Acceptable content policy
This is a working draft for our playtest. We'll refine it as we learn, and it is still being reviewed by our lawyers.
What Inflaton is for
Inflaton is a place to tell stories together — in worlds that people build, through adventures that people write, at tables that game masters run. Dark, difficult and uncomfortable themes have always been part of good role-playing: war, loss, cruelty, injustice, villains who are truly villainous. This policy does not ban dark stories. It bans content that harms real people, breaks the law, or exists to demean rather than to tell a story.
Who is responsible for what
- World owners are responsible for their world: its setting, history, cultures, and canon.
- Adventure authors are responsible for the adventures they write.
- Game masters are responsible for how they run their campaigns and for what happens at their table.
- Players are responsible for what they say and do in play.
- Isekai XP is responsible for the platform, for our own worlds and adventures, and for how our AI characters behave.
If a world draws on a real culture, religion or people, we strongly recommend its owner have that material read by someone with real knowledge of, or standing in, that culture before others play in it.
Not allowed anywhere on Inflaton
- Anything illegal where it is created or played, including in Thailand.
- Sexual content involving minors, in any form, including fictional characters presented as minors.
- Sexual content at all in content open to others, unless and until we offer a clearly marked adult setting with age checks. (We don't, yet.)
- Hate content: material whose purpose is to demean, dehumanise or incite hostility against real people or groups for who they are — race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, caste, gender, sexuality, disability. A story may depict prejudice and injustice; it may not promote them.
- Real people: harassing, sexualising or defaming real, identifiable people, or using their private information.
- Targeting real-world places or partners: content that encourages harm, vandalism or trespass at real locations, or that disparages the venues and partners who host play.
- Real-world harm: instructions for weapons, self-harm, or other dangerous acts, framed as fiction or not.
- Other people's intellectual property used without the right to use it.
- Harassment of other people at the table — players, game masters, staff — in or out of character.
Expected at every table
- Talk about boundaries before you play. Game masters should agree with their group what themes are in or out, and honour it when someone asks to stop or skip a scene.
- Respect real cultures. Fantasy inspired by real traditions is welcome; mockery of them is not.
- Unreviewed content is labelled. Content that hasn't been through review carries a notice that it may contain offensive or distorted portrayals of real cultures and sensitive subjects.
Reporting
If you see content or behaviour that breaks this policy — in a world, an adventure, a campaign, or something an AI character said — report it. During the playtest, email us (see Support) or use the playtest feedback channel. Tell us where it happened (world, adventure, campaign, location) and what you saw. Reports are handled privately.
What we do about it
A person on our team looks at every report and decides what to do based on what actually happened. We act on whatever is causing the problem — a person or a piece of content — and only as much as the situation needs. Depending on the case, that can mean:
- talking to the game master, author or owner involved;
- pausing a campaign, or giving it a new game master so the group can carry on;
- pausing an adventure, or removing it from the list of adventures new campaigns can start;
- closing a world to new play;
- suspending someone's account.
There is no fixed order. If one person is the problem, we deal with that person and leave everyone else's game alone. Illegal content is removed immediately and, where the law requires, reported to the authorities.
