StartPlaying allows Game Masters and Players to participate in 18+ games of an adult nature, sometimes colloquially referred to as “spicy” games.
To keep StartPlaying safe and fun for everyone browsing the website, we have guidelines about what kinds of material can and can’t be used to advertise these kinds of games:
What are StartPlaying's Guidelines on Mature Content?
All listings including mature content must be appropriately tagged 18+.
Listings on StartPlaying May Not Include:
Images depicting sexual activity
Text explicitly describing sexual activity
Images with clothing that is overly tight, intending to display genitalia, the anus, and/or female nipples.
Images or text deemed to be gratuitous
Titillation: Images or text created with the intent of sexually arousing the viewer, with no attempt at an artistic statement.
📌 Note: These rules apply to the content that is listed on the website.
Within the game itself, you can include sexual content if you so choose
(with everyone's consent, of course!)
What if I am concerned an image might violate the Mature Content policy?
When in doubt, feel free to email support@startplayinggames.com with your image before it is uploaded to your listing.
The Support Goblins can let you know if an image violates our policies 👍 If it does, they can help you get it in the right direction.
What happens if I violate the Mature Content policy?
It is at the sole discretion of the Support Goblins to determine if a listing violates StartPlaying's Mature Content Policy.
If a violation occurs, a warning or Strike may be issued to the offending GM, depending on the severity of the violation.
