Nescire autem quid ante quam natus sis acciderit, id est semper esse puerum. Quid enim est aetas hominis, nisi ea memoria rerum veterum cum superiorum aetate contexitur? -- Cicero, Marcus Tullius (106-43BC)

comment How to make players care about a community
From this and your other post, I think your problem might be the players and not what you are doing. However, this is a great question on its own!

comment How can I check whether an extremely adult/mature plot idea would be accepted by players without revealing any details of the idea itself?
Yup, I did missed what you said. Bah, today was/is not a good day. Sorry for the confusion.

Females are more likely to be raped. However, males do get raped too. Let's be clear rape is a horrible crime whoever is the victim and should not be tolerated in real life.

comment Are there any fantasy campaign setting/modules analogous to the Silk Road?
A history book you should read is Foreign Devils on the Silk Road: The Search for the Lost Treasures of Central Asia by Peter Hopkirk. The introduction chapter reads like a (bad) D&D module with lost cities, forgotten for a thousand years, filled with treasures and guarded by demons.

comment Why does the ghost of a small peasant girl haunt the castle?
While I agree that closing is the right decisions, it's a shame as this type of question would be very interesting indeed. Meh.

Could you add some links to some of those resources?

Deviant art has a lot of brushes that can be used to generate maps.

comment Is using the term “gypsy” in a game racist?
Why would gypsy be a class? It should be either a "race" (if human/mythical being hybrids) or a social class within humans.

You might get more answers if you relax your conditions for the games.

comment Bad/Rash character actions and consequences that don't kill my game
I'm assuming that Fabulio's player does realise that his character's actions were just wrong... If not, you have a different problem.

comment How can I introduce twists to the setting without asking the players
+1 for the first sentence alone. This is the best way to do it.

comment Lovecraft's Deep Ones and co. in the 21st century
@OpaCitiZen: To be fair, my post was in the paranoid style of the books where knowing too much gets you eaten by things Man was not meant to know. The whole point of The Laundry is that the Stars Are Right soon (next ten years) so they are desperatly trying to find some way to survive. Read the two short stories as tasters and if you like them, get the books.

comment Lovecraft's Deep Ones and co. in the 21st century
How mainstream does the answer have to be? Would The Laundry setting be appropriate?

comment Thoughts on character Leitmotifs?
@ClockworkTower: Do not be discouraged by your question being closed. It is not a permanent state. Look at all the comments, re-frame your question, and you will have a very good and worthwhile question. To be honest, if you leave this as is, I might ask a question about leitmotiff myself -- however, I want you to get the rep! ^_~

comment Thoughts on character Leitmotifs?
I think there is a great question here. Can you defined what your problem/issue is more tightly? A good rule is that things asking for lists, discussions, or that are too general cannot have a "best" answered and thus will be closed. What are you trying to solve? Are you unsure how to use the leifmtifs, whether they are a good idea, or how to define one?

Hum, clearly I seem to have not explained myself... Lemme try again.

comment What are the key considerations to creating compelling environments?
+1, although I still think it is more of a science than an art. ^_~
