I think they are unneccessary. That said, I don't think the miscarriage plot and mental illness aspects were "vile" (unless it was caused by someone purposely, accidents are natural). The mood was dark and this is what I would term "mature" content. It is a subject that a certain level of maturity is required in order to deal with it. It was handled well according to the description of events. The person who complained obviously had a sensitive spot about that subject. To dismiss you for being young was not appropriate. I'm 33 and have not dealt with a miscarriage. I'm sure most people do not have direct experience with a miscarriage. Age does not mean experience with specific issues. Your decision to discuss these issues in the future before introducing them into a game is wise. People want to have fun and issues they are sensitive with will not be fun for them. In hindsight one can see that a serious subject like this may strike a nerve with players. I will never use "vile" content, but had I been running a campaign with a dark mood, I may have used the same plot line had I thought of it. Now that you bring this thread up, I would reconsider it without knowing the participants personal experience.</blockquote>
