The subject of slavery came up in the interest check thread for my Hiptos game.
Looking back, I wasn't really planning to have the PCs be allied with a slaver. But even though it was Vorn, not me, who came up with a slaver criminal contact, it was absolutely me who had Shen Xin ask you to help retrieve one of her slaves. I remember thinking it could go either way - you'd help her, or you'd refuse. So it ended up going the way it did, with Rong Hua treating it like any other job, and Wu Meng setting aside his own distaste for the whole business and hoping his share of the loot will help Mei in the future.
How does this sit with you, as players? Have I perhaps violated our agreement, crossed the line somewhere? Please be honest.
We have two new players who were not present for Session Zero. I have been remiss in not revisiting this discussion.
1. Can each of you please tell me how much DW experience you have, if any?
2. What made you sign up for an Oriental-flavored game?
3. What do you expect from this game?
4. Any expectations from your fellow players? How about from me as a GM?
5. How do you feel about portrayals of graphic violence, torture, slavery, substance abuse, sexuality, and the like? Is there anything that would make you uncomfortable? Something you would rather we didn't "go there"?
