[QUOTE="Aldarc, post: 7772015, member: 5142"] Agreed. There is most definitely a reason why this supplement keeps showing up in many Numenera bundles, box sets, etc. This supplement has received a tremendous amount of positive feedback from setting fans regarding its blunt openness and mature discussion about a topic that often gets relegated to hushed tones, comedic giggles, or engaged in a roundabout, oblique manner in most RPG books. And the author of this article cogently conveys those contributions along such lines made by the supplement. That alone makes it a breath of fresh air and a standout work, especially given its relatively small page count and low price. Love and Sex in the Ninth World is not so much a definitive piece on the titular subject matter, but, rather, it serves as a conversation starter, an invitation for GMs and players to consider the game world implications of how the fantastical posthumanism and science-fantasy of the Ninth World could potentially affect perceived norms surrounding love, sexuality, gender, familial relations, etc. and how to introduce these topics in a mature manner. In short, it highlights how conventional notions of "love and sex" are so easily deconstructed by the fiction inherent in a setting. The reviewer is quite correct in their observation that this insight the book provides on the matter could (and perhaps [I]should[/I]) be easily applied to other game settings as well. [/QUOTE]
