Ok, this just seems kind of odd to me. I realize my post is going to probably offend some people. I apologize ahead of time. I tend to come across as arrogant, but I guess that's just how I am. I simply say what I'm thinking. I don't have all that much tact. So, if I offend anyone with this.. I do sincerely apologize.

Don't get me wrong, if that's your cup of tea then great, enjoy yourselves. It just seems kind of, well, lame.

I've always looked at Dungeons and Dragons as a game of Adventure. Sexual activity was always assumed to happen, it never really needed to be RP'd out. It seems kind of out of place (at least to me) to be going on a dungeon crawl, for example, and, in the midst of all the dangers that accompany such a journey, OH MY! The characters need to have sex to replenish their spell abilities!!

I just don't see what the point is behind writing this particular book. Ok you think the game needs more sexuality and mature content. Great! But can't all of this be handled "behind the scenes?" I mean not everyone is going to play this type of character in a given session, so what do the other players do while the "sex" characters (for lack of a better description) do their tantric thing...

I'm reminded of Shadowrun game sessions I used to play in where the guy who played the Decker began his matrix run and everyone else cleared out because they knew that it was gonna take all night. I wonder if that is (in general) the sort of thing people can expect with these types of characters.

I'm sorry, but I just don't see how this type of thing fits into the game.

Again, if I offended anyone. I do apologize.

Wow, I can hear the moderators coming now to lock down the thread. You pushed it over the line with that one.

 

[Urizen]

yeah, probably.

Like I said, I have no tact.

<<Conversation between Ralan, the Studly 1st level tantric mage and Gorm, his Dwarven friend.>>>

Ralan: Please Gorm, I need to learn this new Tantric spell from Tilyana, but she won't sleep with me unless her Chamber maid, Grushna (a Half orc) gets some too..

Gorm: Ye must be crazy... I ain't goin' anywhere near that!!

Ralan: Come on man, Take one for the Team

Urizen, welcome to the boards. If you wish to post here, you need to abide by the rules. Please read the FAQ and the summary at the top of every forum. Your post just now wasn't even remotely appropriate.

You see, it doesn't matter how many times you apologize in advance. Next time you're tempted to post something that would offend Morrus' or Eric's grandmother - don't. It's that simple. And no discussion of how you "have no tact" excuses you from obeying this guideline.

If this is somehow a problem for you, please email me.

 

[Urizen]

I understand, and in the future I will be sure to abide by the rules I just broke with that post.

 

[Wayside]

yeah, probably.

Like I said, I have no tact.

There's a difference between having no tact and being willfully tactless. I'd think any fan of Blake capable of making such a distinction.

Thanks! Now go have fun.

You're right. I was willfully tactless, but I happen to like freedom of speech. I have a habit of posting my what I'm thinking un-edited.

A person simply can't preface a post with "And I know this is going to offend some people" and not know those words should probably be left un-posted. So in that sense I am guilty.

I did apologize repeatedly, as my true intention was not to offend but rather to clearly state my opinions on this subject.

Again, in the future I will make every effort to curb my tendancies to say exactly what I'm thinking.

How about just leaving it to the imagination?

Edit: We're not exactly sounding mature are we? More like the giggling highschoolers we've been slamming for the last few pages...

You forgot the Oil of Slipperyness.

I apologize in advance but it was too inviting to pass it up.

Saying what you're thinking is generally fine, as long as you think long and hard about how to phrase it right. The concepts remain intact, but the tone and terminology that are used change. It's a useful skill in real life and on the boards.
