Lines and Veils

Given the pretty dark subject matter of the game I thought I would take the advice of the core book and use lines and veils. Lines being subjects we don't want touched at all and Veils being things which can happen but only behind the scenes.

I'll set mine below and feel free either to add your own below or, if you would rather, PM me and I'll add them to this.

Lines

Period Racism/Sexism/Homophobia - As the game book sets out just because the actual Victorian era was bereft with these awful attitudes doesn't mean our game needs to be. I'm not trying to whitewash what were (and sadly still are in some quarters) truly reprehensible views but just in my view a game isn't the place for me, a white straight man, to clumsily try and deal with them.


Veils

Sexual Activity - I'm not offended by it and it's absolutely part of the game which may come up but if/when it does I would rather we fade to black. I get that some people like reading/writing erotica but I just find it a bit wince-inducing.
