Lines & Veils
(This post is totally optional!)
Lines
- Sexual violence
- Graphic violence in general, but especially against innocents. I don't mind the occasional bad guy getting decapitated, just don't go into a long description about it. My theater of the mind can do the rest just fine.
- Sexual harassment, both from bad guys AND fellow party members. The two biggies here for me are being hit on romantically if I make it clear I don't welcome the advance and having my character's private parts touched, neither of which has to be violent. I am not anti-romance per se, but if I turn down an advance, I want the other person to drop it and leave me alone about it. If an NPC hits on another NPC in an unwanted way, and the party puts a stop to the unwanted behavior, I'd be okay with that.
- Physical violence toward my character by another party member as a part of that party member's roleplay. I think of this in terms of roll play vs. roleplay. Violence toward my character as the result of a dice roll is fine, such as the case where a bad guy drops a mind-control spell on another party member who fails their save and then attacks mine. Violence toward my character as a result of another player's idea about how to roleplay something is not, and I don't care if not allowing this means that my character dies or loses out on some other benefit. Another player roleplaying hitting or slapping my character is hugely fun-ruining for me, period. A mutually agreed-to, roleplayed spar would be the only exception I can think of off-hand that I might be willing to make, and even then, it would depend on whether I felt comfortable enough with the other person.
Veils
- Sex scenes
Thumbs-Up (stuff you’d actually be happy to see!)
- I'm not sure if we'll ever have need to travel anywhere by ship, but I do love a good sea encounter!
- Party splits, if needed, to accommodate different likes and preferences. I am not one who is going to be offended if a bunch of the male players want to go off and do some kind of super gory hack-n-slash side quest. I am in favor of any option that lets people get what they want out of an RPG. I am quite capable of finding something non-gory for my character to do in the meantime!
- A real possibility of the death of a party member occurring, provided it's a good fight and not a rout.
Anything you’d rather others not read, but need to tell me, put it in a private-text bubble.
