For the best in ranting, semi-conscious bizarre babbling that only deep-woods Alabama Christianity can produce, you have to read Demonbuster.com

Hey!! I missed out on the sexual perversion! What module was that in?

The best part is that the idiot who put these pages together actually advertisies for more web design work at the bottom of most pages.

Hey!! I missed out on the sexual perversion! What module was that in?

Dunno about modules, but it was definitely in the mind of one of my DMs. My character was... seduced by a demon (well, demi-god, really) and then forced to bear his child. Lovely. Needless to say, I didn't stay in that game much beyond that point.

Yuck. Sounds charming.

It does bring up an interesting question, though...among the RPGers reading this, who has played in games which prominently featured sex? How was it handled? It seems like it would be an emotional minefield for certain players (and certain GMs, for that matter).

Good question...

I suppose that in the RPGs I was involved with in college, nearly all of them had sexual elements, though the sexual elements weren't necessarily *prominent*. Being one of two women roleplaying in a group of 8-9 guys tended to lead to either lots of flirtation, or the attitude that I was 'just one of the guys'.

In the longest running campaign I was in (Battletech) my character wound up married to an NPC, and there was definite roleplaying of some parts of their relationship, though it stayed strictly within the game. It *was* damned amusing, though, to kiss the GM (who was playing the NPC), in front of his girlfriend and watch her fall over laughing at the expression on his face. It was a perfectly reasonable thing for my character to do, too. She and the NPC had been flirting for ages, and he had just risked his life to save hers, and she was visiting him in the med unit afterwards. *Of course* she kissed him. (I should note, though, that I wouldn't have done that if I'd thought it would cause problems between the GM and his girlfriend. They were my best friends, and remained so for years after that event.)

As a general rule, I'd say that sex in RPGs is something to handle VERY carefully, though. It can be fun to develop that side of a character, but it IS a bit of an emotional minefield that needs to be danced through with great care and agility.

For the most part, we keep it off stage. The two (or more) participants close the door/iris valve/force screen, and the action jumps forward a few hours.

I did play in a hillarious tournament AD&D game based on The Rocky Horror Picture Show... Frank was a vampire. The sex was all right out there in the game, and we got extra game points for erotic descriptions of our actions.
