[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 870584, member: 7635"] NUDITY IN MY GAMES: Character in my game have been nude, but not usually for reasons of sexuality. (You wake up nake in dungeon...) I've used nude or nearly-nude evil cult sacrifices as flavor text also. NUDITY IN MY BOOKS: After the 13 breasts in the Book of Vile Darkness (yes, thirteen), I'm not as concerned about nudity in a rulebook. AS LONG AS ITS RELEVANT or TASTEFULLY DONE. SEX IN MY GAMES: Sex has been heavily implied in my game, but not mentioned. PC's have implied it, as have NPC's. People go to other people's inn rooms, or meet another out for a rendevous, but nothing beyond implication. SEX IN MY BOOKS: I see no problem with implied sexual encounters between characters. I don't need details however. NECROPHILIA: A heavy theme of necrophilia came out in a polymorphed lich and a young maiden storyline. By the same token, I once allowed a half-vampire race (like Vampire Hunter D), which had some implications as well. BESTIALITY: Never touched the subject. It was hinted weakly at about the shadow druids in my game once, but never followed through beyond speculation and rumour. INTER-SPECIES SEX: What? No half-dragons? tieflings? aasimar? genasi? vampyre (see above), half-gods? drageloths? need I go on? PREGNANCY: No pregnant PC's, and only a couple of on stage NPCs.
