Message: <blockquote data-quote="sckeener" data-source="post: 3050528" data-attributes="member: 8801">Yeah that can be hard to judge.  Sounds like something to discuss with the DM though.I once had to DM a group that 1/3 of the party wanted fluffy bunnies Anime and 1/3 wanted graphic over the top descriptions.  There was no middle ground.  I either had to run an xbox game rated E or run a detailed M rated roleplaying heavy game.  I was bad. I knew curiousity would get them, so I agreed to give graphic handouts to all that wanted them.  In the game I basically just glossed over it making it an E for everyone game...though I did have trouble making it more xbox like.  I like roleplaying.  I really didn't have that much happen during the game that was over the top...It was sad for one of the players (part of the 1/3 over the top descriptions.)  The scenes most complained about were written by a player as part of her backstory.  She wrote it and I approved.  Picture a worse version of Abu Ghraib with female prisoners run by Shar priests.heck, I can remember one of the fluffy bunny anime group was disturbed by a dungeon adventure which had gnoll skulls hanging outside the hut of a good 'witch'...that wasn't even an addition of mine...another time they were disturbed when I described the inflict wounds spell as feeling the flesh melt under your fingers....(and just recently I saw that in an old <a href="http://goblinscomic.com/" target="_blank">Goblins</a> comic)in the end I'm just not sure it is possible to please all the gaming group all the time.  That inflict wounds spell was just one instance in a 10 hour game, but I got to hear about it for the next 4 weeks.  It is like watching the first Indiana Jones movie and harping on the last scene where the bodies melted and then exploded when the ark was opened.</blockquote>
