Message: <blockquote data-quote="the Jester" data-source="post: 425858" data-attributes="member: 1210">I've used all these "mature" themes in my campaigns at one point or another.  There was a pc who was raped (years ago), and that's prolly the touchiest subject here.  There have been several more recently in the orcish campaign I ran (starting with Ike Dyson, an ex-monk boxer type modelled on Mike Tyson, who as we all know has served time for rape.)  (shrug) It happens.  I don't like to sugarcoat in my campaign, and part of the game is evil and conflict with it.  On the other hand, I don't go out of my way to emphasize horrible behavior, either.  After all, there's enough murder and destruction in the game already (it often boils down to killing things and stealing their money, after all).War?  It's almost a constant presence imc- but not always where the pcs are.  In fact, they sometimes relocate to avoid it!Madness?  Well, discounting the madness prestige domain, there have been a number of insane folk that pcs have dealt with over the years.  One arch-villain a while back was totally insane, and he was prolly responsible for more pc deaths than any other single npc.  And there are occasionally the mad pcs, too.  Also, there was a great deal of fun with insane npcs when I ran the Gates of Firestorm Peak about a year ago- a crazy dwarf with gibberslugs running through his body and brain, Madreus the alienist, and Nigel, who was a pc's father... Good times!And slavery exists in many places imc, but not all.  The aforementioned orcish campaign saw a number of instances where pcs were nearly enslaved, and one (tabaxi) pc ended up enslaved by another (orcish) pc.  Poor kitty!</blockquote>
