Announcement of RFR Banning Decision, Rickland Powell

Dear members of the RFR Community:

In light of yesterday’s news, we have banned Rickland Powell from Red Feather Roleplaying. This post on the Entanglement forums will make it clear why:

Several members of the community are in shock from the news. Rickland was a member of the New England larp community for decades, and attended a few Entanglement events. Needless to say, we did not see this coming. The linked post above has information about help processing within the RFR community. External resources include:

Resources for victims of sexual assault are available through the National Sexual Violence Resources Center and the National Sexual Assault Telephone Hotline at 800-656-4673, and Massachusetts provides this list of statewide and resources for sexual assault survivors.

If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline or chat live at 988lifeline.org. You can also visit SpeakingOfSuicide.com/resources for additional support.

Signed,

Sarah Walden McGowan, RFR President
Joy Perkinson, Conduct Committee Chair
