[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 7895438, member: 6796661"] Depends on the venue. I mostly only DM for a group I've been playing with since 5e came out. While almost nothing is off the table, I don't often go into graphic detail. For example, in my first homebrew DnD campaign, I took the bit of lore from the 5e Monster Manual in the "Orc Crossbreeds" section of the Orc entry but interpreted it as orcs using rape to perpetuate their race. How this came up in play would be that a village was raided by orcs, who killed everyone except women of child-bearing age, who the characters had to rescue. There was no description of acts and the word rape never was used, but it was pretty obvious why they only took the women and it gave an evil for heros to vanquish. While I have no problem running a scenario like this in my home game, I would never run this scene at a convention or a game with new players I didn't know well. With my home game, if I go to far or touch on something that makes a player uncomfortable, we know each other welll enough that they will either call me out on it on the spot or will talk with me afterwards and I can course correct going forward. That's not really possible in a short game with strangers, especially as some topics may effect people far more strongly than they would my regular group of friends. [/QUOTE]
