[QUOTE="Nightchilde-2, post: 427955, member: 4109"] I tend to run a darker D&D game than some, so nothing is really *taboo* per se. Sex stuff (whether forced or consentual) takes place very much off-screen. It may be used as a plot device, quite possibly, but doesn't need to take up in-session time. There's just no place for it in my sessions. Not only that, but it takes time away from killin' stuff. Graphic violence, dark rites, human sacrifice, urinating on temples (long story, but one of the PCs managed to make an enemy of a really bad god that way) and so on..all fair game. And, too, it tends to depend on the game. In D&D for example, I give brutal, vivid descriptions of combat and violence. For Vampire, the descriptions tend to be more gory and more "artful" than in D&D. For Adventure!, the most vile violence happens off-screen (if it comes up at all), with little gore or blood coming through in the session itself (rather befitting the genre, I think). Since my wife's an EMT and works in a hospital emergency room, I can get some of those to be pretty danged realistic sounding. :-) [/QUOTE]
