[QUOTE="oakthorne, post: 7697359, member: 6799066"] Let me ask you a question along these lines. Will I find myself and my relationships in your game setting? Will the marriages in your setting be only between men and women? I'm not talking about some romance-focused game - but just the innkeeper and his croftwife, or the king and his queen. Does your setting encompass enough broad thought to include imaginary monsters and fantasy races, but not enough to include queer persons? And please, do not deliver on the "there is no orientation of any kind in my games" unless everyone reproduces by binary fission. It's there. You don't see it as such, but rest assured - we do. I'm not saying you have to have those elements in your game. But don't step up and pretend that we've got some "other agenda" for discussing those elements, my friend. We are all enjoying our explorations of various modes of fantasy world-building and -exploring. Discussion of relationships in a setting is just as valid as discussion of divine magic or draconic politics - except that queer relationships and persons (like political intrigue, medieval economics, and arts of swordsmanship) are something from the real world that we're interested in seeing in our fantasy. So we do what nerds do: we talk about it. There's a name for folks who show up to criticize those elements but not the ones other people discuss. Just sayin'. [/QUOTE]
