If we are not allowed to discuss the games and how they are played, well, what are we then doing here?I try to make my campaigns relatively gender-neutral, though I admit I do it more when I have female players (which I sadly don't have right now).Right now it's a little less equality involved, as one of my active campaigns (and the one we play every week, as opposed to the one we play every other week) is a fairly historical viking campaign.And I err favouring some sort of historical correctness over gender neutrality - there has so far been no female warriors for instance, and most authority figures have been male.I'll introduce some more important women, now that I think of it.The other campaign is much more traditional fantasy, although most of the 4e tropes are in it, and more gender neutral.Sex is basically a non-issue when I DM. Relations (with or without PCs involved in them) are there, but I'm not in to describing sexual scenes - much for the same reason I don't involve much about the basic physical needs, i.e. I don't know how to make it interesting to the story.When it plays a part in the story I have no problems with it, but it's not graphical. I can't see the point - I doubt I could arouse my players, and I think they'd be slightly embarassed by it.Sexual violence (between NPCs) is something I have used before, and would do again, for much the same reason it's common in detective stories - it makes people angry and involved.</blockquote>
