On 05:19 PM 9/7/1999 -0700, I personally witnessed Hess, Ian (Ian) *CTR*
jumping up to say:
&gt;
&gt;	Should a designer attempt to curtail "dark" content (as might be
&gt;found in a story or atmosphere driven Cthulhu, Masquerade, or perhaps Kult
&gt;tabletop RPG) for either reasons of limiting the prospective audience, or
&gt;the difficulties in verifying the age of the players?

Personally, I would say no. While there is a vast array of horror games out
there, most of them suck. I am *starved* for a really, really GOOD
horror-themed game. I don't think I'm alone in this. I would note, however,
that good horror is hard in *any* setting... let alone a nonlinear and/or
freely explored setting.
