[Devil’s Workshop] Abortion and D20?

Louis Porter Jr. Design, in association with Devil’s Workshop, announces the most controversial product to be released for D20 since the Book of Erotic Fantasy. The Choice and Blood sourcebook, written by up-and-coming superstar Chris Field, is a D20 Modern product that focuses on the Abortions and Abortion Clinic Culture from both sides of the Pro-Life and Pro-Choice positions. No issue in history has divided the United States people as much as the issue of legalized abortion. Here is information on this product:
CoverChoiceandBlood.jpg

On a quiet day, an abortion clinic is indistinguishable from any medical building. Some are lone, freestanding buildings; others are just another office in a professional building or cluster of medical suites. Many abortion clinics are freestanding by necessity, because of the religious beliefs of potential landlords, or simply out of fear that having a clinic on the premise of a medical complex would put other patients at risk. It’s not an unreasonable fear: hundreds of abortion clinics have been vandalized or firebombed since the mid 1980s.On protest days, the clinic becomes a battlefield. Pro-life protesters ring the clinic, chanting prayers, singing psalms, holding grotesque signs depicting dismembered fetuses.

Tactics range from peaceful protest and passive resistance to mob violence. Parents bring their true-believing children to prayer vigils, while elderly Catholic ladies pray the Rosary for the unborn. Handsome college age pro-lifers stage die-ins, falling to the street and playing dead to draw media attention and block traffic. Haggard reformers hand out pamphlets and attempt to convert passerby, while ‘sidewalk consolers’ scream at the women walking into the clinic not to kill their babies. Pro-choice counter demonstrators add to the noise and chaos. Attempting to drown out the pro-lifer’s slogans with high volume feminist chants, the unruly DMZ established around the clinic quickly becomes too noisy to hear anything quieter or a bullhorn or a police siren. Pro-choice volunteers, easily recognizable in brightly colored safety vests escort patients and their families through the crush of protesters.

This supplement has all new materials including:
• History of Abortion in America
• Protest tactics and strategies for Pro-Life and Pro-Choice supporters
• New Advanced Class: The Abortion Provider,
• New Intermediary Classes: Clinic Defender, Sidewalk Counselor, Blogger, Irregular and ER Intern,
• Campaign Styles: The Medical Campaign vs. the Abortion
• Nearly 20 new medical and political feats including Flash Mob, Medical Immortality, Reconstructive Surgery and Street Demonstration.

This 24 page PDF is just the sort of thing needed for GMs to add depth to any great d20 Modern campaign world, including Haven: City of Violence and Sanctuary: City of Secrets. Due to the extreme nature of this product it is for Mature Audiences only.

Choice and Blood is planned for release on January 22 on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the landmark judicial opinion regarding privacy and abortion in the United States.

[Edit by Morrus. This is getting boring. if I have to run around and change your links one more time, I'm going to ask you to stop posting your press rleases here completely. Again - you are required to use the EN World affiliate store in your links, not your own. Again - see the thread at the top of this forum for information. This is the last time I'm doing this.]

Wow, you're a far braver publisher than I.

I try to stick to safe stuff like cannibalism, torture, and the destruction of the immortal soul. You know, vanilla. :D

Is this actually a real product?
For all you who are asking, YES, THIS IS A REAL PRODUCT!

Maybe it's a clever way of aborting their d20 product line?
No. What is it, is handling a topic that is VERY INTERESTING and very topical and making a product based on it.

Well, we have already done a d20 modern product on serial killers, Mind of a Mad Man, that has been on sale for nearly 2 years and we just release another on torture for D20 Modern called Tell Me Now. This is one of the topics that you can not be neutral on and I think this sourcebook does a great job looking at BOTH sides of the subject.

Personal, I think that this is the best piece of work I have ever read from Chris Field. I am glad he had the guts to do a topic like this for a sourcebook. I hope he and other writers out there have the guts to do product like this.
 

I see a ton of .pdfs that would make great zine material, or decent reading at a fansite. I think this is a good example. It'd be a neat read for free, but not something I'd pay money for.

No offense, but since you have not read this product how can you say where it would be best handled? and for what price?
 

I'll admit, I'm intrigued, and I will probably check this out once it's released. But it's definitely one of those things that has to be handled very carefully. I really can't think of a more divisive issue, or one with more vocal and vehement supporters on both sides of the argument.

I doubt Morrus would allow it, but I would love to see a poll on the interest in this product.
