Quote from: John MorrowIs that a personal opinion or psychological fact?  And does she also believe that if we don't teach children how to drive at 12, they'll never master it at 17, 18, or even later in life?

  Out of its context it's impossible to know whether it's a conclusion based on psychological and anthropological study or just someone pulling a fact out of her arse.  If it comes at the end of a chapter wherein she carefull,y constructs the case for each premise of that statement then I have no problem for it.  It's it's like the first line of the introduction then it's clearly someone talking out of their arse (unless it's a rhetorical gambit).

  Okay look, I apologise for being an arsehole.  Looking back on the thread, you made an off-hand comment and then Pundit and I essentially goaded you into commiting yourself to a view on a book you haven't read.  I apologise, that's not cool.

Quote from: David RI have no objections to sexuality in games. In a post apocalyptic world issues such as safe child bearing ages, abortion etc could possibly be a factor depending on how realistic one wants the setting to be.

In Havens I've only alluded to those particular subjects.  Miscarriage is incredibly dangerous for the mother for reasons I don't discuss further than saying that the mother will instantly succum to the zombie infection.  The shortage of adult women "will push the age of consent to a level that would be considered obscenely low before the Rising." and that section is headed by a quote for Cindy, explaining to a young mother that she will probably need an elective ceasarian as her pelvic girdle isn't yet wide enough "... and for future reference, hon, it doesn't matter how much you think you love him - just because your old enough to bleed doesn't mean your old enough to bleed."

I don't believe that anything more needs to be said

On the other tentacle I have written the most complete rules for contraception I've ever seen.  Quick reality check: I've set the DC for the Will save to effectively use the Withdrawal method at 15.  Too high? too low?

Even with a successful will roll this should result in half damage, no damage if the character has the Moneyshot feat.

Surely it should be a Concentration check, it might explain why Clerics recommend it?

I went back and added context for why I included her name alongside NAMBLA in my original post.  I can see why you and RPGPundit read the association I was making more strongly than I intended and, for that, I apologize.

Not a class skill for any of the base classes in the MSRD

At this point in the discussion, I'm in a Kirk-like struggle with myself to avoid cheap shots about orgies and attacks of opportunity...
