The Starfinder Baseline (Rules) (GM Core)

The following is a set of basic assumptions that works for many groups, which you can modify to fit your group's preferences. Bloodshed, injuries, and even dismemberment might be described. However, excessive descriptions of gore and cruelty should be avoided. Romantic and sexual relationships can happen in the game, but players should avoid being overly suggestive. Sex always happens “off-screen.” Because attempts at initiating a relationship between player characters can be uncomfortably similar to one player hitting on another, this should generally be avoided (and is entirely inappropriate when playing with strangers or minors). Avoid excessively gross or scatological descriptions. The following acts should never be performed by player characters: Torture Rape, nonconsensual sexual contact, or sexual threats Harm to children, including sexual abuse Owning slaves or profiting from the slave trade Reprehensible uses of mind-control magic Villains might engage in such acts, but they won't happen “on-screen” or won't be described in detail. Many groups choose to not have villains engage in these activities at all, keeping these reprehensible acts out of mind entirely.
