Most of the PC's are usually sexually active, though rarely with each other. Marriage happens, relationships are strained or grow closer and stronger, they fall in and out of love, use sex as a bargaining chip or intimidation tactic, children are made and taken care of; it strengthens loyalty, heightens betrayal, is a driving force and a sideline, gets them in and out of trouble, etc. In short, pretty much like RL. Graphic Violence: Depends.  For important battles or interesting combinations of tactics/die rolls/damage rolls, I'll get more descriptive. Usually 'you hit' has something added to it: 'He's bleeding badly but looks ready for more' or 'He's staggering; he doesn't look long for this world' to (one hit, one kill) 'He's standing there, ready to fight, then your axe just opens his throat up; he falls back, there is blood pumping in time to his heartbeat for a few seconds, then it stops', or 'He screams, falls clutching his leg; it's obviously ruined. Without healing magic, he'll never walk again', or (critical, leaving the guy maybe 1 hp)) 'You drive your sword through his side; he crumples, curls around the wound and lays there crying' down to 'He blinks, looks at the sword in his chest, then closes his eyes'.  Call of Cthulhu or other horror games get a lot more description, with as much analogy as I can put into it, which comes back to bite them at the oddest times. ('You get the normal salad for dinner, and it has these little diced tomatoes on it. Odd, how they look like Frank looked once that Star Spawn was done with him last year'. 'Waiter... I'm not hungry'.) Drugs: Generally as something being smuggled or sold illegally. Don't really have any religions that use them; the rare ecstatic cult will generally use the power of their god to achieve that state.</blockquote>
