ZE: Safe Haven Content Questions

Added 2025-09-07 17:19:13 +0000 UTC

I'm writing more scenes where you are confronted by multiple romantic partners (those not interested in a poly/open relationship). Some have asked to have private conversations.

1. In the scene that follows, you discuss your relationship with one of your romantic partners. If you want to try to stay with them, do you think it should be based on their personality alone or a skill check? Or a combination of both?

For example, say you are dealing with Madison. She's a volatile, sometimes confident partner but she also shows moments of vulnerability. Do you think she can be persuaded to stay with you if she thinks you are interested in someone else? Do you think a Persuasion check would be reasonable?

2. Also, would you want to deal with a cheating scenario? Let's say that your partner may cheat on you. That can be a particularly difficult scenario for players. Do you think I should avoid writing them in the game? Or do you think there should be a warning, or that you should be asked whether or not such content is allowed in the game?

For those of you who need an example, say you walked in on Madison making out with Kevin, or Reilly making out with Gina?
