Your group will likely talk about what types of content you want in your game before your campaign begins. The following is a set of basic assumptions that works for many groups. The GM can find more guidance in GM Core.
Villains might engage in such acts “off-screen,” but many groups choose to not have villains engage in these activities.
- Bloodshed, injuries, and even dismemberment might be described. However, excessive descriptions of gore and cruelty should be avoided.
- Romantic and sexual relationships can happen in the game, but players should avoid being overly suggestive. Sex happens “off-screen.” One player character attempting to initiate a relationship with another should generally be avoided.
- Avoid excessively gross or scatological descriptions.
- Torture
- Rape, nonconsensual sexual contact, or sexual threats
- Harm to children, including sexual abuse
- Owning slaves or profiting from slavery
- Reprehensible uses of mind-control magic
