Whether that's good or bad is a matter of taste (and degree) but it is something to keep in mind. Look at some of the "fixes" in the remakes of Vampire, for example. Personally, I think role play gaming needs to pull the stick out of its collective ass and lighten up but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

And articles like this are why.



There is such a thing as taking yourself too seriously or worrying about fun too much. Sure, you can keep these sorts of things in mind, make a statement about them in your games if you like but the ceaseless finger wagging and preaching has grown incredibly tedious, to me at least.
