Consent Checklist

Consent checklists are becoming an important part of tabletop gaming for many players and storytellers. Various game companies and storytellers have created consent checklists for storytellers and players to use in their games. It can be a very useful tool to help avoid conflicts and players wanting to leave a game due to the content. I adapted Gehenna Gaming’s Tabletop RPG Consent Checklist.

A consent checklist is included in all 2nd Edition releases of the Chronicle Diary, but you can also download a PDF copy below!

This PDF is free and shareable. This Consent Checklist can be reproduced and adapted for personal use. It cannot be reproduced for profit or sale.

Some Important Reminders about Consent Checklists

The goal of a consent checklist is so all players can be engaged and have fun during the chronicle.

• The default answer is No

• Each player has their own boundaries and experiences

• Explanations and reasons are not required and should not be expected

• If you don’t want to discuss your answers with the group, speak with your DM/GM privately

• No one should be bullied or influenced into changing their answer

• Consent can change at any time, even during a session

• Any player can leave an uncomfortable situation

• Be mindful of elements in your character’s past or backstory that may be triggers for your fellow players

• Check in with your DM/GM and fellow players occasionally, or after a particularly emotional session, to see if anything has changed
