[QUOTE="Treebore, post: 1281742, member: 10177"] I gloss over the raping in my campaigns, we read enough about that in the papers. Most players and myself, would rather avoid certain realities in a fantasy game. Rape is one of them. The dead bodies of the infants and children is another one of the things I avoid. Certain things about reality are horrible to contemplate and i leave them out of my games, unless I can think of a meaningful moral story to make out of it. I have only done that twice in 19 years of gaming. As of now, I have no intentions of ever using those issues as story elements ever again. Heck, even when i read the aforementioned books, i automatically skip over the ugly sections of the story. It is not something I want to think about when I am reading or playing something for the sake of escapism. Soldiers are usually killed in relatively fair battle, victims are defenseless. The imaginary death of something or someone who dies in a more or less fair manner is OK with me. The unfair slaughter and demoralization of innocents is something that I will intentionally avoid in any work of fiction. I see and hear far more of it than I want too in real life. [/QUOTE]
