[QUOTE="Krakenspire, post: 6506389, member: 6787754"] By adult situations I'm referring too all the uncomfortable stuff that comes along with playing DnD that is more like the Westeros than Forgotten Realms. Sex, prostitution, uncomfortable violence, torture, where half-orcs actually come from (nicely put - forced "mating") and also the other side of the coin - romantic love, relationships and marriages for PC's. My gaming group doesn't really go into these too much. We don't shy away from the abusive spouse situations or the bugbears selling villagers into slavery (undertone sex slavery...), but no one frequents brothels, chases women/men or ever has to deal with sexual abuse etc... As well as we are all straight guys no one is comfortable with "roleplaying" a romantic situation as we are not true actors and have a hard enough time being in character to begin with. There was only one romance in all my years and it was kinda hand waved..."You have grown quite attached to Milly the barmaid...she brings you beer". I think its partially because we play the game to suspend reality not re-enact the horrible parts of the nightly news. We want to fight the good fight against "overwhelming evil" and grand noble threats. By making the game too real, too evil it might become too depressing and basically ruin what we are trying to do. I also think its because no one truly wants to DM that kind of evil character. I have kids myself and the idea of roleplaying a character like Billy Kincaid [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Kincaid[/URL] I am certainly not comfortable with. Evil dragon that devours armies and turns kingdoms to ash yes. Child killer no. What about your campaigns. How do adult situations show up or do they at all? [/QUOTE]
