Arrow Events’ Code of Conduct

  • Arrow Events members must be at least 19 years of age & must show proof of age and agree to Arrow Events code of conduct & to follow our rules in order to attend private events.

    One of Arrow's missions is to foster a community that is fully invested in itself. The following sections outline what we expect from our attendees in order to help make that mission a reality.

    Expect to take part in conversations around conduct, consent, privilege and other sticky subjects. Arrow Events is dedicated to facilitating a culture of growing towards each other. Arrow was created to cultivate connection, education, and camaraderie amongst those in our community. Conflict & repair are a natural part of the growth process. Change is guaranteed & you're encouraged to change your mind!

    Ours is not a space to talk badly about others or other groups.

    Help keep Arrow Events running! Take a DM training from whiskey & get signed up for a shift or help with set up or tear down. Mutual aid such as car pooling, donations towards scholarship tickets and needed materials are essential to keep us doing what we do.

    If you are sick, STAY HOME! A negative COVID test taken within the 24 hours leading up to an event is required for entry. Masks are not required, but they will be available at the door. If you are experiencing flu or cold symptoms, please stay home. We'll see you next time!

    A.C.A.B.

    In this community, we police ourselves. DO NOT call emergency services unless directly asked by an Arrow organizer.

  • Play may be limited by the venue we're renting - specific party rules will be shared as relevant.

    Consent roundtable attendance and reflection submission is non-negotiable before attending an Arrow play party.

    Respect others, their space, their things, and their time. Do not touch people or their things without permission.

    Consent can be revoked at any time.

    "No" is a full sentence. Accept rejection with gratitude and move on with your evening. A person turning you down is keeping the whole community safer by listening to their internal cues rather than any external pressure.

    Accept the gift of autonomy - if you see something you don't like, move along to another area. Parties can be overwhelming! Know yourself and your boundaries. Be kind to yourself and take a break when you need it.

    Alcohol is not permitted at our play events.

    If visibly intoxicated, you will not be permitted to enter the dungeon space. You may also be asked to leave. 

    Arrow reserves the right to bar individuals from future events based upon their behavior.

    Arrow will facilitate ride shares for attendees that have been removed and have no safe alternative to get home.

    Our policy on CNC:

    An Arrow organizer AND DMs on duty must be notified of a CNC scene BEFORE it happens.

    Please no excessive screaming.

    Arrow reserves the right to deny a CNC scene.

  • 📸 Get explicit consent before taking photos of anyone but yourself AND specific consent to POST or share photos anywhere. Tag arroweventspgh on IG or Fet on photos you’ve taken at our events!

    Pay attention to your surroundings and be respectful of other peoples' scenes. Arrow provides signs that say "Do Not Disturb" or "Questions Are Welcome" for our parties so you can be aware of appropriate etiquette for individual scenes. If someone is using impact toys, give them enough space to do so as you're walking around.

    🫟 Prepare appropriately for messy play and clean up after yourself! We provide disposable puppy pads and baby wipes but please bring your own supply if you have plans to be thoroughly sticky at the end of the night.

    Around 45 minutes on a piece of equipment is usually appropriate for the amount of time we have dungeon access. Do not use objects to reserve equipment unless this has been approved by a DM or an organizer. Be respectful of the space and keep an eye on the time you're spending on equipment others want to use.

    🫂 Please feel free to move to another space to get your aftercare needs met and take advantage of the snacks Arrow always has available to nourish yourself and scene partner(s) after play! Do not "scene" in aftercare or introvert spaces.
