Which brings me to a rpg topic - how far can you go....

I mean, I happily watched Requiem for a Dream (which reduced my sister
in law to tears) and Audition (we lost 3 people from my row for the
last 10 minutes).  I enjoy challenging myself from time to time with
things that push emotional barriers.  But some people don't.

I'm running a (non-UA) game at the moment set during WW2.  Left to my
own devices, and if I was running the game for myself and my clones,
I'd throw in a trawl through the concentration camps, to drive home
the terrors that were happening.  But I know I'd lose nearly all my
players if I got that emotionally intense and upsetting.

How far do other people find is a reasonable level to go to?
