Age of Worms Content Warnings

[Kobold Catgirl]

Hello, friends! I've been working on launching another Age of Worms game lately, and I'm working on a content warning sheet using this excellent resource from the Consent in Gaming supplement written by Sean K. Reynolds and Shanna Germain. Anyways, it got me thinking the work I was doing might be helpful to others!

So, here's my (fairly informal) list of major potential triggers for each chapter. This list may not be totally complete, especially since I haven't finished the AP yet (my longest-running game is currently on Chapter Nine). I'm also not going to include standard Pathfinder CWs like "gore" and "violence". An asterisk is next to triggers that can be quite easily cut out, or that are entirely optional bonus flavor, such as the character of Constance Grace.
