[QUOTE="Kai Lord, post: 873470, member: 3570"] The subject matter in my games is pretty much on par with what we've seen in the Lord of the Rings films, with an extra dash of over the top gore or brief nudity. So maybe closer to Braveheart. The gore isn't really sought after, more the result of "you just knocked the orc down to -28 hit points. Dude you cut him in half." And: "When you arrive home, you find your wife naked and very happy to see you, you have an incredible night of passion." If anyone wanted to give it much thought they could picture it like a hard R-rated film, but its just as easy to imagine the PG-13 variety, where the characters have their love scene, and you know they're naked, but they're framed in a way that nothing is actually seen. And that's how we leave it. But sex does occur, because the pursuit of love interests are frequent plot devices, and when you play characters who have relationships in their day to day lives, it sometimes adds to the verisimilitude to make mention of it. As for nudity in game books, I don't feel its appropriate but I have accepted it in the past if its very infrequent and doesn't call a lot of attention to itself (the 1E MM succubus, etc.) Any current or future product with so much pornography that the entire work itself can be classified as "porn" has never and will never come anywhere near my gaming table. Necrophilia and beastiality, never. Torture, rare and brief in the event that it does occur. [/QUOTE]
