[QUOTE="Chrisling, post: 405501, member: 6816"] I go as far as the players will let me, actually. And depending on their responses to some things, I guide the game appropriately. For instance, one of the players was making noise about her C turning eeeeeeevil as soon as possible. So, I wanted to make a point about the sort of things that evil people do not only to good poeple, but to each other. So I created a scenario where her character <i>could</i> be gang-raped. I just had a back-up plan in case the <i>player</i> didn't want to go in that direction. So, y'know, the bugbears broke down the door to her room and grappled her and held her down and I went into the other room with the player and told her what I wanted to do -- have her character viciously, violently and repeatedly raped. She blanched. She told me she didn't want to go there. I told her I had an alternative plan for just this reason, but then I told her that she doesn't want to play evil in my game if she's not willing to deal with the consequences of evil. I'd be more than happy to graphically describe sex if there was some reason for it. There usually isn't, however -- the players aren't interested in that sort of thing, at least not from me at a game table, heh, which I understand. It's sorta creepy when you think about one guy describing graphic sex with another guy with three or four other guys watching. *shivers* That half of my players are female doesn't help; I figure lots of female players would take it badly if I described the details of their characters getting boinked. But I'd do it if it was necessary to the plot. I routinely describe graphic violence. If you don't want to hear me describe a sword going in your foe's mouth and sticking out the back of their neck with the crunching of teeth . . . well, you probably shouldn't be in my game. Oh, with langauge, I say whatever I feel NPCs would say, and basically expect my players to reciprocate. I have no trouble having my NPCs swear like sailors, if appropriate to the character. [/QUOTE]
