But then, my love of D&D came from some books with very...questionable characters. So I guess that gives me more leeway, and I run with it.1) Sex. I'm not interested in cowriting elf porn with any of my players, so it's glossed, but it happens, in all its ugliness and beauty. It's for sale in the seedy part of town. It's a tool for subverting loyal agents of an organization. It's something people do. It's a weapon for the truly evil. They know it surrounds them as one of the basic drives of all life, but I'll never need the Carnal Knowledge guide.2) Drugs. Yes. The FR drugs, the BoVD drugs, and several homebrows; the mild euphoric/sedative herb burned in the Temples of Peace (dope-puffing socialists*, every one of 'em!), khas leaf, a massively addictive euphoric that ends in madness and wasting death (it leaches mercury from the soil, so addicts are easy to spot by their silver-washed eyes), 'warbutter', a faintly yellow root paste rubbed into the skin that speeds reactions, enhances strength, and eliminates fatigue...but the excruciating muscle cramps and skin tightening as it wears off make it bad for you.3) Violence. Most certainly. Combat is bloody..."You deal 10 points of damage" is mechanics. "(Censored for code of conduct - imagine what happens with greataxe crits)" is a story, and reminds players what it's like in the world. Any tool I can suspend disbelief with, I use.4) Cursing. On occasion. I've whipped up a few regional oaths and whatnot that I use, but players have a lot on their plate and little time to think up everything, so modern swearing is more common - I just translate it in my head to the D&D version I use.In conclusion, I'd say R-rated, and quite possibly an NC-17 campaign. I've never had a group uncomfortable with it...in fact, most of my groups would be more uncomfortable in a squeaky-clean cartoon D&D.Edit: Forgot to explain my *. I'm from Canada, my entire government is composed of dope-puffing socialists. So I tend to bandy the phrase about. Apologies if I offended.</blockquote>
