What rating would you give your game sessions?

[Hermit]

If we applied Movie ratings ( for Language, Violence, SC, etc) to game sessions, what rating would your games get? :)

Just curious...

[Vondy]

Rated R for violence and the occasional use of harsh language.

Anything... adult... is strictly innuendo.

[TheEmerged]

Voted "R" because my current campaign is a "villain" campaign, in which the PC's are criminals and engage in criminal acts. The actual content is normally PG-13.

[Derek Hiemforth]

I had to vote X. Not because of the in-game content, but because of the out-of-game chatter... ;)

[Enforcer84]

I'd giveit an R for language and violence. And the occasional bit of nudity. Implied sex. I'd love an X game, but alass my wife won't wear the costume yet.

[Edsel]

I voted PG-13. The average game secession is usually PG rated (for cartoon violence), but every so often it creeps into the R-relm whenever an espically seedy villian is encountered.

Now these ratings are for our current 4-color champions campaign of which I am a player. I am the GM that runs our Dark Champions campaign and when that is the active campaign it definately favors the R-rating.

I'd have to go for 'R' due to violence. Other than that it would be 'PG'. Although some of the "stories" my girlfriend writes might have to be 'NC-17'.

PG-13 for my campaign, which makes sense since Mentor's 13 year old son plays in our game. I've even made a serious effort to cut down on profanity. Sexual content is nil, my character isn't even dating. On the other hand, Mentor's character Cyberknight recently married Kathy Ireland and they went on a six-month long round the world cruise in his yacht for their honeymoon. I assume they did honeymoon-type stuff. :D

I would say my current game could sneak in at PG-13, but I would rate my style in the R camp.

I have run games that easily hit X due to extreme violence and sexual situations, but I think a film would of been edited to get the other ratings. :D

[BlacKlily]

One of the probelms with rating your game is what you are rating. Differant places have differant levels of tolerance. My game is high on violence and complex crimes, but low on the sex. Though after I let my teens start playing with the adluts, the innuendo has risen greatly.:D

[Enforcer84]

We tend to have adults who still want to be teens...:rolleyes:

[Klytus]

Our games are easily rated R, for violence, language, nudity and adult themes. We tend to keep sex limited to inuendo and off-screen action, but there is plenty of chatter about who is and isn't "getting any".

[zornwil]

Tough call, I waver between PG-13 and R, which I think the game does as well. But overall we've had some exraordinary violence and one of the lead heroes is pretty gruesome in combat (he's a troll - well "the" Troll - and his body parts can fly off, his blood spurts everywhere, it's yucky). There's also been some mature themes here and there, but only sporadically. Overall I had to go with R, but it could easily be made into PG-13 with only minor editing (I mean in terms of storyline, specific scenes would be more heavily edited) overall I think.

[Ghost Archer]

When the group is all together, R for violence, mature themes, occasional nudity and sexual innuendo. Mostly X when blue booking.

[Jhamin]

I went with PG-13.

Violence tends to be at PG levels, bordering into PG-13 or R in some of the uglier combats. Language is PG. The sex had been pretty muted, but something about the switch to FREd has brought out all the hormones. We now have two characters with steady boyfriends and healthy appetites. Description has been off-camera but in a WB or FOX off-camera sort of way. Some discussion has been had about how Cyberline enhancement interacts with superhuman physiology.

[bwdemon]

For me it varies too much between campaigns to choose. I've played anything from PG to NC-17 throughout my time and I'll still vary depending on the game itself. A Dark Champions game in particular can end up just shy of X, but most of the superheroic games I've been involved with tend to be PG to PG-13.

This reminds me of the former campaign I ran, there was a lot of off-camera sex as Dr. Time could duplicate and was fooling around with Invisible Girl (yes, THAT Invisible Girl, so he was indeed playing with fire and yes he did get burnt).

[Arkham]

I went with PG-13 for my current game.

The language is strictly G, with a $0.50 penalty
for slipping when my 3yo son is around.

We've stuck mostly to silver-age levels of
innuendo, so very little of that.

But the violence occassionally gets a bit
graphic.... Too many players weened on
Call of Cthulhu, Werewolf: The Apocolype,
and Vampire I suppose.

[SuperPheemy]

PG-13. And that is only because of some of the darker storylines I run. Then again, my Champs campaigns are designed for me to be a break from the darker-than-dark Spycraft, Cthulhu, and Victorian Age Vampire games I run (those go straight to NC-17, and VAV had some bondage scenes that were probably straight-to-video in an "Adult Boutique").

[CrosshairCollie]

I said PG-13, as that's where me and about half the players prefer to hang out. Anything sexual happens off camera, without description, descriptions of the wounds and violence is fairly tame (Body damage rarely occurs in my games anyway), and tortures are rarely 'violations' worthy of an R rating (the old 'looked up to an electrical device' thing).
