[QUOTE="Ipissimus, post: 4052385, member: 41514"] The problem with the 120 Days of Sodom in relation to the Drow is the extreme patriarchal bent. The pure hatred of women it not only extoles but moralizes wouldn't be acceptable to the Drow under any circumstance. Aside from that, where the acts depicted might amuse the truely evil, the Drow are still Elves and, as such, I personally think that they'd see the tortures he describes as childish and unrefined (even unrealistic in certain places). Though, with Drow sadism being well documented, supplying some victims for the party or even demonstrations by professionals might be included (if you want to go there) as performance art. Slaves encouraged to fight to the death with various impliments for sport are also likely. Feeding victims to various spiders probably also popular. Buffets made of the most exotic food imaginable, ingredients including those culled from sentient beings probably on the menu. Magical displays, from the benign to the murderous, would probably be extremely popular. This could even be a way of advertizing newly developed spells or showing off to your collegues and gaining status without running the risk of being murdered for the spell/item on the spot or challenged to a spellduel. If I remember right, the Menzoberranzan box set has some interesting games that Drow play based on thier paranoia. Drow may consent to temporary sensory depravation so they may focus on a single sense at a time and delight all the more in that single sensation by focusing upon it to the exclusion of all else. Again if you want to go there, narcotics are probably yet another attraction, with most Drow being too paranoid to allow themselves to get wasted at any other time. Of course, the biggest question is who hosts these parties? He or she would have to assure the party-goers that they are capable of insuring everyone's safety during the proceedings and remain completely neutral in the heirarchical struggles of the city.
