Checkmate! A FemDom Game Night & Play Party

This is a Philly Event!

Enjoy a night of games 🎲 and games 😈! From 6:30-9pm we'll be playing a range of board games, Uno, Code Names, etc. And from 9pm-2am tables and games are put away and the kinky night of fun begins.

This is a night celebrating lifestyle femdoms and those who love a femdom dynamic as much as we do! Use the game night munch before the kinky hang as a way to loosen up, engage, and discuss potential play during the later evening. Or use it as a way to relax after work and make friends as you connect with other likeminded perves. It is up to you whether you stay for one part or both. Choose your own adventure!

During the Munch

We will also offer folks the option to wear a wrist band stating if they are open to romance or not. Whether monogamous or ENM, folks will have the option to flag if they are open to romantic connection slipped in and around the board gaming. Feel free to just come play games and make friends. You DO NOT need to take a wrist band. This is just an additional option for those interested. The main focus is on playing games and having a good time.

During the Play Party

You'll be able to enjoy a wide range of kink equipment and safely negotiate play. There is no pay for play at this event. This is strictly lifestyle folks coming to have a good night play!

This is an INCLUSIVE event.

1. Who is Welcome?
2. This event CENTERS queer folks 🌈🏳️‍🌈. It also CENTERS BIPoC folks. Yes, we know the word "femdom" makes people think of straight cis women and straight cis men. That IS NOT US. We always get a mixed crowd and appreciate not drowning in cis men. Yes, straight cis men are welcome. BUT Trans folks, GNC, Enby, Genderqueer folks are all highly welcome. You are centered. Come.
3. Do NOT assume everyone femme presenting is a Dominant. There are plenty of femme presenting subs and switches who will be attending. Colored name tags will be used to help everyone identify themselves as Dominant, Switch, or Sub. The name tags will only be used during the munch. Afterwards wrist bands will be used to help identify who is who.

Have a game you love? Bring it! All your games are welcome.

As with all SheMagick Events this event centers Female, Trans, Nonbinary, and Genderqueer Dominants and the subs/kinksters of ALL GENDERS that love us. All are welcome, but know that we are a Queer centered and BIPOC centered group.

Event & Venue Rules

IMPORTANT - At check-in you will be asked to sign, along with a standard release, a copy of these rules. You'll be asked for legal photo ID to confirm the signature on the form. This process affords a higher level of security for all our guests. Please be assured that the signed forms are held in strict confidence under secure conditions by the venue owner (SiRoberto). No electronic records with personal information are kept. The only exception being the payment/registration information the Eventbrite platform collects.

Please read all the party rules below. Not having read the rules will not excuse you for a rule violation. The organizers and the DMs will enforce the rules at their discretion. Breaking of any rule may result in dismissal from the party with no refund. Serious issues will get you banned. All decisions are at the discretion of the organizers.

Please ask the organizers if any rules are unclear.

Make sure you to be polite and consent-focused when approaching someone for play. It is a good practice to wait until they begin socializing again after their scene and aftercare has ended.

Consent: We subscribe to an active consent rule where only yes means yes. We do not permit consensual non consent play at our events.

Touching: No touching of any part of the body of others without their expressed consent. This also includes items that may be attached to someone's body (such as hair, clothes, collars etc.) and toys or any other objects.

Approach: Only approach someone once for play. If they say, NO, do not approach them again in the evening. It is up to the person you asked to approach you if they have decided they would now like to play with you.

Harassment: Only interact with people who are willing to interact with you. Our events are not specifically designed for pick up play. Continued attempts to interact with someone after they have excused themselves once WILL be construed as harassment. The “only yes means yes" rule applies to social interactions as well. We will not tolerate confrontational interactions or drama. If you feel there's an issue with another attendee please bring it to the attention of a DM or staff person. Do not attempt to correct a situation which involves others on your own.

NO CELL PHONES OUT IN PLAY AREAS! Other than consent this is our other cardinal rule. Please do not make this mistake. NO photos in any of the play areas at anytime.

Derogatory language: Derogatory language is not tolerated, including comments about people’s bodies, appearance, nudity, gender presentation and orientation.

Solicitation: Solicitation or pay scenes are not permitted.

Default safeword: If top and bottom have not negotiated their own, the default safewords are “yellow” (to pause the scene) and “red” (to immediately end the scene). Addendum - If you are a bottom who finds themselves in a predicament where your pre-negotiated safeword is not being honored. Please use "Red" to have your scene terminated by others on your behalf.

Scene interruption: Please do not interrupt or disrupt any scene in which you are not a participant. Often times ongoing chatter or loud voices next to a scene can be very disruptive. Please socialize in the social areas. DO NOT approach any scene unless your approach has been negotiated in advance. Tops and bottoms often are intently focused. Breaking the perimeter of their scene can greatly interfere with head space. Give scenes ample room. Do not talk to people involved in a scene unless you're invited to.

Do not talk to people who have just ended a scene until it's clear even their aftercare is complete. ie: they are up and about and interacting with others on their own.

Safety around backswing areas: Be mindful of straying into areas where someone is playing with a long toy (whip/flogger etc.). These folks cannot see behind them, they are concentrating on a target, not who might have just walked up behind.

Grappling/Wrestling: Only permitted in specific areas. Please ask staff or DMs for designated areas on any given night.

Sanitation: Use wipes to clean equipment after you are done using it.

Alcohol/Substance use: This event is BYOB. At management's/organizer's discretion, if you're intoxicated or under the influence of any substance, at any time during the event you will be removed from the event. You may also be banned from future events. Manage your consumption responsibly!

Drugs/illegal substances: No drugs or illegal substances are permitted.

Guns and weapons: No guns or weapons are permitted. (excludes knives for scenes).

Phones and electronic devices: No phones or electronic devices are permitted in the play areas.

Photography and recording: No photography or recordings of any kind are permitted at the event.

Smoking & Vaping: Smoking and Vaping are only permitted in the designated smoking area. Please ask if it's not readily apparent.

Equipment: We take special care to keep all play equipment in tip top shape and most importantly clean. However, be a good citizen and clean the play areas before and after each use. If you plan on doing a scene that involves additional soiling of the equipment like wax, paint, blood, or any sort of liquid PLEASE place a barrier down.

Time limits on equipment: Please be mindful of others and limit your time on any piece of equipment to no more than 1 hour. If you would like to be on a piece of equipment for an extended period of time please obtain the organizer’s permission.

Reserving equipment: Reserving or otherwise blocking equipment is not permitted. Please do not place your belongings on a piece of equipment and walk away. The organizers or DMs will remove your items.

Food and beverage: Food and beverages are permitted only in designated areas. Look for the signs. Bottled water is permitted anywhere.

Fire play: Fire play is permitted only in designated areas.

Blood/needles: Play with blood/needles/etc. is permitted only in designated areas.

Long whips: Long whips should only be used in designated areas.

Refund policy: There are no refunds for this event. This is true whether or not you have been ejected for a rule violation.
