Are Your Games Rated G, PG, R, X, etc.?

[taliesin15]

R, mainly because of the taste of the players. I've had several extreme things which I've had to tone down a bit...the goblin child being raped by kobolds was changed to "being tortured" by the kobolds...somehow it seems like one needs some degree of illusration of the nature of Evil if the PCs are basically Good alignment, and they are wondering why they have characters committing genocide...plus the local brothel is presented more as the local "Houses of Healing"

That said, I've thought seriously about doing a totally G-rated campaign that would be heavily influenced by the aesthetic of Sid and Marty Kroft...the setting is an Enchanted Forest, one of the party's "friends" is a Giant Walking Talking Candy Cane, etc. I think it would be kind of fun to really play up the White Bread aspects

Another one between PG-13 and R. Depends on the game and such, but usually jumps around those two.

My game usually runs from PG to NC-17 due to gore and violence, language and such. Sexual situations are never describe in detail other than general overview. Shes a whore, courtesian, brothel, I take her to bed and such.

We play a couples house that has three kids 7,2.5, and 1 respectively. I find that anything that involves undead the 2 yr old describes as disgusting. The 7 yr old loves and gets excited about. I generally tone it down untill after they go to bed.

More so than the game itself I find that the players language makes the game more strict rating. I remember the 2 yr old saying F-Face which is a word patened by yours truly so we decided that a swearing curfew was enforced untill the kids go to bed.

PG to R. There is violence and sex, but we don't dwell on that and let a lot of go unsaid and off screen.

My last D&D game was PG-13 for violence, sexual situations, and drug use - my current tabletop Modern game is the same.

My PbP Modern game (see the link in my sig) will be rated R due to scenes of graphic violence including torture.

About the only completely taboo subjects in my games are rape and child abuse.

about the same here --- Nothing "R" or "X" rated happens on screen --

My Buffy game is spot in the PG13 camp too for violence, torture and sexual situations

PG-13, most of the time. There's a fair amount of violence (it *is* D&D, after all ), but we tend to not get too graphic. Sex is occasionally alluded to, but never "depicted on-screen." And, the language is rarely blue.

This all, despite the fact that the youngest of us is in her early 30s. Maybe we're prudes.

 

[Dark Jezter]

My campaign is rated PG-13 for violence and alcohol consumption. One or two female NPCs have been described as scantily-clad, but there haven't actually been any sexual situations (and if there ever are, they will definately be happening off-camera).

 

[Turhan]

Generally PG 13 but with forays up to R due to graphic violence inherent in chopping creatures and some people to chunks.

Generally I only detail significant combat between the PC's and primary foes. If they kill a goblin, I seldom detail the blood and guts bit.

All of our group is over 35. Brothel scenes are handled as a "fade to black" and if the PC persists, I tell them they can pass the time watching the others play DnD. Only one person persisted and that lasted about 10 mintues in game.

As for the paladin Trhead that prompted this thread, I'd likely allow such a paladin in my games.

Cussing is somethin that hardly ever goes beyond bland oaths: 'By the gods of War' is my favorite (My dad used to use that expression from time to time, and who knows where it came from). Others might be damn or dung. We don't like to let the real world into our games too far.

[Orius]

I'd say I'm in firmly PG-13 ground, occasionally slipping over to R rated for graphic violence. I don't include graphic sex in my games, and my players seem to be happy with it, I suppose they're more interested in killing things and taking their stuff. I don't slip into NC-17 because really X-rated means graphic sex. I'm simply more interested in keeping the game moving then describing something that doesn't really further the plot. There's plenty of swearing, but it's definitly in line with a PG-13 movie. There's lots of alcohol and drugs around in the campaign, but it's not the foucs of the campaign either.

 

[Bloodstone Press]

Rated R due to violence and adult themes.
