Added some structure and category.
The check-in mechanic essentially asks another player, "are you OK?". Unless you get a "''yes"'' from the other player in response to the check-in, you are supposed to [[Kutt|Cut]] and talk the situation through.
The check-in mechanic can be bespoke for a larp design, and can consist of any codewordcode word, motion, or combination that the community agrees upon, practices, and uses.
== OK Check-In ==
A commonly used check-in method is the "OK Check-In," developed in 2016 and debuted at [[New World Magischola]], a Nordic larp held in the United States. It is now used in many larps, as a way to ensure all parties are "ok" and to signal a need for negotiation or care.
#Player 1 flashes the “OK” symbol — with the thumb and index finger touching in an “o” and the other three fingers extended upward — to another player and establishes eye contact. This gesture means “Are you okay?”
