[QUOTE="Razuur, post: 222097, member: 1997"] [b]On a more serious note...[/b] While I am sure that the Avalanche covers have attracted some to buy, they have actually had the opposite effect with me. I am a happily married man and I love the female form as much as the next guy. I don't mind an occassional scantily clad woman, much as I am sure that women don't mind an occassional scantily clad man. But avalanche takes it too far. Every cover seems to have to have pictures like that. It is almost like that is what they are selling. The cover. Even if I was interested in the product, taking that up to the counter for purchase will surely elicit the "hmmm, we know what this guys is buying them for." It also makes the setting book itself hard to take seriously. I mean if they need to do that to stand out to sell their product, rather than be known for their comprehensive and well written gaming stuff... Avalanche may put out some useful products, but I'll never know because I have never felt the urge to purchase one. Mongoose seems to feel the need to put at least one bare breasted filly in each of their supplements to. While it annoys me, their products are generally very good, and so I purchase them. But even then, it just has a "roll my eyes" effect. And I think "ahhh, there is the gratuitous boob shot for the teenage boys." Razuur [/QUOTE]
