Comment on “Dirty”

For a while I've wanted to add secondary sexual characteristics (penis size, breast shape, etc.) to my character background generator. (IIRC you have them in yours.)

But when I've asked players, they've always said something like, "I wouldn't mind, and that fits the granularity of your game. But what if you get someone new who sees that right off the bat and gets the wrong idea about your game -- thinks you're the kind of DM who's going to use the game to act out his fetishes?"

I accepted that argument at the time, when I was a bit more worried about retaining players, but your post prompted me to think again. I suppose the counterargument is that anyone who would be put off enough to quit playing over sex characteristics without so much as asking, "Hey, why are these here?" is someone I don't want to play with anyway!

I'll have to get to that when I do another revision of the BG generator.
