[QUOTE="Maerdwyn, post: 870587, member: 835"] My line moves epending on the group I'm gaming with. In general though: Sex is handled off camera when it is in the game at all, which it's not when I play with younger teens. Necrophilia, Beastiality etc. have never come up, but they'd be, at most intimated, probably. Child abuse is out, for the same reasons as The Sigil. Interspecies relations: The idea sex between sentients of various species doesn't bother me. Still off-camera, though. Tasteful nudity in books doesn't bother me. OTOH, even clothed artwork will turn me off if it's trashy and gratuitous. (I've not bought much Avalanche stuff because of the covers. Their Celtic Age book is great, though, and doesn't have a cheesecake cover.) I don't want graphic sex depicted (either with words or pictures) in a game book I buy. Violence is in the game, but not usually graphically described unless I'm making a point and want to evoke a particular reaction from my (adult) players. Rape has been part of a story line recently, with the pcs wreaking vengeance on behalf of the victim. I have used torture and mutilation in the current campaign off camera, except for one scene in which a PC druid was captured by an orcish army that had been hunting druids. I and that player handled the scene via email, and the other players found out about it next session. Fiendish issues: The scariest villains, IMHO, are those who choose their path, not those born to or created for evil. My fiends are usually supporting cast, and act through tempting, or by briefly serving mortals. Usually on camera, although when DMing for younger teens, I have a chat with parents first, and use alternate villains if they prefer. Real world religions: I leave it out of my campaigns unless (as with my current group), I've talked with them about it first. I always leave them out when Dming minors. [/QUOTE]
