[QUOTE="Retreater, post: 7644865, member: 42040"] I'm a veteran con-goer, but I don't know if my sensitivity is just up this year, or if my friends and I have gotten into some unlucky strange events, but I'm just curious what others think. We had a few odd ball adventures and a few unprepared or uncaring GMs. Most games have had at least one in our group walk out of. My friend was in a FATE game that required the party to side with and rescue a group of rapists. The one that I took the most issue with (and was actually there for) was a game of a popular space opera movie series that was essentially a bait and switch for an Old West murder investigation involving a cult kidnapping and murdering pregnant women and teens. The climax included naked pregnant women chained to altars, hearts being ripped out while we were powerless to stop it. The cult's ritual required sacrifices of pregnant women (nearly to term) and to allow the unborn babies to die inside. Our medic had to take actions to perform emergency c-sections to save the baby from the dead mother. This was in a Star Wars game. Most of us were visibly upset by the adventure. At least one of us said "not cool." Has anyone else found con games growing more offensive /adult themed? Am I being too sensitive about this? [/QUOTE]
