BG-Sode012-GM002-LoveandSex

Posted by gameologists on 12th May 2008

Icebreaker: Childhood fantasy crushes.

Main Topic: Love, Sex and Boning in your game.

1) Use sex as a tool in the game- to excite or anger your players.  Have consequences and adventure related to it.

2) How to know when you’ve gone too far.  And then how to take it a little bit further.

3) Ways to make interesting sexual characters.

Share your sex stories!

… in game of course.
