Dear moderators,
I am considering running a roleplay set in the James Bond universe (gaming system to be determined by polling the interested players). However, before I start, I'd like to clear a couple of concerns that I have regarding the rules of the forum. Most notably, because the James Bond franchise takes place in a world resembling our own with real-world nations and some semblance of real-world politics, the question comes up as to what my game can do and what it cannot do within the context of the forum. To this end, I hope to get the moderators' answers to the following questions before I begin the game and potentially commit infractions.
1. My intention regarding politics is to make a statement along the lines of the following: "in this game, the British Commonwealth and the United States will represent the good guys. Individual citizens of these nations may be evil, but the nations themselves, their governments, and their respective intelligence agencies will represent the forces of justice, nature, and liberty. Whether or not any of us believe this is true in reality as well as this game shall not be discussed here." I would also want to make it clear that any present-day political figures of any real-world nation specifically mentioned in the game be entirely fictional. Does this satisfy any concerns of bringing up any political discussions?
2. The James Bond series is also known for its sexuality. I am assuming that this forum's limits on it are restricted to what would be PG or PG-13 (i.e. saying that "James and Tracy made love" is fine, but going into the mechanics of it is not). Am I correct?
Thank you for your time and explanation.
