[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7714961, member: 22779"] @771M, I wish I could posrep you more than once for excellent work reviewing this. And, yeah, looking at the blurb of the book and what you've written, I can see your point. This is more geared for educators, councilors and activists. I could see this as being something of a draw at con's as well. And, I think that the fact that you're supposed to sit down and discuss things after play is rather the whole point of the games. [MENTION=6867728]ArchfiendBobbie[/MENTION]'s point about consent is very well taken. But, wouldn't that be the whole point of the exercise? To explore that point of view and discuss? Years ago I ran an SF RPG (Sufficiently Advanced was the system) where I used these sort of hot button issues as springboards for the adventures. It worked very well. I had the right group for it. The different scenarios did drive a great deal of (for me and my players anyway) interesting conversation. So, a book full of these kinds of things might be interesting. Not that I want to do this week after week, for years, mind you. I'm honest enough to realize that I LIKE killing imaginary orcs with my imaginary elf too much to give that up entirely. :D But, as a shift in gears once in a while? Why not? Placing these issues in the context of a game sometimes gives people enough space that they can discuss the issues without necessarily getting tied up into their own emotional responses. If that makes sense. [/QUOTE]
