Standards Matter: Reflections from Contingency 2026

Audio Recording this blog post is written from TLDR: Back from Contingency, a lovely residential roleplaying convention in Sunny Hunny. Played and ran a bunch of games including Brindlewood Bay, Shinobigami, For the Queen, and Liminal Horror. Had some important realisations about modern safety tools—particularly the 'lay-off/bring-it-on' mechanic borrowed from LARP combat for emotional scenes.
