I feel like the director is treating me like a child by censoring with faceless kills. But that's just me being selfish & thinking of only my own tastes. I know there are plenty of adults that don't want to see the killing, so I'm not going to be overly critical towards a movie that only has soulless Storm Troopers & Droids dying left and right. Star Wars still had great battles!I've never really thought of it that way. I can see how that could be the case with some DMs. But then I'd say that those are bad DMs; which probably means that that issue is the least of their problems. Any scenario I throw in the game as a DM is just meant to liven the world up and get the PCs to react. I may still think a controversial scenario is interesting, but it's not because I get cheap thrills from it. It's only because I'm a cynical person that notices more bad things in the real world than good things. So I believe that by adding those bad things to my game world, it makes the world more realistic. And I want to see the PCs right a wrong since I rarely get to see justice in real life. I really see it as being no different than when I describe a clan of orcs murdering peasant villagers. I don't get all bent out of shape over that. So I can't really get upset by a rape scene in the game. Maybe that's what I'm not really considering. I don't have much experience playing under other DMs. I've only had a few DMs in my time. And being overly graphic is not something that I've experienced or even do. I glaze over things like sex when I DM because I don't want to be sexual with other people at the table for the same reason I don't call 1-900 sex lines. That's not a place where I need to go. It's all implied and maybe sometimes we'll get a little bit more involved if it actually improves the game. But I would never go into detail about how a guy is raping a woman in the game or anything like that. If you're saying that you've experienced your phobia in graphic detail during the game, then I guess what I've said in regards to that doesn't mean much. Cause that's a level of weirdness that I didn't really know about (players being unnecessarily graphic). I wouldn't walk away from the game because I'm offended by the scenario though. I'd be walking away because I think the players are being creepy losers and adding to the negative stereotype of D&D players. I try to make D&D seem cool when I play or talk about it because D&D is cool. I don't want to be involved in any form of D&D that is lame. And graphical rape scenes or anything like that is very lame.</blockquote>
