Proposal Type: Bylaw Revision
Opened: 12-Feb-2025 12:00AM EST
Closing: 19-Feb-2025 12:00AM EST
I, Chase Jelliffe, as Assistant Head Coordinator 1, hereby propose the addition of Administrative Bylaw 13.C through a ranked vote:
This proposal requires a Second.
The choices are as follows with more detail below
Choice 1: All players must be at least 18 years of age.
Choice 2: 16 or 17 year olds can play with written consent from a guardian
Choice 3: 16 or 17 years old can play with a legal guardian present
Choice 4: Reject All Choices (Bylaw 13.C is not created)
Choice 5: Abstain
Reasoning: This proposal is to set a defined standard for participation in the org. The World of Darkness is traditionally thematically unsuitable for minors. This vote gives a choice for games if they wish to allow minors with written consent from a guardian and/or have the guardian present.
Choice 1: All players must be at least 18 years of age.

But we also understand that there are potential players aged 16 and 17 who have this maturity. Their approval, with consent or the presence of a guardian, is part of the solution, and it is up to the Storytellers to check and organize locally whether the players are acting accordingly. Which, honestly, is already what is done in games, even in those houses that only have people aged 18 or over. |

| Cambridge, MA - USA, The Midnight Rose | 1st: Choice 1: All players must be at least 18 years of age. 2nd: Choice 3: 16 or 17 years old can play with a legal guardian present | Given the nature of the game and current state of the world having minors in play can create lots of legal issues. All it takes is something said wrong, a dark scene, someone not knowing there's a minor present and parents can sue or worse. This is no long the early 90's everything is recorded, documented and criticized to the extreme. |
