Message: <blockquote data-quote="sckeener" data-source="post: 2860464" data-attributes="member: 8801">tell me about it.  I ran an Ancient Egypt game for a bit (Mulhorand.)  Basing it on Ancient Egypt where in a society having children before marriage is considered a plus (but no adultery after marriage & plus in that the mother survived) it was quirky to explain that...in a death in child birth culture it made sense. In a high magic setting, it was silly.  I can still remember one of my Ancient Civilization professors at University of Houston telling a story of Herodotus describing Egypt...that in Egypt they had a cure for blindness and it involved the urine of a virgin...implying that there were no virgins in Egypt.what I eventually did for Mulhorand was considered the high fertility a cultural hold over and that pregnancy was still ok outside of wedlock...but that they had access to spells to prevent it.  I used the Valar Project's Book of Erotic Fantasy for the spells.The whole reason it came up at all is two of the players decided to get friendly with each other.  One player was using no protection (trusting her goddess - she was a favored soul) and the other disturbed by no protection (and not trusting in his god - a paladin)</blockquote>
