Community Values

Waystone’s goal is to create a space that fosters connection and belonging around a shared love for miniatures games.

Everyone deserves to experience the joy of our hobby without judgment on the basis of their gender, experience level, sexuality, playstyle, disability, religion, race or socioeconomic status, and without the pressure of unwanted romantic pursuit or demand for overt displays of political agreement and social savvy.

For example…

• We aim to be encouraging and helpful towards newcomers while also allowing them time and space to get comfortable at their own pace. 

• We celebrate one anothers’ autonomy, including choices about what games to play or who we play with, and value consent before engaging in any form of physical contact, photography, or handling of one another’s belongings.

• We deeply value political engagement, but keep Waystone a place for people to rest and recharge by reserving debates and discussions for direct messages or in-person conversation.

• We recognize that even though we’re a space for adults, it isn’t a place for demeaning or pornographic language and imagery.

If something bothers you (or if something you’ve done is bothering someone else), it is always okay to talk, listen, and (if necessary) apologize. Waystone’s staff is also here to support.
