I am quite new to the site, so I may be interpreting this incorrectly, but it looks kinda off-putting. I'm trying to get more people into this, but when I see A on nearly every players wanted post I second guess myself. Why do we need explicit sexual content in so many games? If I tried to tell my friends about this place and they saw that they'd never play here. Just saying. Am I wrong about adult games or is there something I'm missing here? | |||

for me?.. all my games are Mature, and I try to keep it 'over 18' just so I get folks with commitment . My games are darker, folks get blown up, eaten sad stories ect ect… but if folks deciede to hook up, they fade to black. I stay away from Adult games myself, because i'm here for the stories, adventure and RP..not the extra stuff. | |||

/help/content.cgi?t=faqs&page=adultpolicy Not that any/all of it is. Might depend on the type of game. A lot of D&D games I'm in are Adult but get nowhere near sexual content. Could be for gore/drug/to be safe or as donsr said just to keep people out. | |||

And like donsr said, sometimes people add the Adult tag simply because they don't want to game with kids. | |||

So why not have a way to only allow 18+ and also disallow sexual content? If people are using the adult tag just because they don't want kiddos then it seems a little misused. It frankly comes off as immature (not trying to bash anyone else here, you do you booboo). Again, this is me trying to introduce more people to the site and not have them run off immediately. | |||

I don't care so much about the age, the games I have don't have any thing worse in the most M Video GAmes ( I know cause I play, left grandkids play with the stiff edict that if they talk like that aroudn me or their parnest they are done ::chuckles:: But, I have damn good players, swearing is kept to 'mild' with "hard stuff' saved for expounding on anger ect…… havign said all this, I hate to spend the time with a 'kid'..and then they go dark, its easy enough to cover the vanishing character, but it leaves a hole for players who liked 'sharing the fox hole: with them. regardless?.. I still stay away from Adult games, and Id Never really run one. | |||

But I'd say your reservations, Fleahop, comes from a misperception of what the Adult tag is used for. Yeah, it's used for sex games, and you're allowed to feel about that whatever you'd like, but it's also used for a lot of other reasons. For instance, a horror game based on splatterhouse films like Saw would need the Adult tag, even if there was never so much as an errant peck on the cheek. And you can ask players to only apply to your Mature game if they are 18+, but the Adult tag means they are in breach of the site rules if they lie about their age in order to apply, and the whole thing is taken care of automatically by the age check that's prompted when entering an Adult game. | |||

It gives a seedy vibe. I've been in quite a few game shops and watched quite a few games or was around while they played. That doesn't happen there, and I don't understand why it's a thing here. From what little "adult" roleplay I've been around or witnessed, it tends to be very immature and basic. Rarely does it help the group either. Why not go to discord or one of the many other areas where you two or three can live out your fantasy? Well I guess I'll introduce them and tell them not to worry about it. I just wanted to know why it was so prevalent and my question was answered I guess. Hopefully it isn't too off putting. I really didn't expect it to be so often used honestly. |
