Bedroom Eyes

From the beginning ... Early Season 1 and Lex is all put out because Zandra ... well, because she won't put out. Enter Taisan, our new-age girl who knows what to do to re-align Lex's chakras. And so, ladies & gents, we have our first "Tribe" bedroom scene that Taisan described quite accurately as for the good of the tribe.

"The Tribe" was never ever shy about the carnal aspects of teenagers in a world without adults telling them what to do 'n what NOT to do. Society was down the tubes. The kids were in charge and, quite frankly, hormones are a very important aspect of the teen years.

If I remember right, every major character had a bedroom scene. The photos here are just a sample of the MANY available throughout 5 adventurous & wicked creative seasons.

I remind some of my fellow KTDARPG players about this constantly--usually teasing when somebody is shying away from game relationship-building.

I have to admit though, it's not easy. Writing love scenes in a game? And trying to keep "discretion" in mind because we have kids of all ages who read out game? Yeah, not easy at all. Plus the fact that some guy-players are just not comfortable writing that way.

The ones that are, they've found some surprising ways to deal with amorous scenes and be suggestive without taking it too far. Those scenes have been fun to read and added HUGELY to character development and motivation in the storylines. Then, too, we have a lot of scenes that finally "fade to black," and you're left to your imagination. Which is not bad, not bad at all.

As a game, KTDARPG has tried to deal with all aspects of real life. Some are easier than others. Competing for food and living space. Protecting your tribe. Having a good time in a less-than-perfect world. Living, fighting, carousing, dying and dealing with what comes after. Finding somebody to love and actually expressing that love are just more aspects of the world we play in.
