I DM'd a dungeon crawl, and when the scouting party member came to some drow's "rape room", things got weird.  We had always played with mature themes, and my campaigns often dealth with such things like rape, torture, maiming, etc., to get the PCs (and the players) to hate the bad guys.  I did a (too much) detailed map of the room, with minis and all.  The guy went somewhat crazy, killed all drows he could (without telling the other PCs) and got killed in the process.  The session ended there, and when I asked him what is next character would be, he said he didn't have the time to play.  Then a couple of days after I saw his sister on TV show here in Quebec, something like Dr. Phil.  She was talking about her rape experience, and the fact that she had gotten beaten almost to death after.  Homer would have said 'D'oh', but I was speechless.  I called the guy and told him how sorry I was, and after some time he came back to our group, but our stories got more touchy about mature themes.I guess you have to know your players.  I just lost my uncle, and greatest friend, and I still have some downs when I play DnD and we speak about death.  The fact that he introduced me to RPGs and Fantasy doesn't help, but I guess I can only shrug and go on.</blockquote>
