Label it for adults, then the store owners won't be selling it to minors (and the parents can monitor their children for the publishing company as a last resort).I'm not worried about how this will reflect on the hobby. It's one book. A drop in the bucket. People who view the hobby in a dim light just because they want to aren't going to change their minds. To be honest, who needs the approval of people like that?The same goes for people who are worried about the approval of potential girlfriends/boyfriends/friends. If you don't use the book and they associate the book with your hobby, set them straight. Besides, if they know so little about the game that they'd use that line of thought, how the hell would they have heard about the book anyway?This gets my patented "Much Ado About Nothing" stamp.Would I use the book? Probably not. I can't see myself even roleplaying a romantic scene with my group and certainly not a sexual encounter. However, as a behind the scenes DM tool, it could be useful, but it would have to have a hell of a lot of crunchy rules. I don't know what the authors are going for, but everyone keeps dwelling on the sex. What about the biology, the ecology? D&D is full of halfbreed races, let's hear more about that. What are the long-term effects of using magic while pregnant (think Lady Jessica from Dune)? That kind of thing could make the book a very useful tool. Will it really turn out being that useful to the average group? Probably not, but until I see a copy of the book, I cannot say.This was a bit long-winded for a poll answer, but these are the things I take into consideration when the question is asked of me.</blockquote>
