Well, it was inevitable, folks: When we committed to doing a series on The Ten Commandments, we knew we’d eventually have to talk about adultery. Fair warning: This episode does talk about sex. We’re not explicit or anything, but keep that in mind! First, though, we’ve got a few other things to talk about—specifically, Grant’s D&D game in Sharn (or the lack of it) and a new Vampire: The Masquerade 20th Anniversary Edition game he’s running.

Our Patreon question this week comes from John & Ginny Swann, who ask about TORG, running a horror story within a larger campaign, and getting otherwise light-hearted players to switch emotional gears for a more serious arc.

After a lot of Scripture, we start talking about adultery and marriage. Why is “You shall not commit adultery” a commandment at all? What did adultery and marriage look like in Old Testament Israel? And how do we tell stories involving adultery without being crass (or worse?)

Also mentioned in this episode: Our Virtues & Vices series episodes on Lust and Chastity, respectively; Fear the Boot 178, “Running a horror game”; and Eureka: 501 Adventure Plots to Inspire Game Masters.

Scripture: Exodus 20 : 14, Leviticus 20 : 10, 2 Samuel 12 : 1-10, Matthew 5 : 27-30, Mark 2 : 23-27, John 8 : 3-11, 1 Corinthians 6 : 18-20
