcoating of game content.

5. '''It's better to ban one than lose two''': The integrity of the community will be guarded.


6. '''Open Dialog''': Provide spaces to members to community their grievances, make sure they feel comfortable enough to share them.

7. '''Permissive, but not sugarcoated''': While we let our players play what they want, we will not sugar coat the world to make more oddball concepts work. We aim to achieve verisimilitude.

8. '''House rule philosophy''': We attempt to accept as much of Shadowrun 5E's raw as possible. If ambiguity gets in the way, we attempt to create house rules that preserve a version of Shadowrun 5E that is relatable to all players, especially new ones. We address problematic areas of the game like vehicle damage, melee with spirits, and addiction rules in ways that streamline and improve the player experience for a living community setting. We ban unsalvageable parts of the game.

=Article II: Organization Structure=

=Article III: GMP=
[[GMP]] must be carefully balanced to avoid building a progression focused culture and instead promote a culture that focuses on storytelling, the game, the community. As such, several policies are defined in this charter.

*Total GMP gained per member from all departments they are in is limited to 15 GMP/month.

=Article IV: Membership Rights=
==1: The Right Not to be Forced to Continue and Abandon or Cease Uncomfortable Scenes (Global X-Card)==

'''The ability to abandon or cease games or role play which makes any ShadowHaven member uncomfortable is a fundamental and protected right granted to members by the charter.'''

Shadowhaven shall treat the word “X-card” as a prearranged and unambiguous signal to end their game or roleplay without delay for any reason. This can be deployed both in voice chat, freeform RP and text based games. Members shall be able to deploy this safeword without retaliation.

Every ShadowHaven department is hereby directed to maintain policies to support any case where a player or GM uses this measure and promote the use of the “X-card” safeword across ShadowHaven, particularly among shy members. In particular, the thematics in their GM oversight role and moderation teams.

The “X-card” safeword may be activated via text, voice or PM. It may be used in the voice chat, private PM to the game master, or by messaging a member of the council, moderation team, or Shadow Haven Staff in private to request they step in and stop the game.. A member need not have made their discomfort known prior to using the X-card. Members may feel free to disconnect from the game before deploying this safeword. Members may use this in any way they feel most comfortable. Any means a member feels most comfortable with using are acceptable. If anonymity is requested when using the X-Card, it is to be protected.

ShadowHaven as an organization cares more about player safety than storylines. We have many tools at our disposal to ensure the storyline continues, but only after we have taken care of our priority towards player safety. This is not a tool of last resort, nor is it a replacement for other conversations around sensitive topics. However, we are exploring a dark world in a freeform fashion with complete strangers. We have complete trust in our members to explore these topics in a mature way. However, sometimes we stumble and need a safety net. This is especially true in our voice and text chat based environment where we do not have body language to detect discomfort.

The best response to the deployment of an “X-card” is to take a break and either talk to the involved parties or have a moderation/thematics member do it for you. The involved party shall need not reveal what is happening.

All members of the ShadowHaven community shall treat the use of the X-Card with respect and maturity. There shall be zero tolerance for hostile actions made in retaliation against someone for using the X-Card.

==2: Have a leadership decisions reviewed by the community at large.==

The Topics for Discussion thread, in the old days, was a place for public debate over the course of the community. With Discord, that has fallen to the way side, yet we consider this public stage for discussion the community to be vital. Thus, after going through the normal for changing or appealing a decisions, members may submit their proposals to the SysOp via the normal ticket process or [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScEOnD5kbByPuPZ3P825uyRNOhtTSIiNFndJ86TRO-P9MxtUA/viewform via this anonymous form]. If submitted in good faith, the sysop will make a discord channel for the public debate of that issue. 2 to 3 weeks after the start of that debate, the council will vote on the topic again with the knowledge gained from these discussions in mind. Please note, these discussions must be in good faith. Should the discussion spiral into toxicity, the sysop may cancel the public comment period.

= Article V: Play Testing =
Shadowrun 5th edition represents an exceptionally complicated game. With the lackluster release of 6th edition, exceptional steps need to be taken to keep 5th edition fresh and exciting. There is also no more chance for major errata from CGL to address issues that the community as a whole acknowledges as issues. To this end, we need a robust policy to allow for experimental play features to be deployed to game.

The council may vote to release a proposed gameplay feature to play test. These are optional to engage with. Gamemasters must clearly indicate in the body and title of their posts if they are using play test rules. The Editor-at-Large for the Wiki is direct to maintain a list of active play tests on the wiki. Game masters and players are directed to do their best in completing feedback forms associated with a play test or note their observations to a council member.

In addition, gamemasters may decide to make their run Canon or Non-Canon to play test a game play feature. If the game is Non-Canon, the gamemaster and players involved are awarded 12 [[GMP]]. This award is subject to the normal policies on award increased for long runs as listed in the GM rules.

To further stress test these experimental ideas, game masters may accept custom character sheets at post-gen karma levels in non-canon games. It will be the game master's responsibility to check these characters designed to stress test a proposed feature. The council may set GMP bounties on custom character sheets to explore problematic edge cases.

Charter

2021-09-30T00:46:03Z

DrBurst: /* Duties and Powers */

This Charter has been set forth to direct the community representing the ShadowHaven living Shadowrun campaign, to facilitate a mature community of Shadowrun players playing together in an accessible manner, to provide guidelines for a welcoming community with strong moderation, and to collaboratively tell and enjoy a compelling and engaging Shadowrun story.

We explicitly do not seek to maximize the number of people in our group, but to focus on making the group as fun and stress-free as possible. We do not accept antisocial behavior here. We seek to create a space where every member feels free to bring up issues that they may have and can expect civil dialog on the topic. We understand that the time and energy of our members is preciously limited and aim to make time spent here as joyous as possible. We set strong boundaries on the type of gameplay and community we expect while acknowledging and accepting that some may not fit with us. However, we are more than happy to play with anyone to see if there is a fit.


=Article I: Guiding Principles=

1. '''Freedom to pick''': GMs being free to choose their players and players being free to choose their GMs creates accountability on the part of all people involved to play the game in good faith.

2. '''Trust each other''': Our players and GMs can trust each other for anyone who dares violate that trust will be removed.

3. '''We’re Busy, Slot Paperwork''': Our member’s time is valuable. Any paperwork we ask for should be for world building, not administrative measures that attempt to guard community integrity with record keeping. Most our time should be spent playing games.

4. '''No pulled punches''': We will not implement policies that encourage pulled punches and sugarcoating of game content.

5. '''It's better to ban one than lose two''': The integrity of the community will be guarded.


6. '''Open Dialog''': Provide spaces to members to community their grievances, make sure they feel comfortable enough to share them.

7. '''Permissive, but not sugarcoated''': While we let our players play what they want, we will not sugar coat the world to make more oddball concepts work. We aim to achieve verisimilitude.

8. '''House rule philosophy''': We attempt to accept as much of Shadowrun 5E's raw as possible. If ambiguity gets in the way, we attempt to create house rules that preserve a version of Shadowrun 5E that is relatable to all players, especially new ones. We address problematic areas of the game like vehicle damage, melee with spirits, and addiction rules in ways that streamline and improve the player experience for a living community setting. We ban unsalvageable parts of the game.

=Character Information=

===Summary===
'''"Im a Deist, and a Shadowrunner. That means i know this whole World is so fucked up that even God turned his back on us.Now its our Duty to make him look at us again."'''

Lazarus is an oddity, even in the shadows.
The almost 2m tall, one-armed orc, is not particularly pretty. His ochre skin reminds of the dirt of the streets, and his obvious cyber arm has made more than one passerby change the side of the road.
However, once you start talking to him, you'll be pleasantly surprised. Behind the facade of the tough street samurai hides a well-read mind and a gifted speaker. He tries to hide his real purpose from strangers, too bad are the experiences he made after his rescue.

===Goals===
* Form a Christian Biker Gang
* Protect Trogs from Harm
* Search Informations about his family history

==Background==

'''"Our Names tell others who we are. Lazarus means "God has helped." Thats what happened to me."'''

Dorian grew up as a street kid in the Barrens. When he was old enough and had saved enough money, he made an effort to "move" to the orc underground to live a comparatively safe life there. The day of the move, however, was anything but a lucky day. His group was buried in a tunnel collapse, and most of them died in the first few days. Dorian himself was seriously injured, and in the end his left arm had to be amputated while still in the tunnel. At one point, only two people were left alive besides him: A priest and a cyberdoc, who couldn't stand each other. Dorian himself stuck to the cyberdoc during the first days, because he had saved his life by amputating and cauterizing the wound.

In the course of time, however, the cynical cyberdoc became more and more unsympathetic to him, and he conversed more often with the priest. Thus he got to know and appreciate the Christian religion and especially the story of St. Lazarus. The worse it was for him when they could be saved a few hours after the death of the priest. The cyberdoc took him under his wing, but Dorian was really enthusiastic only about the priest, who had shared all his supplies from the day of the collapse and in his eyes had died only because of it.

For the doc, Dorian was little more than a cheap temp, sometimes even more of a guinea pig. He equipped him with ever new cyber and bioware, which of course drove him deeper and deeper into his debt, and ultimately into the shadows.

When he finally managed to break away from his obligations with the Doc, he stayed in the shadows, just as the priest had stayed in the dark with him. From now on he called himself Lazarus, after the saint who had returned from the dead, and of whom the priest had told him so much.

== Narrative Significant Qualities ==

===Positive===
* Common Sense '''"Why you shouldnt argue with a Hallowener? thougt this was Common Knowledge"'''
* Rable Rouser '''"How long have you suffer? This will end now! Rise up, against the common enemy of the people!"'''
* Trog Networker: '''"Kaa’u ya gru kom Siyaatul?"'''

===Negative===
* Flashbacks(falling rocks) '''Sometimes Lazarus is reminded of the Collapse'''
* Favored (Biased,Trog) '''Love your Neighbor as you love yourself.'''
* Implant induced Immune Deficiency '''"Damn Ware!"'''
* One Born every Minute '''"How can i help myself, if i am not willing to help others?"'''

===Summary===
'''"Im a Deist, and a Shadowrunner. That means i know this whole World is so fucked up that even God turned his back on us.Now its our Duty to make him look at us again."'''

Lazarus is an oddity, even in the shadows.
The almost 2m tall, one-armed orc, is not particularly pretty. His ochre skin reminds of the dirt of the streets, and his obvious cyber arm has made more than one passerby change the side of the road.
However, once you start talking to him, you'll be pleasantly surprised. Behind the facade of the tough street samurai hides a well-read mind and a gifted speaker. He tries to hide his real purpose from strangers, too bad are the experiences he made after his rescue.

===Goals===
* Form a Christian Biker Gang
* Protect Trogs from Harm
* Search Informations about his family history

==Background==

'''"Our Names tell others who we are. Lazarus means "God has helped." Thats what happened to me."'''

Dorian grew up as a street kid in the Barrens. When he was old enough and had saved enough money, he made an effort to "move" to the orc underground to live a comparatively safe life there. The day of the move, however, was anything but a lucky day. His group was buried in a tunnel collapse, and most of them died in the first few days. Dorian himself was seriously injured, and in the end his left arm had to be amputated while still in the tunnel. At one point, only two people were left alive besides him: A priest and a cyberdoc, who couldn't stand each other. Dorian himself stuck to the cyberdoc during the first days, because he had saved his life by amputating and cauterizing the wound.

In the course of time, however, the cynical cyberdoc became more and more unsympathetic to him, and he conversed more often with the priest. Thus he got to know and appreciate the Christian religion and especially the story of St. Lazarus. The worse it was for him when they could be saved a few hours after the death of the priest. The cyberdoc took him under his wing, but Dorian was really enthusiastic only about the priest, who had shared all his supplies from the day of the collapse and in his eyes had died only because of it.

For the doc, Dorian was little more than a cheap temp, sometimes even more of a guinea pig. He equipped him with ever new cyber and bioware, which of course drove him deeper and deeper into his debt, and ultimately into the shadows.

When he finally managed to break away from his obligations with the Doc, he stayed in the shadows, just as the priest had stayed in the dark with him. From now on he called himself Lazarus, after the saint who had returned from the dead, and of whom the priest had told him so much.

* Favored (Biased,Trog) '''Love your Neighbor as you love yourself.'''

=Character Information=

===Summary===
A SURGE wishing to be a star and spread her voice to those who truly need it.
===Goals===
Become a global star.
Revenge against those that assassinated her family.
==Background==
Violet had always wanted to be a star, ever since she could remember really. To sing..to dance, to perform, it meant everything to her. To perform...to dance..to be on stage in
front of everyone made her eyes twinkle and shine. Of course her parents never truly understood why she desperately needed to practice. But nonetheless they supported their
little girl.. The road to fame was difficult...it took a lot of effort, a lot of taking insults to the face..but after her voice was discovered..she soared. Higher and higher, people gradually began to say her name, and finally..her smile, of course along with her music, began to be something she was incredibly known for. Of course, after sometime, she
eventually lost her parents. An incident people had said. A tragedy some had said. But Vi...Vi knew. Violet knew that the world was a dark place and some accidents are only
perceived as such to the innocents. Sometimes in order to adjust to the knowledge of such a place is to become dark with it. And so..she had to take up more..interesting skills up. So it began as a side thing, singing and happy on stage, beaming with happiness on the outside, and scaling cities and learning as many dark secrets as she can about those
in power. Then among one of her information gatherings she had heard of a group called 'ShadowHaven' from a weird elf named Nogitsune and a plan began to surface in her mind. If she's truly going to learn
something about those in their high places..she's going to need something that allows her to see more..and make sure to learn enough to deliver a punch to their face they won't ever forget.
