DDI Character Visualizer to have bust slider

I think it makes sense to have a "bust slider", as shown by this example: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MostCommonSuperPower

Webcomic example: In Scott Kurtz's PvP, Jade complains that she can't make a super-heroine on NCSoft's City Of Heroes MMORPG without producing an avatar with a back-breaking pair of breasts. When Brent and Francis explain that this condition fits the genre, Jade retaliates by naming her character the Titillator with the battle-cry macro, "Eyes up here!"

* More recently, though, City Of Heroes has allowed bust sizes to range from petite to Russ Meyer. However, it is still not possible to make a truly flat-chested female character.

Not having a bust slider would probably result in generally top-heavy female characters.

I actually find Shelly's writing pretty humorous. *shrugs* I don't get what all the nerd rage is about. She reminds me of several girls I dated before I got married. And my wife has very similar tastes, although my wife doesn't game.

I also can't help but chuckle at Shelly's writing... My current campaign consists of My_Best_Friend_Since_Highschool, his wife, my wife and I (none of our wives gamed before they met us, of course)

Some of her remarks in past columns remind me of things said at our table... Both girls on the table seem to pick their armor and weapons looking for "the right look", rather than an optimized choice... So I (as the DM) have to bear in mind that the current Party Tank has decided not to wear anything heavier than a mithril breastplate... I had to design some magical "bracers of shield" to give her a shield bonus to AC <sigh>

...it was a joke. The humor comes from pointing out that men and women will likely choose to depict female characters in different ways, specifically, with different bust sizes.

That kind of requires the 'joke' to be funny for you to ruin it. Sexual segregation/stereotyping aside, there's still nothing funny about it... Unless you giggle like mad whenever there's the mention of breasts, in which case I can't say I share the same sense of "teheehee boobies" humor as you.

Well , if there's a bust slider for the women, there'd better be a crotch slider for the men, otherwise WOTC is just being sexist!

"Do you have a licence for those puppies?"




This is pathetic in my mind but I'm old and over the hill so whatever you youngsters want..... :uhoh:
