Book of Erotic Fantasy previewed at GenCon

[kenjib]

Anytime you buy a T-Shirt or a hat with a logo for a company on it, you are paying them to allow you to advertise for them. You are buying their advertisement. Is this any different?

Dumb or not, I am pleased with my purchase.

Hey, sorry about the "dumb" comment. That was rather rude of me and I apologize if I offended anyone. In any case, I try not to buy clothing with conspicuous logos on it and never wear clothing with blantant ads (like half the stuff at Old Navy).

 

[InzeladunMaster]

No problem. I get annoyed when I hear people complaining about something they neither purchased nor really gave a thorough examination. It reminds me of religious nuts who condemn D&D despite not having bought it, played it, or really looked at it.

Now, if someone spent his or her $10 and thereafter felt he or she wasted the money, then that person has a valid complaint.

If a person chose not to spend his money on the product, then that person has nothing to complain about.

A lot of people spend a lot of money on things I feel are dumb; to those people, those things are not dumb.

A lot of people would consider the amount of money some gamers spend on d20 books to be dumb...

Anyway, I got my money's worth. I will probably use more of the material in that preview during my games in the next two or three months than some full-blown finished products that I spent far more money on in the next year.

I felt like I got value for my $10. It had usable prestige classes, feats, spells, and monsters. And one of the authors autographed it for me.

What are the names of the classes / prestige classes? Monsters? I took a quick look at the Valar site for some preview material and found the Fallen Seraphim interesting.

Since the book says it requires the DnD PHB on the front, does anybody think it will cause the kind of controversy that BoVD caused, or worse?

It's already caused all the controversy the BoVD ever did - the usual suspects come out of the woodwork and pronounce the sky to be falling based off of rumors and half-truths, and then, surprisingly, the sky never falls.

There were quite a few a couple months ago when the book was announced. This is just the sequel discussion

Although I have not seen this product, I am not totally clueless, I have gone to both the website product preview and the 'photographer's' website. I am glad you got your money's worth. Just seems like something most people won't buy. If a person decides not to buy something they have no right to say that thing is tacky or tasteless? So, only remorseful buyers may have a negative opinion? Interesting.

Just like that new setting nobody has seen, but everyone has an opinion of. Already garnering more controversy than either the Book of Mild Dorkness or the Book of Nekkid Half-Orc Chicks. Just because people dislike something you like, doesn't mean they are all goody two-shoes and you are the super cool morally depraved one. However, as cheesy as the BoVD was, from the websites provided, the BoEF isn't even in the same ballpark, that photography ranges from unintentionally humorous to plain tasteless. That is a little more information than the new setting that everyone has an opinion on with much less support.

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 few.
