BoEF Artist Starts Own Thread on the Subject...
Ahoy!
My name is Eliza Gauger, and I'm one of the artists who's doing the photo manipulations for the Book of Erotic Fantasy. I may also be modelling for one or two characters; we'll see.
I'm a forum dork, although my usual digs are the SeaGoth forum over at EZboard. I'm also a longtime, second-generation gamer and third generation sci-fi nerd. I must confess that I prefer WoD to D&D, although I learned to read using the oldschool Dieties and Demigods and Moster Manual. So I have a little background with the genre, although assuredly not as much as some of you. I have an interest in maintaining communication directly with you guys, because I hate misinformation with a passion.
Firstly, I'd like to dispell any lingering doubts about this book's reality. It does indeed exist in potentia (we're at the content-generating stage right now), and will be published in October.
Secondly, let me make it clear that I am not one of the writers and have only seen snippets of the fluff text. I am working on many of the images, however.
Thirdly, to all the people who are ranting and raving about how this book is going to degrade the d20 system and how disgusting and pornographic it will be and blah blah:
You don't know anything about the contents of this book except what the press release has told you, which is pretty much zilch. And we all know that press releases are less than reliable. Their purpose is to create buzz to keep everyone on the subject for the months between the press release and the actual product, so it stays fresh in your minds. So do everyone a favor and try to exercise a little self control and common sense. When you actually see the content from the actual book, then you'll be able to get all growly without being completely baseless. KTHX.
A few factoids for you folks:
1. Regardless of Valterra's sexual practices or Hypnox's website,
this is not a fetish book. There will be some kink content, but kink falls under the catagory of "sexuality", whether you like it or not.
2. There will be no "roll for
size" tables or anything of the sort. I'm not sure why I even have to say this, but people seem to be fixated on it.
3. Aside from the things I've already told you, I am not intimately familiar with the books content yet, myself. I plan to become more familiar with it this Friday, when we will be having a company meeting.
...phew. Questions? Bueller?
