I just sometimes get the feeling that those type of games are feeding peoples' mental illnesses. You should never have to hear somebody describe an action that turns your stomach and I always wonder if people that are into that are actually getting off on it. You should never have to sit at a table where you even begin to wonder if anybody there gets off on torture.As such, I have passed on a lot of games of Vampire etc. I love political intrigue, so it is a shame. That game just seems to bring out the crazies around here and with no good guys and immoral/monstrous PCs, from the stories I heard from my FLGS I am glad I missed it.<edit> Come to think of it, the mental illness thing can be a deal breaker for me. I love and support a bunch of folks with such illnesses, but I won't play RPGs with many of them. I don't want to have to worry about Bob flying into a rage if something happens to his character, or Susan falling to deeper self-loathing from a bad game, or Amy thinking that Frank hates her personally because his character did X. Not to mention the closet sadist wanting to play at murderhobo. I've had all of these experiences at my tables in the past, I just don't think some people have the social skills, maturity or mental resilience for RPGs. I don't want to sound like Jack Chick but I think people with certain combinations of psych issues need to find another hobby.</blockquote>
