The Storms of Yizhao: An Adventure for Godbound

While Storms of Yizhao is well written and has some elements that can be salvaged and used for other adventures, the fact that the central plot revolves around serial rape without any forewarning or mention is disgusting and unacceptable. There is no mention of this in any description of the adventure and there is no content warning. There is no way to remove this element or gloss over it and run the adventure without it as it is literally the main plot. An adventure that is built around the concept of a city being punished because the victims of a serial rapist didn't come forward should have multiple content warnings and make it clear in the products description that rape plays a central, unavoidable role in the plot. One should not have to pay for this product before finding out that the plot revolves around serial rape.

This adventure has a great story, is true to its sandbox origins and helps the GM to run an interisting and exciting adventure for their players.

Honestly, while there are a few bits of entertaining writing in this adventure, this really isn't something I could ever feel comfortable with running for ANY group. For those who might be interested in spite of this, I don't want to simply give away the plot, but I will say that the book devotes several pages to describing a serial rape which is central to the adventure.

Creator Reply:
The element in question is a rework of Feng Menglon's 17th-century story "Prince Wang Burns Down Precious Lotus Monastery", from his Xingshi Hengyan. While some groups may not be comfortable with historical fiction and the outcomes those works celebrated, that's... kind of the point. The PCs are Godbound. Something terrible has happened, something also terrible is going to happen, and they have the power to change things to a better and more humane outcome. Some groups may prefer not to play an adventure where rape has been a prior ingredient to the situation, and those groups are indeed probably best off not playing this. Other groups get a great deal of enjoyment out of introducing a serial rapist and the social mores they manipulate to their own personal pantheon of divine vengeance.
