Anti-Harassment Policy
D&D Live 2019: The Descent seeks to provide a welcoming, fun, and safe event and community. We do not tolerate harassment in any form. Discriminatory language and imagery (including sexual) is not appropriate for any venue, including any game sessions and any community resources such as the Dungeons & Dragons social media pages. Event staff (wearing Staff badges) will investigate all reported incidents of harassment and, if necessary, sanction confirmed harassers, up to and including removal from D&D Live 2019 venues both physical and virtual.
Harassment is understood as any behavior that threatens another person or group or produces an unsafe or non-inclusive environment. It includes offensive verbal comments or non-verbal expressions related to gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age, religious beliefs, sexual or discriminatory images in public spaces (including online), deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.
Conflict Resolution
1. Initial Incident
If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please first consider informing the offender that the speech or behavior is problematic and that you would like them to stop. Oftentimes, the offending behavior is unintentional, and the accidental offender and offended will resolve the incident by ceasing the behavior and/or apologizing. If you believe that bringing up the incident with the offender will have negative consequences for you or will only lead to further offenses, then please inform a staff member (wearing a staff badge) about the incident.
2. Escalation
If the offender insists that they did not offend, or if the offender continues the harassment after being asked to stop, then you will need a third party to step in. Find a staff member (wearing a staff badge) and let them know about the incident.
3. Investigation
D&D Live 2019 staff will investigate any reported incidents of harassment, seeking private accounts of the incident from all concerned parties.
Sanctions
D&D Live 2019 participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. If a participant engages in harassing behavior, staff may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender, expelling the offender from D&D Live 2019, or banning the offender from the Dungeons & Dragons user community.
