Everything you have read so far and everything you will continue to read on this website about Dance me to the End of Love boils down to these principles of play.
This is the experience we believe in and which we will try to create together.
As A Player
Be safe, pace yourself, set your boundaries and respect those of others.
Be honest and kind to your fellow participants and considerate of their needs as well as your own.
Remember that, in-game and off-game, only enthusiastic, informed consent by all parties means that any interaction can proceed.
Be aware and respect, that boundaries can change from moment to moment.
Keep a clear head and stay safe to play with.
Always assume the best intentions, but not at the cost of your own well-being.
Always come to us, if there is a need or a problem.
Play to lift the scene and your fellow players.
Be humble in victory and gracious in loss; all are but moments of fiction.
Never forget that there is a real human being behind the mask of your antagonist.
As A Character
Mess up a relationship you’re in. Start a rivalry way out of your league.
Reveal a secret that must never be told.
Do something stupid because it feels right. Do something unforgivable because you can’t resist.
Plan for your inevitable end and run towards it.
When you get the chance, escalate. When you see a button, push it.
When your back is against the wall, go for broke.
