&gt; &gt; Here are some random thoughts/questions on the matter.  Would liasons
&gt; &gt; be possible between PCs only or combination of PC/NPC?
&gt; 
&gt; I just want to make one comment here.
&gt; 
&gt; Do NOT under ANY circumstances build rape code into your game. It's just
&gt; not an amusing option, and can have some serious repercussions for
&gt; survivors of such incidents.

I agree completely with this.  My system is player-to-player only, and
requires both people to type 'consent &lt;partner&gt;'.  I have coded some
pretty horrific combat (people can get disembowelled, then stagger off
knowing its only so long before they either bleed to death, or their
entrails pour out...with a selection of options like this, combat is
not for the faint of heart), however there are some things I just would
never code.  Interestingly my system is also male-to-female only.

&gt; &gt; I don't like the idea of
&gt; &gt; skill transference, but wealth and equipment are another matter.
&gt; &gt; Once play begins with the new character perhaps there are necessary
&gt; &gt; expenditures for the NPC parents if still living?
&gt; 
&gt; Anyone for a 'borrow money from parents' subsystem, with attendant
&gt; requirements that you go to dinner and write or visit more often? ;)

I agree that skills should not be 'transferred'...however there is no
reason why you couldn't bring up your son/daughter to follow in your
footsteps, thus they would be quite likely to have some of your skills.
