In One-Way Street, the party is given a plot-mandatory mission to kill the owner of a brothel at the behest of the religious institution that the party belongs to. To what extent should I have the party see/hear the actions described therein? How aught I limit this encounter to make it decent? I've already set the scenario's rating to "Mature" accordingly, I don't want to absolutely have to set it to "Adult", and I want to keep it safe enough to put on Spidweb's tables and into the design contest. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

The BoE scenario Trouble in Mendor contained a brothel and was rated PG, due to a generalised lack of adult content beyond a couple of non-explicit references in dialogue. No reason you can't do the same if you have a little self-control. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

Or you could have an option for censorship at the beginning of the scenario, and make the same town twice: version 1 would be uncensored, version 2 would go easy on the graphics, sound effects, and descriptions. Then link the player's choice to VTE for the town with the brothel. Stupid Newb: TM says that it's plot-mandatory, hence not cheap fiction.

The brothel shouldn't be the most offensive thing in the scenario. The blatant fascism, anti-God rhetoric and a menagerie of other things will do that just fine. ^_^ -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Must all scenarios be vehicles for propaganda? I mean, you don't even need our cooperation! You have the Black Mark Cabbages for that! —Alorael, who is sure some careful innuendos and self-censoring can convey all the necessary brothel feel without offending any kittens or puppies. Not that kittens or puppies play BoA, come to think of it... Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

I think its just that people ramble when they type at the computer too much. :) I do it too. And as for the brothel, its not like the game has the capacity to be truly adult... i mean scantily dressed ladies are probably mature, and that fits your rating. As long as you dont make a cutscene or anything, lol... Posts: 40 | Registered: Saturday, March 27 2004 08:00 |
