[QUOTE="Haiku Elvis, post: 8466398, member: 7032874"] I didnt vote in the poll as I couldn't find an answer that would match my aporoach. I would expect the characters and game to follow the social standards of the time (and least on the surface) for a lot of the structural flavour. For example I've been idly thinking of having a capaign set in Edo era Japan and if the characters didn't defer to a samurai as being a higher social rank, there would be trouble. (whether the characters decide they want to stir up trouble or not would be up to them). Where I wouldn't follow historic precedent would be anything relating to personal abuse, predudice or derogatory language or treatment. Before we would start it would be made clear any real historical predudices from this time will be waived or reworked significantly and do not give any player including the GM the right to use derogatory terms or be abusive or indicate anyone is lesser or doesn't have equal rights. Being a bully and a d*ck is being a bully and a d*ck. Playing "in character" is not an excuse. If this creates unrealistic scenarios, well most of us play games where we fight dragons. Realistic is relative. [/QUOTE]
