Dungeon Rules

Our dungeon monitors are here to ensure safe scening, to assist or to advise in technical aspects of scene set-up, to react to any emergencies, and to assist people who feel uncomfortable with the attentions of others.

The Dungeon Monitors will be wearing identifying sashes with large lettering: “DM”. A Trustee will be a DM along with either another Trustee or a community member. Our Dungeon Monitors are experienced, Dominants/Tops or submissive/bottoms. Please do not hesitate to approach them if you have any questions or need assistance with any of the above problems. DMs, at all times, have the right to end a scene, or to ask someone to leave the dungeon or modify safety techniques.
