Ratings and Icons
FauxCon is dedicated to ensuring that all players who come to
the convention have a good time. Part of that is ensuring that
blurbs have an accurate depiction of the game content - false
advertising is nobody's friend.
And part of the blurbs are the game ratings which are listed at
the bottom of each blurb, and the icon to the right. These ratings
let you know what the writer is expecting to be presenting in terms
of Adult Content, Characterisation, Rules or Genre Knowledge
and Seriousness. Most of the ratings are from 1-5, except Adult
Content, which uses an approximate G, PG, M, MA rating. Obviously,
the higher the rating, the more important the writer feels the
category is to their game
The icons require a little more explanation:
