Swords and Spoons in Store Play Policies

In-Play Policies at Swords and Spoons

To keep our gaming space safe, fun, and fair for everyone, we ask all participants—especially during youth events and public play sessions—to follow these simple rules:

🚫 No Bullying

Kindness and respect are core to the gaming community. Bullying, teasing, or targeting other players will not be tolerated. Treat everyone as a teammate and fellow adventurer.

🚫 No Stealing

All property—yours, others’, or the store’s—must be respected. Taking anything that isn’t yours will result in immediate removal from the event and possible ban from future participation.

🚫 No Cheating

Whether it's fudging dice rolls, hiding cards, or misrepresenting rules—cheating spoils the fun for everyone. Play fair and be honest.

🚫 No Coaching During Competitive Play

Helping other players during tournaments or competitive sessions (unless explicitly allowed) is considered unfair. Let everyone play their own game.

🚫 No Running

For safety reasons, no running or roughhousing is allowed in the store. Please walk and be mindful of others.

🧹 Clean Up After Yourself

Leave your play space as you found it—or better. Toss your trash, stack your chairs, and respect the community space.

⚠️ If You Break It, You Buy It

Accidents happen, but deliberate or careless damage to store merchandise or fixtures may result in being held responsible for replacement costs.

🗣️ Use Kind Language

No profanity or inappropriate jokes. We want this to be a family-friendly space where everyone feels safe and included.

⏰ Be On Time

Sessions start promptly. Arriving late may result in missing out or delaying others.

✋ Respect the Game Master

The GM is the storyteller, referee, and guide. Their rulings are final during play—no arguing, please.

🎮 Game Materials Stay at the Table

Don’t take minis, dice, books, or other store items without asking. If something’s borrowed, return it when you're done.

🧼 Practice Good Hygiene

Please come to the store clean and fresh. Good hygiene is expected—no strong odors, unwashed clothes, or overwhelming scents. Let’s keep the space comfortable for everyone.
