I think that's an essential point.  It is the "graphic depiction" that
is being legislated here.  I don't know of very many pen-and-paper (or
live-action) RPGs that include "graphic" depiction (though I suppose
it would be *possible* with live-action, but that's not a game I want
to play in).

Sometimes the games might include the graphic *description* of
violence and/or sex, but description is not normally equated with
depiction, which usually requires some visual element.
