Is what I got from him posting about illustrations of "men drawn to appeal to men", since I don't think there's much "gay porn" in D&D. :lol: It's a point about D&D artwork I'm standing on, too...that most of it is used as "that's how your character could look". And while the more mature part...

Cadfan has one thing right...there's a difference if the man/woman depicted is put in for the same sex to look at and think "Wow, I'd sure LOVE my character to look like that" or if it is put in to catch the eyes of the opposite sex. Mostly I think it's a placement matter. Cover xxxcakes are...

We're talking fantasy RPGs here, after all. Just because elves basically look like slender humans with big eyes and pointy ears doesn't mean the call for "hot models" has to limit itself to humans only, I'd say. As counterexamples... We should be a little broader of mind when talking...

Just because I would like to keep this thread from being closed down.

Wow...do as all a favour and don't ty to bring THAT kind of angle into this discussion, please. If you have a personal chip on your shoulder about prostitution, that's well and good...but isn't connected to gaming in general, and this discussion specifically. And I don't want to see this thread...

Player: "I bend over to retrieve my wand from...uh...why are you rolling all those 20siders?" :uhoh: DM: "All male opponents make a Will save to not be distracted for one round by the sight. All female opponents make a Will save or exclusively target you for a round." :lol:

To compare, this is Achilles, the trojan hero, as he was depicted for his "fans" back then...not meant as an actual war illustration. ;)

Wow...you caught Eros sunbathing on Mount Olympus. ;) And he's got Amor's Soccerball of Love (points firearms having been banned since the Athena incident and the renaming of the athenian currency from owls to nightingales :lol: ) If you caught that as a drawing, it'd certainly make a good...

A Mithril Chain Shirt of Silky Smoothness with the Weightless armor quality? :lol:

One thing is funny, though...apparently, the new cosmology brings along a greater shift towards a law/chaos dichotomy again, and away from good/evil. Think about it...the Astral Sea harbors all the Astral Domains, along with the Nine Hells, while the Elemental Tempest has the great chaotic...

That's probably because with D&D products, that assertion is an unwritten standard by now. :lol: "Sure, the monster rams 2' long teeth through my fighter's midsection...it's just a flesh would, I'll decapitate it next round." "What, the mammoth is pushing me off the cliff? Just wait until I've...

Thank you, SteveC...your girlfriend made the point I was trying to explain in my other posts further up for me. :)

Doesn't always have to be chainmail bikinis either. ;) By the way, I still think artwork in RPG books is meant to make the potential player want to play that character, and not to make him stand around drooling stupidly at some skin-art in skimpy armor. :lol: And well...aesthetics are hard...

Oh yeah, that Mirumoto pic looks plain great. Who wouldn't want to play that kind of bushi in L5R (Dragon Clan or otherwise)? :D I remember the Dragon crew actually mentioning they wanted to equalize the beefcake/cheesecake ratio a little with that cover, and I think it's pretty well done. :)...

If it's D&D or fantasy related...why not? I was pondering on opening a separate thread for exactly that purposes, asking posters to post links or images they like, as long as they are related to our hobby. Couldn't decide where to post it, though...in General, or in the Graphics forum. :lol:

Hey, stop sexifying Lux the Barbarian...you probably will offend somebody with it. :uhoh: Also, it's not like she needs it. :lol:

...which translates to stirge bites in D&D. Yep, I totally agree, can't have that kind of costume there! :lol:

Or like that? Look at all that skin being flashed around..okay, it's a greek illustration, they knew what drew the glances. :lol:

Hmm, too bad...then I'll simply claim the designers did it because they like the concept better and found it more "cool", and think they can sell it well enough to the new target audience because it doesn't have 30 years of "baggage" attached to it. ;) Sure is, from where I stand. If I like...

Uh-huh? Weird...from where I look, it's only the "vocal majority"...those that shout the loudest because they're unhappy with the current setup. But I'll gladly take a look at your WotC customer research notes. :) Never mind...taste and personal preference never make good arguments.
