[QUOTE="Djeta Thernadier, post: 1138113, member: 12043"] I certainly would not *not* buy something just because it doesn't have the D20 label on it, this book included, if it was a good role-playing supplement and interesting to me. I do hope that WOTC does not force destruction of all current stock, as that would be a terrible waste of both paper, but also of the time and effort put forth by the people who made this product before they were aware of any problem. If WoTC didn't want this book published, they should have forced them to stop production before the book was produced and money and time was spent. Whatever you think of the subject matter, some people did spend time and money putting this book together. WoTC have a right to decide what they want published under their name, however, if they are going to retroactively deem things indecent, how far back will it go? How many products will be taken off the shelves? As for Community Standards of decency...I shudder to think what this means. (See the the thread on banned books week...) But It is their right as a private company. I just think that it's silly. Are they trying to get away from the stereotype that D&D is violent, satanic and filled with scantily clad nymphs running around? Because, I honestly believe that the people who are THAT convinced that D&D is "dangerous for children" are going to think that, regardless of changing anything. I think that the very fact that the book is called "The Book of Erotic Fantasy" should be enough of an indicator to parents that this is an "adult" role playing supplement and that they should not purchase it for their minor. And adults can make the choice themselves, without a "community standard" making the choice for them. I think the vast majority of people who would be interested in this book are people who wish to incorporate more intimate relationships between characters in their games. Or people who have an interest in erotic writing and/ or art. I have an interest in both the genre and having these elements in my games. I am certainly not some sort of sleazy, creepy person who should be challenged for "indecency". *shrugs* what can you do? [/QUOTE]
