[QUOTE="BrokenTwin, post: 8568534, member: 7017978"] SotDL goblins in particular seem to encourage juvenile approaches, which is why I started steering away from allowing my players to use them after the first few games. Or, more accurately, SotDL goblins tend to draw players who enjoy juvenile antics. I'm definitely not going to say SotDL doesn't have gross body humor baked into parts of its DNA (there's a Forbidden spell called Hateful Defecation), but it's pretty easy to excise if that's not what you want in your game. Having listened to Schawlb's actual plays of the game, he definitely has a thing for body horror mixed with crude humor, and it certainly crops up in different parts of the system and setting. Having said that, if SotDL isn't the game for you, that's fine. It works well for the groups I play with as a replacement for 5E with a grittier edge. Especially with the expanded Insanity, Corruption, and permanent injuries optional rules. And if it helps, the demonically-possessed zombie t-rex was entirely my own creation, it's not an actual monster in the bestiary (that I'm aware of). They were in an ancient primeval forest, it was a beer and pretzels campaign to begin with, and I like dinosaurs. [/QUOTE]
