[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 381333, member: 4937"] I'm going to use the system suggested by seasong to describe my setting since it is seeminly more descriptive than Monte's. Adult Situations: Overall Strong Amount: Strong Graphic Depictions: Strong Taboos: Strong, due to references to Pregenancy, Abortion, Rape, Divorse, Child Abandonment, War, Genocide, Refugees, Starvation, Plagues, Death, Crime, Slavery, Spousal Abuse, Torture, Murder, Treason, Betrayal, Tyranny, etc. Adult Language: Overall Mild Amount: Mild (Tolerated only in places where it would be tolerated in literature. I use the 'Princess Bride' standard.) Graphic Depictions: Mild Taboo: None Violence: Overall Strong Amount: Extremely Strong Graphic Depictions: Moderate, usually one sentence. Details only focuesed on if they are relevant clues. Taboos: Strong, due to references to: Eviceration, Decapitation, Mutilation Other forms of exotic death and disfigurement Nudity: Overall Moderate Amount: Moderate, things are frequently nude or depicted as nude Graphic Depictions: Mild, things that are nude are refered to as nude but never described luridly. Sexual organs are generally not refered to, it being assumed that the person across the table can imagine what they like. Taboos: Moderate, due to references to: nude Children* *In a medieval setting this was not at all unusual. Sexual Content: Overall Mild Amount: Mild, generally rare event Graphic Depictions: None, always occurs offstage. References are usually implied rather than explained. Taboos: Strong, due to references to: Prostitution, Various Deviations From Norm, Rape or coersion Romance & Relationships: Overall Moderate Amount: Moderate Graphic Depictions: Moderate Taboos: None Crime: Overall Strong Amount: Strong Graphic Depictions: Strong (tend to research how crimes are commited) Taboos: Strong, due to inclusion of: PCs Are Criminals Criminals Who Do Not Pay For Their Crimes Decadent & Corrupt Authorities Glamorous Criminals Grossness: Overall Moderate Amount: Strong Graphic Depiction: Mild, precence noted but not described luridly Taboos: Moderate, due to inclusion of: Disease, Filth, Feces, Urine, Slime Vermin, thier eggs, and larvae Religion: overall Strong Amount: Strong, very pervasive in the campaign Graphic Depiction: Strong, rituals are sometimes described in detail. PC's are sometimes expected to attend services if not partake in them. Taboos: Moderate, due to inclusion of: Hundreds of fictional gods* Servitor beings that fulfil the role of demons Animal sacrifice Human sacrifice Temple prostitution Actually, I'd only see reason to be offended if the gods weren't clearly ficticious. All this is subjective. I voted mine as a standard campaign, but I don't have alot of a way to know. Some people might think it vile; others might find it vary light hearted (and hopefully infused with morality). Alot of things are included but I try to handle the situations sensitively and not luridly dwell on them. And for the record, I agree with Flexor. The most mature aspects of my game are not the ones having to do with sex and gore. [/QUOTE]
