Kentucky State Roleplay — Trauma‑Aware, Structured, Professional.

Kentucky State Roleplay (KSRP) is an official division of The Lighthouse for Mental Health (TLHMH.org), built to provide realistic, well‑structured Emergency Response: Liberty County roleplay that respects real‑world experiences, mental health, and community safety.

KSRP is not a therapy space and does not provide clinical services. As a TLHMH.org division, we design our rules, scenes, and staff expectations with mental‑health impact and digital‑safety in mind.

Division Context

KSRP as a TLHMH.org program

KSRP is not just “affiliated” with TLHMH.org—it is operated as an official division, aligning its policies, expectations, and culture with TLHMH’s mental‑health and digital‑safety mission.

Official Division

The Lighthouse for Mental Health (TLHMH.org)

TLHMH.org focuses on mental‑health awareness, digital safety, and trauma‑informed community design. KSRP extends that mission into the ERLC space by modeling how roleplay communities can be structured, safe, and respectful—without sacrificing realism or fun.

“Kentucky State Roleplay is an official division of The Lighthouse for Mental Health (TLHMH.org). Our goal is to demonstrate that gaming communities can be both realistic and mentally safe by using trauma‑aware guidelines, clear expectations, and accountability.”

TLHMH.org does not provide therapy inside KSRP. Instead, it provides the framework, policies, and educational lens that shape how KSRP handles sensitive topics, conflict, and community culture.

Division Role
ERLC operations, training, and community standards.
Oversight
TLHMH leadership & digital‑safety guidance.
In Practice
RP boundaries, crisis‑RP limits, staff expectations.
Culture
Respect, accountability, and mental‑health awareness.

KSRP’s rules, RP restrictions, and escalation paths are written with TLHMH’s mental‑health lens in mind. That means some content is limited or prohibited—not to “ruin fun,” but to protect real people behind the screens.

Mission & Values

Why KSRP exists

KSRP is designed for players who want more than chaos lobbies. Our mission and values define how we operate, how we lead, and what we will—and will not—allow in our community.

Mission

Why we exist
To provide a realistic, structured ERLC environment that models healthy communication, trauma‑aware storytelling, and professional public‑safety operations—while remaining accessible and enjoyable for members.
  • Realism grounded in respect
  • Scenes that tell a story, not just farm chaos
  • Leadership that is accountable and approachable

Vision

Where we’re going
To be a reference point for how ERLC communities can integrate mental‑health awareness, digital safety, and professional standards without losing the core fun of roleplay.
  • Documented, transparent operations
  • Consistent, fair enforcement of rules
  • Members who feel safe speaking up

Core Values

How we act
Our values guide every decision—from staff promotions to scene approvals and conflict resolution.
  • Professionalism over ego
  • Safety over shock value
  • Communication over assumptions
  • Accountability over favoritism
Structure

Chain of command & leadership

KSRP uses a clear chain of command to keep decisions consistent and prevent drama. Members always know who to go to, and staff always know what authority they do—and do not—have.

Division Leadership

Top level
Division leadership oversees the entire KSRP program under TLHMH.org. They set standards, approve policies, and handle high‑level issues.
  • Division Director (KSRP)
  • Deputy Director / Assistant Director
  • TLHMH Executive Oversight (as needed)
Final authority on KSRP operations.

Command Staff

Department level
Command staff run individual departments (LEO, Fire/EMS, Dispatch, etc.). They manage training, SOP enforcement, and day‑to‑day operations.
  • Department Chiefs / Directors
  • Deputy Chiefs / Deputy Directors
  • Captains / Supervisors
Responsible for department health and standards.

Staff & Field Supervisors

Frontline leadership
These are the people members interact with most. They handle in‑server issues, scene management, and first‑line conflict resolution.
  • Moderators / Admins
  • Field Training Officers (FTOs)
  • On‑scene Supervisors
Expected to model KSRP values at all times.
Issue escalation path
Member → On‑scene Supervisor → Department Command → Division Leadership → TLHMH Oversight (if needed).
Staff accountability
Staff are held to higher standards than members. Abuse of power, harassment, or repeated boundary violations can result in removal from both staff and the community.
Appeals & feedback
Members may respectfully appeal decisions through defined channels. Feedback on staff or policies is welcomed when delivered constructively.
Operations

Departments & functional divisions

KSRP is built around coordinated public‑safety operations. Each department has a defined purpose, SOPs, and expectations.

Law Enforcement

LEO
State, county, and local law enforcement agencies focused on traffic enforcement, investigations, and community‑oriented policing.
  • Traffic stops, DUIs, and collisions
  • Criminal investigations & warrants
  • High‑risk incidents & pursuits
Requires training & approval.

Fire & EMS

Fire/Rescue
Fire, rescue, and medical response to collisions, fires, medical calls, and large‑scale incidents.
  • Medical & trauma scenes (RP‑safe)
  • Fire suppression & rescue operations
  • Multi‑agency coordination with LEO & Dispatch
Emphasis on realism, not graphic detail.

Dispatch & Communications

Comms
Centralized dispatch manages calls, units, and radio traffic to keep scenes organized and realistic.
  • Call creation & assignment
  • Unit tracking & status checks
  • Radio discipline & clarity
Heart of KSRP operations.

Civilian Operations

Civ RP
Civilian roleplay is where most stories begin. Civs are expected to create believable characters, not chaos machines.
  • Grounded, realistic character concepts
  • Scenes that make sense in a Kentucky setting
  • Respect for other players’ boundaries and time
“Quality over quantity” applies to civs too.

Support & Administration

Back‑end
These roles keep KSRP running behind the scenes: applications, documentation, policy updates, and community management.
  • Application review & onboarding
  • Policy & SOP maintenance
  • Community events & announcements
Aligned with TLHMH.org standards.
Training

Academy, evaluations & promotions

Training is not about gatekeeping—it’s about clarity. Members should know what “good” looks like and how to get there.

Academy & Onboarding

Step 1
New department members go through structured onboarding that covers expectations, basic procedures, and trauma‑aware RP guidelines.
  • Orientation to KSRP & TLHMH division context
  • Basic radio, scene, and conduct expectations
  • Overview of restricted RP topics
Goal: clarity, not intimidation.

Field Training & Evaluation

Step 2
Members may be paired with FTOs or supervisors to practice in live scenes. Feedback is specific, respectful, and actionable.
  • Scenario‑based learning
  • Constructive feedback after calls
  • Written rubrics for consistency
We coach before we correct—when possible.

Promotion & Leadership

Step 3
Promotions are based on performance, reliability, and alignment with KSRP values—not popularity or favoritism.
  • Consistent attendance & conduct
  • Ability to handle feedback & conflict
  • Demonstrated understanding of trauma‑aware RP
Leadership is a responsibility, not a perk.
Training philosophy
We assume people can learn. We explain expectations, provide examples, and give room to improve—while still protecting the community from repeated or severe violations.
Documentation
SOPs, training guides, and evaluation rubrics are written and accessible. If something is expected, it should be documented.
Feedback culture
Members can respectfully ask for clarification, disagree with decisions, or suggest improvements. We value honest, mature feedback.
Standards

Community rules & RP boundaries

As a TLHMH.org division, KSRP enforces strict boundaries around harassment, hate, and trauma‑related content. We protect our members first—always.

Community Rules

Out‑of‑character
These rules apply to all channels, voice, and interactions. They are non‑negotiable and enforced consistently.
  • No harassment, slurs, or hate speech
  • No doxxing, threats, or stalking
  • No targeted bullying or dog‑piling
  • Respect staff decisions and appeal process
Violations may result in removal.

RP Guidelines & Restrictions

In‑character
We encourage creative scenes, but not at the expense of member wellbeing. Some topics are restricted or require explicit approval.
  • No graphic self‑harm or suicide RP
  • No sexual content or exploitation
  • No graphic depictions of abuse or torture
  • Serious trauma topics require staff approval
Guidelines are informed by TLHMH.org best practices.
Why these limits exist
Many members have real‑life experiences with trauma, mental health, or crisis. We refuse to turn those realities into shock value or entertainment. Boundaries protect real people.
Content warnings
When scenes may touch on sensitive topics (e.g., non‑graphic mental‑health crises), staff may require content warnings and opt‑out options for members.
Enforcement
Repeated or intentional violations of RP boundaries can result in removal from departments or the community. We will always choose member safety over “edgy” content.
Operations

Dispatch & scene management

Dispatch is the backbone of KSRP. It keeps scenes organized, prevents chaos, and ensures everyone has space to roleplay.

Call‑Taking

Start of every scene
Dispatchers create calls with clear locations, types, and priorities. They gather enough information to let units respond realistically.
  • Call type, location, and description
  • Priority level & safety concerns
  • Updates as new info comes in
Good calls = good scenes.

Unit Management

During the scene
Dispatch tracks who is on which call, prevents overcrowding, and ensures radio traffic stays manageable.
  • Assigning appropriate units
  • Tracking status (en‑route, on‑scene, clear)
  • Balancing calls across the map
Supports realism & pacing.

Radio Discipline

Comms
Radio is not a place for jokes or side conversations during active scenes. Clear, concise communication keeps everyone on the same page.
  • One person speaks at a time
  • Use unit identifiers & locations
  • Keep it relevant to the call
Professional comms = professional feel.
Scene ownership
The first appropriate unit or supervisor on scene typically owns the scene, unless command reassigns. This prevents “scene hijacking” and confusion.
Multi‑agency coordination
Large incidents (e.g., structure fires, major crashes, tactical situations) are coordinated through dispatch and command staff to ensure everyone has a role and the scene remains manageable.
Ending scenes
Scenes should have clear endings: arrests, transports, cleared calls, or de‑escalation. Lingering without purpose is discouraged to keep the server moving.
Wellbeing & Accountability

Member wellness & complaint process

KSRP takes member experiences seriously. If something feels off, there are defined ways to speak up without fear of retaliation.

Member Wellness

Human first
You are allowed to step away from scenes, channels, or the server if something feels overwhelming. Your wellbeing matters more than any RP.
  • Mute channels or step out of scenes as needed
  • Let staff know if a topic is impacting you
  • No one is forced to participate in any scene
You are more important than the story.

Complaints & Concerns

Accountability
If a staff member, scene, or policy crosses a line, you can file a complaint through defined channels. We review concerns seriously and confidentially where appropriate.
  • Report to on‑scene supervisor or department command
  • Escalate to division leadership if unresolved
  • TLHMH oversight may review systemic issues
Respectful reports are always welcome.
