[QUOTE="Wulffolk, post: 7406659, member: 6871450"] This subject requires reading the room. I have more time playing World of Darkness games than D&D, even though I have played D&D longer. The WoD games are based on the player characters being monsters (Vampires, Werewolves, Wraiths, Changelings, Mages, Hunters, etc). I don't think that many players in those games would balk at role-playing almost any adult situation, and most such players are usually quite good at communicating the limits of their tolerance. There is an explicit understanding in the WoD games that you will be exploring horrific topics. Morality, and the violation of ethical codes, are major aspects of the game. Even one murder is taken seriously and has consequences. On the other hand, D&D tends to be much less serious in it's regard for moral issues. The assumption is that racism and murder is OK, but anything to do with sex is not. A Character can slaughter entire tribes of humanoids just because they are a different race and never even question their morality, but that character better not ever leave a brothel without paying the prostitute or they will be condemned as a rapist. TL;DR - D&D is a casual game for casual gamers that prefer not to explore morality and ethics in depth. There are other games available for mature role-players that don't gloss over adult subject matters. [/QUOTE]
