Similar to the "you awake in a dungeon, stark naked" situation mentioned above.NUDITY IN MY BOOKS: Depends.  I think the Avalanche Press covers are exploitative, and those women aren't even nude.  On the other hand, tasteful nudity doesn't bother me at all. SEX IN MY GAMES: Implied, but not acted out.  I am completely uninterested in roleplaying sex in my games.  SEX IN MY BOOKS: In novels, I don't mind, as long as it's well done.  In game books, I'm not so interested.NECROPHILIA: I haven't used it to date, but I won't rule it out.  If I do use it, though, it will be off camera.BESTIALITY: Yuck!  Never.INTER-SPECIES SEX: As with sex generally, implied is ok, but let's not go into detail.PREGNANCY: In my current campaign, the players are going to have to help a pregnant NPC get to safety.  This probably won't happen until they gain a few levels, but it's part of one of the plot threads.  HOMOSEXUALITY: I treat this like any in-game relationship.  Keep the graphic details off camera, and only implied.INCEST: Haven't used it.  Probably won't ever use it.  It's just too icky.POLYGAMY: Strictly an evil empire sort of thing.VIOLENCE: Well, D&D is about killing things and taking their stuff, right?  If the players go around choping enemies to bits, they're going to get blood and gore on themselves, and if they don't clean up they're going to stink pretty badly.  I don't hesitate to mention these things.TORTURE: Evil NPCs do this.  The players better not if they want to be back for the next session.MUTILATION: Well, one of the players threatened to cut off the hand of another player if he found it in his pocket ever again.  I'm working on a criminal code right now, and I think it won't be all that civilized.CHILD MOLESTATION/ABUSE: Slavery exists IMC, and there are many child slaves.  No way am I going to describe child abuse or molestation though.  Never.MENTAL ILLNESS: It will probably come up eventually.Generally, I think that it's important to make the bad guys actually be bad.  I don't mean "bad table manners and stealing money from the church collection box" bad, I mean truly evil and rotten.  And people like that do despicable things.  While I won't describe all of those things in lurid detail, I'll make it clear they're happening.  If I had any minors at the gaming table, I would tone things down a bit.  But we're all adults, so it's no big deal.</blockquote>
