[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 8466703, member: 4534"] I've got no problem admitting that I distance myself from those issues and background most of it. Though on occasion such things might be an important part of the game itself. I've had a 1930s Call of Cthlhu adventure brewing in my head centering around an offshoot of the Klan and events which are kicked off because of societies' fears of miscegenation and the treatment of black Americans. Of course these are the villains. I wouldn't want to play in a game where players were encouraged to use derogatory language or treat other PCs or NPCs like crap because of race. I hunt deer on occasion and I have no problem field dressing one after I kill it. One year, I took my deer to get it checked at the station and the guy handed me a pair of pliers asking if I'd pull the teeth. (Probably someone's graduate project involved measuring deer teeth for some reason.) I shook my head no, turned around, and just walked away without saying anything. I can field dress an animal and not be bothered by the blood, guts, and smell but I cannot bear the thought of pulling the teeth out. We all have our limits even if they don't necessarily make a lot of sense at times. It's okay. I don't believe there is any one right answer. What's right at my table might not be right at your table. Hell, what's right at my table for this specific game might not even be right at my table for a different game. I feel the same way about historical reenactment. Or, as one of my professors called it, "historical theater." [/QUOTE]
