Adult Content

Quote from: Shawn Driscoll;1055743Your compass is off. Anyway, some people lump child sex/rape into the adult category. I don't. So when a GM says his game will have adult content in it, it's best to ask what kind.

FWIW I sort of got confused by the OP too. I was expecting something like an Unknown Armies game I was part of years ago, where porn actors suddenly came out of the TV. Or some of the Artesia games that I have run myself (I make them only slightly less adult than the comics).

Wait... What? Oh man I like your crazy bro. This is THE SHIT right here. lol. Democrats kill their own babies. "My life is a D&D game, and those people are all ASSASSINS!!" "Watch out for the Democrats. They are up in your house GMing your games teaching your babies SEX ED MOTHERFUCKER!!!!" This. Is. Gold. I don't think I'm supposed to laugh like this at work. I better check the employee handbook...

Wait... are we talking about LARPing now?

Seriously - I just tell people this is an adult game. You can do whatever the fuck you want to do. I'll react in accordance with the dictates of the setting. If you're sitting around dreaming up "adult content" for the express purposes of pushing that in your game... free of context... then you probably have some other issues that would keep you from understanding why regardless of the explanation.

I can't think of anything taboo that hasn't occurred in my games at one point or another - but none of it was the *point* of the game.

I don't mind adult content and adult themes in games that are context-appropriate.

But I also don't want to spend an evening going through some DMs campaign that proxies as their primary outlet for flirty talk.

It's entirely dependent on the vibe from the DM; the ones I'm not interested in playing with are palpably thrilled by play taking a turn in that direction; and if it isn't going there naturally they ensure it does.

For the record, I assume my adult players are adults, and will behave that way. And part of being adults is that they'll understand the good sense of 'fading to black' in certain scenes where it's possible to do so.

Some YouTuber GMs take their games there in most of their sessions. The players are also on the twisted side. No fading to black, or fast-forwarding.

You're part of the problem.

If your original comment was serious, so are you.

Believe me Shawn, I'm not part of any problem. Laughter is healing to the soul. So is good Adult Content. Whatever that means to you.

My games don't have sexual content beyond a PG rating, as a rule, but holy fuck would SJW heads explode if I ever livestreamed my DCC game.

A dog died in one of my live streamed games. (un)Woke people went ballistic.

Shawn! You blocked me bro? What a shame. I thought we were having a debate. I guess we were throwing a tempter-tantrum? Hugs bro. You don't have to block me or answer my questions. We can still be friends.
