And another reason I hate the term "fluff" . . .

That's just a sign you need to get out of the house, return the pr0n to the dirty vid store, and go on a date or something.

Or buy the Book of Erotic Fantasy Role-Playing Game, available through White Wolf.

As for the OP, he just have a dirty thought. What's next? Change the name of the Warp Wood spell because it sounds torture for men?

Anyways. My point, and I do have one, is that anything can be taken as a sexual innuendo. If I struck every word that could taken as a sexual innuendo in some other contents from my vocabulary, I probably wouldn't be able to get through a Dick and Jane book.

Yeah on the other hand that's the only way I can possibly be persuaded to swallow "Gleemax."





As it were. *glances around*

Most people at Paizo and WotC hate the terms "crunch" and especially "fluff." We prefer "mechanics" and "flavor."

For what it's worth.

Those terms sound great to me. I never liked the term "fluff" because it implies that it is an otherwise useless and fattening extra. I've always referred to it as "flavor" anyhow.

To be honest, I prefer books loaded with "flavor" because I can get a lot of ideas from them for adventures and campaigns and the like.

I think we should change the term for munchkined out characters, or twinks.

I mean, granted:

Why abandon a term which has such an aptly analogous function?

Why don't we just change the name of adult film fluffers to something else? Corkfloppers or something.

I knew somebody once who worked at a Matress store & one of his duties was to make sure all the pillows got fixed after various people tested out mattress on the displays.

He was a professional Fluffer. Not the best thing to put on a resume. (Unless in So-Cal and the heart of Silicone Valley-not the micro-chips).

It's like those guys who worked the food industry, preparing fudge for shipping. Having to describe your job in roundabout ways to avoid today's derogatory terms is getting more of a problem every day.

I think "fluff" and "crunch" are both lazy excuses for atrophying writing skills, in much the same way that smilies are overused to imply emotional content.

IKWYM! :\

Huh huh! You said "innuendo." My mind had taken an unfortunate turn when I read that as a skill in the 3.0 PHB.

It just can't be helped. Sometimes the brain's gears just work that way. If you know what I mean.

Huh, so whenever you made one of those checks you told the tavern wench why you were called "sir lance-a-lot" or something like that?

"If you fail this check, the tavern wench will shake her head and just walk away. If you fail by 5 or more, you'll get a slap in the face. If you roll a 1, you'll get a knee in the groin"?

Yeah on the other hand that's the only way I can possibly be persuaded to swallow "Gleemax."

Isn't that for external use only? Keep the number of the local poison centre ready just in case.

So's texting and posting on messageboards without consideration for one's grammar (case in point, the rampant misspelling of "rogue" and "samurai").

*in place of a smiley, I shall describe to you that I am chuckling from ear-to-ear*

What is it someone doesn't like about a gaming product? "It's all fluff, not enough crunch." And what does that mean, exactly?

Too much non-mechanical information, too little mechanical information.

I suggest we use the Scandinavian-sounding "flööf" instead. I imagine it's like "flue" with an f on the end. It's much more fun to say.

A moose once bit my sister.
