Are you curious about what's involved in the role of a dungeon monitor (DM)? This training will provide a thorough introduction to the skills required to DM and is designed for both new and experienced DM's as well as event organizers.

This course centers on a DM-ing philosophy based on mutual respect and serving the community in order to enable a safer and fun environment for kinksters.

Course topics will include:

• Role of a DM in kink and play spaces
• Looking critically at event rules
• Scanning the environment for potential issues
• Enforcing rules and interrupting scenes
• Incident reporting
• Role-playing real life DM scenarios

This is a highly interactive class; attendees will participate in lecture, small-group discussion activities, Q&A, and role playing scenarios.

AdelineKindred (She/her) has led and participated on DM teams across New England. In addition to Tethered Together her involvement in DMing has included events like Bound in Boston, Dark Odyssey, NELA’s FFF and Kinky Con. She has also been a presenter for many of those same events on topics including rope safety, impact play, identity and inclusion, and D/s relations. Originally a Boston native, Adeline first entered the scene in Rochester NY before returning to Boston and getting involved locally. Today, Adeline lives in New York City and continues to be an active participant and contributor to the community at large. Aside from kink, her interests include cooking, camping, and all things goth and spooky.
