[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 8462022, member: 4534"] A lot of Palladium games had them in the 80s as well. Below is a warning I found from an issue of [I]The Rifter[/I], but it does align with the content warnings that I remember. [I][B]Warning! Violence and the Supernatural The fictional worlds of Palladium Books® [/B]are violent, deadly and filled with supernatural monsters. Other-dimensional beings, often referred to as "demons," torment, stalk and prey on humans. Other alien life forms, monsters, gods and demigods, as well as magic, insanity, and war are all elements in these books. Some parents may find the violence, magic and supernatural elements of the games inappropriate for young readers/players. We suggest parental discretion. Please note that none of us at Palladium Books® condone or encourage the occult, the practice of magic, the use of drugs, or violence. [/I] And to be fair, there were a great many complaints when the music industry adopted the Parental Advisory label in the 1980s with such hard core artists including John Denver testifying at a congressional hearing in opposition. (I don't think a single John Denver song would need a parental advisory notice not even "Rocky Mountain High.") I don't think anyone really cares about warning labels at the end of the day. Oh, some people might lament them while others laud them. But I don't believe the bulk of your audience has strong feelings one way or the other. [/QUOTE]
