[QUOTE="Laurefindel, post: 7583416, member: 67296"] Similarly to many posters above... The themes of our games are pretty serious. Not too grim dark, but no forced humour from the scenario or "it would be funny if..." situations. The players are well able to bring it up on their own. The characters are seriously "made"; they may have their quirks, but no attempts to be deliberately cartoony, ridiculous, or blatantly inefficient. Gender-bending or racial/cultural experimentation are cool as long as no disrespectful stereotypes are used; respect too is taken seriously. No "pun" names either. The players play their characters seriously in the sense that they all have their characters to heart and see to their survival and growth, knowing that even the greatest heroes can have their flaws, or sense of humour for that matter. The characters themselves take their quests/tasks/duties seriously. Too much I warrant. We all take our hobby seriously, knowing that the main goal is to have fun, and that fun involves a good part of humour. There is plenty of laughter and jokes all around. TL;DR: Our time together is precious; more than our time playing our characters. We do not take our hobby lightly, which means being serious about allowing humour to seep in. [/QUOTE]
