 October 27, 2012 - 2:03am | When I game with my kids, there is a wide range of ages. The oldest (age 13) likes exciting PG-13 movies, and has no problem with action-oriented violence, whether it is in role-playing, videogames or movies. |
 November 1, 2012 - 10:44am | My boys, 14 and 10 now, are OK with most game violence. I stay away from the graphic descriptions, and bad guys fall easily and silently as the miniatures (if any) are pulled from the board. I wish I could say the same for the older one's "Skyrim" game, *I* have trouble listening to him play it, when so many of the targets are begging for their lives before he hacks them down. |
November 2, 2012 - 7:32pm | Yeah, I try to keep the game "neutral", and try not to describe things in too much gory detail. |
 November 14, 2012 - 2:12pm | Cowboys and Indians with a mix of 80's cartoon violence for us. "He goes down." "He falls." "Ah! You got me!" Bad guys end up in prison, grenades do stun damage unless it's a door and threating creatures die (we're a hunting/fishing family). It's my opinion we don't need to introduce our kids to yet another form of violence. The most violent game we play is Crossfire / no blood and Battlefront II. |
November 14, 2012 - 2:22pm | I might mention for more violent games, we fight robots! But just the evils one. I'm a lawful good robot. :-) |

Battlefront 2 is one of the greatest games of all time. My kids and I love to play it. I especially love the lack of blood and gore. It's not needed. That's how I run my SF campaign. There's no torture or gore or anything like that. In fact my guys just finished the beyond the frontier series, and when the Sathar would die when they were captured, I would just say something like "he keels"... My kids are 9 and 13. |
