Playing a child is another matter, though even then, I have reservations about playing a child in a horror RPG like Little Fears.<br /><br />One interesting situation I had in a long running Star Trek game was playing out a romance between my male character and a female character being played by the GM's girlfriend. We definitely drew a veil over the intimate nature of the relationship, and even though the relationship was her idea, I did have to very careful of those boundaries.pookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09521454715536568847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-995220052347472921.post-41497882788849213592010-04-18T23:34:19.676+01:002010-04-18T23:34:19.676+01:00I have some pretty set boundaries:

My opinion is that I consider this too dorky and unnecessary.<br />2. I don't play everyday characters. Since I'm a financial analyst in real life, I don't want to role play a worker at McDonald's. I need my rpgs to be about scifi and fantasy, not real life.<br />3. I don't roleplay or participate in games where children (imagined or not) are harmed. There's no point in that kind of gratuitous violence. Yes, I know in some situations, it's no realistic, but whatever. I don't do it.<br />4. I don't mind playing evil or amoral characters, but I don't delve in being graphic about it.Yong Kyosunimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09397041073119988526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-995220052347472921.post-43075044915850112842010-04-18T12:19:47.459+01:002010-04-18T12:19:47.459+01:00Boundaries vary.

For example, I do know of players who would not contemplate attempting to roleplay female characters and of whole groups who do not allow cross gender table top roleplaying, while you obviously have boundary issues playing in a game set in a school.pookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09521454715536568847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-995220052347472921.post-15432006910514698832010-04-17T22:27:36.842+01:002010-04-17T22:27:36.842+01:00I game with mostly guys, and plenty of them play g...I game with mostly guys, and plenty of them play girls. Someone can roleplay a nigh-immortal humanoid with pointy ears, incredibly archery skills, and impeccable manners, but they can't play someone from the other half of the human race, which they interact with every day?<br /><br />I'd have more of a problem with the 'school' part of schoolgirl. Go back to those days? I think I'd rather play a nazi getting eaten by lovcraftian horrors.Swordgleamhttp://chaoticshinyproductions.comnoreply@blogger.com
