I agree that as a DM you have the right to determine what does and does not have a place in your game. I would therefore ask that because of that, you qualify your statement, "It's simply not something appropriate for a D&D game" by rephrasing it as "It's simply not something appropriate for my...

Good question. But I'd ask this one in return: are gamers more creative or intelligent than screenwriters, authors, scientists, artists, or historians, all of whom are non-gamers? Because a group tends to attract individuals with a certain creativeness/intelligence does not mean said group is...

Oh, god. That is soooo funny... I can just picture an elf in a white leisure suit, studded with rhinestones, shaking his hips and singing "Heartbreak Hotel"! :D hunter1828

How's life? Other than nearly chopping my finger off two weeks ago, life is freakin' awesome right now. My first history paper is going to be published next year, I'm doing some minor web work and moderating for a 3rd party d20 publisher, I'm getting plenty of overtime in my regular job and I...

When looking for new players I prefer they be over 18, or over 21 even. Not necessarily because I don't want to game with "kids", but because I and my players may have the occasional beer while playing, or the conversation/game might turn decidedly "mature". I just don't want anyone (including...

Depends on which campaign I'm running. The large one has always had "fade-to-black" sexual encounters and will continue to do so, even as I introduce spells, feats, core classes & PrCs from the upcoming Book of Erotic Fantasy into the game. The small game I run just for my wife is very...

Gamers aren't special, we're just people. Gamers aren't necessarily creative, I've known some very UNcreative gamers. Gamers aren't necessarily more intelligent, I've known gamers that were dumber than a box of rocks. If you asked a bunch of gamers to name hobbies/interests outside of gaming...

From various campaigns over the years: "Vorst for king!" "Grey, talk to the cat. It speaks elven." "I like weasals!" "Oh, joy...more undead." "HOLD!" "Dogs don't know it's not doppelganger!" "Tie a rope around me and throw me across the pit." "I told you he was a thief!" "I leap to...

grrr...strange double post...

I've been using the Star Wars Revised XP system for a while and it seems to be working well. hunter1828

Burnout sucks. I DMed on a very regular schedule from 1977 to 1987, then suffered horribly from burnout. I didn't pick up a single D&D book for the next 13 years. Luckily, I found a good group and we have had good, regular (but not too regular) games since then. hunter1828

Has anyone seen a review of Chains & Misery? hunter1828

All of the images in the BoEF are digitally manipulated, so they have been altered. Things have been added, subtracted, enhanced, disguised, etc. The final images we see for the BoEF are notHypnox's photos, they are photos shot by Hypnox then digitally changed by a host of talented photomanip...

:mad: It really bothers me when people assume any type of bondage play is vile and evil. Ever seen fuzzy handcuffs? Ever had a girlfriend/wife hold your hands behind your back? It can be done lightly, and doesn't have anything to do with violence, evil, vileness or wanting to hurt people...

The photos on Hypnox's web site and the photography he has done for the BoEF (at least those seen in previews so far) are so completely different. What he does for himself and others is not necessarily what he is doing for the BoEF. Also, bondage does not always mean women tied up. Bondage...

I can't help but wonder... would everyone upset about the art still be upset if, while the subject matter remained exactly the same, it had been painted by Brom instead of photographed by Hypnox? :confused: hunter1828

I'm sure one of the many reasons they didn't go with a photographer of her caliber is due to money issues...I bet Hypnox was a lot less expensive on a new company. hunter1828

By "that photography", do you mean the photography from Hypnox's personal web site or the photographic previews on the Valar Project web site? I ask because there is a heck of a lot of difference in the two (his personal stuff did abolutely nothing for me but I love the BoEF stuff). hunter1828

I think about the same number of people will purchase the BoEF as purchase the typical third-party d20 product. As for me, this will be the very first third-party d20 product I've ever purchased as no others have ever seemed interesting enough to warrant purchasing, and I've looked over quite a...
