Content Warnings
Fangs Gallery is a vampire game, and vampires really suck. Their relationships are inherently unbalanced and parasitic.
This game has a massive content warning for coercive relationships, many of which are supernaturally reinforced by Disciplines or the Blood Bond. You can opt out of some of this, such as being subject to the Blood Bond, but you should be aware that real shitty power imbalances permeate this game.
Main content warnings include:
Drug use and abuse, addiction, death of a loved one, loss of autonomy, religious trauma, unstable and coercive relationships, obsession, daddy/mommy/sire issues, mental illness, body horror, aging, abandonment, and cults.
These themes are central to many of the characters and plots in this game. You can opt out of any of these themes being included on your character sheet, but you may still encounter them during gameplay.
Some characters and plots include:
Self harm, suicide, sex work, dysmorphia, serial killers, explosive anger, violent ideation, intrusive thoughts, incarceration, police violence, housing insecurity, poverty, parentification, kink, kink reinforced by the Blood Bond, intravenous drug use, religious fervor, Catholic guilt, (vampiric) reproductive abuse, degenerative illness, predatory capitalism, and living with the consequences of your own actions.
These themes exist in the game world but are easier to avoid if you choose.
Homophobia, transphobia, and racism are mentioned in some backstories, but there are no characters in the game that hold those beliefs. War and draft dodging are mentioned in backstories, but they are not a major theme.
Options to avoid specific content:
Let us know on your survey if there's content you would like to avoid directly interacting with in your character and closest connections.
Some themes are woven throughout the game, so you may still encounter them during gameplay. Please see our content warnings above.
Feel free to get specific on your survey! For example, if you're comfortable with vampiric mind control but not roleplaying more mundane toxic power dynamics, let us know.

relationships in Fangs Gallery
Fangs Gallery relies on a web of connections between characters. Many characters have intense romances, allies, or rivalries. These relationships can get intense, and that’s part of what makes the story fun. Just as important is making sure you feel comfortable and supported while playing.
Romance in Fangs Gallery:
These characters are messy, and many have lovers, crushes, exes, or spouses. Most characters can be played as any gender, and queer relationships are centered in this game. Some relationships may be parasitic, complicated, toxic, or incredibly dramatic.
Romantic or emotionally charged scenes should only happen if everyone involved is interested and comfortable. You can always opt out of romantic or intense connections, in-game or out. You can also request a character without any pre-established romantic ties, though that will limit casting options.
We’ll post a player list on our Discord before casting surveys go out. If you’re not on Discord and would like to receive it by email instead, just let us know.
In your casting survey, you’ll be able to tell us players you’d like to play closely with, players you’d prefer to avoid, and the types of dynamics you’d enjoy or want to skip.
You can be as specific as you’d like. For example:
"I’m friends with Sascha, Lucita, Victoria, and Fatima, and would love to be connected with any of them if the plot allows."
"No romance with Anatole. He’s my brother, and that would be weird!"
"I’d like to avoid close connections to Aisling, especially rivalries or romance."
“Please cast me as far from Fatima as possible. It would be great if we don’t even talk to each other during the game.”
"I’d like to play closely with Theo. He’s a new player, so I’d like to play someone supportive and unlikely to backstab his character."
"The only player I know is Beckett, and I’d love a connection with them, especially if I get to backstab them!"
“I’m comfortable exploring the Blood Bond with Isabel or Jan, but not with players who I don’t already know and trust.”
We may not be able to grant every request, but we’ll do our best to balance connection requests with the rest of your survey.
If there’s someone you don’t feel safe playing with, please tell us. We’ll handle that privately and with care. If anything ever feels off before, during, or after the game, you can reach out to the organizers at any time.

Casting Survey
On December 15, we’ll send out a casting survey to collect your preferences for your character and the type of game you want to have. Surveys are due on January 5.
In your survey, you’ll be able to indicate what content you want to explore or avoid, players you’d like connections with, how comfortable you are playing a villain or morally dubious character, and whether you prefer smaller, more intimate scenes or enjoy being at the center of attention.

Workshops:
During pre-game workshops, you are encouraged to let your fellow players know if there is content that you would like to avoid.

Safety Mechanics:
Safety mechanics are tools that let players check in with themselves and each other. They provide a way to pause, step out, or adjust a scene if someone is feeling overwhelmed—emotionally or physically—or simply needs a break. You can always use your safety mechanics to leave a scene if you are uncomfortable.

Right to Refuse Participation:
We reserve the right to cancel and refund tickets in rare cases where a player is not a good fit for the game. This decision may come from survey responses, pre-game communication, or concerns raised by other players.
If you believe another player may be unsafe or disruptive to the game, please reach out to us at any time.
