Content Policy

Storyforge engages with morally serious themes. The genres it supports — grimdark, noir, cyberpunk, epic sci-fi — all involve violence, betrayal, loss, and moral compromise. Characters can fail. NPCs can die. The dice are honest and the consequences can be heavy. That's the point.

What Storyforge is not for

  • Sexual content involving minors. This is a hard line. Claude will refuse regardless.
  • Sexual violence rendered for its own sake. Trauma can be a story element; it is not entertainment.
  • Real-world hate content. The game's darker factions are fictional. Do not use them as vehicles for racism, antisemitism, or targeted hate against real groups.
  • Harassment or impersonation of real people. Don't use the game to attack or mock real individuals.
  • Instructions for real-world harm. The game is fiction. Keep it fiction.

Content guardrails

Claude, the AI that powers Storyforge, will refuse to generate some content categories regardless of how the game is framed. If you hit a refusal and it feels wrong, report it — but if you're hitting refusals around the categories above, that's working as intended.

Storyforge is for serious engagement with dark themes, not for finding ways around safety systems. If you're getting refusals or the game feels like it's pulling back from a theme you want to explore, that's Claude enforcing content guardrails. Some of those are hard limits, some are based on framing.

The test is simple: would you publish this chronicle on the site under your real name? If not, it probably shouldn't exist.
