[Poll]Will you buy and use AV's BoEF?

[barsoomcore]

Not that I have a business relationship with either barsoomcore or teflon billy....

No, our relationship is pure pleasure.

Wait, that's not what I meant.

Elf porn.

Heh

I thought meeting Joe was one of the high points of Gen Con. Smart guy, good author, good drinking companion.

Knew New Orleans enough that we could reminisce.

Definitely not my "type" though

Well, I definitely will buy it, since I've already pre-ordered. But I will pick and choose what I incorporate into my game.

Um... There are books out about PC's owning ships. Enworld has 2 books i think about inns and taverns and fairs, stuff about owning them should be in there.

"Should" be in there, or are in there? Hardly. As I said in my previous post, and shall repeat more clearly: there are no comprehensive merchant rules in d20 (a small blurb in Seas of Blood, while very much appreciated, is not useful)... and there are 3 sex-related d20 books. No wonder people think there are too many d20 books, and needs still aren't being met (another rant for another thread...!).

And in general, the great thing about d20/ogl is that you can create what you feel there is a void in.

You think a book should be written for those topics? Then write one.

Yeah, I'll get right on that. Sorry, d00d, I think not. I very much value my free time, and writing a d20 book sure as heck does not figure into that. That's what I pay others to do. (Why would I ask for certain books when I can write it all myself? What a silly suggestion.)

Despite the fact that the Sacred Prostitute is based on the real world Temple Prostitutes of the ancient world? They are know from Babylon, Egypt, Greece & Rome, amongst others. I only point this out because the PrC isn't just something made up, but, like many other classes/PrCs in the game, have real world origins.

Yes, they would give the "guh?" and leave (again, rightfully so) despite the fact that it's based on something from the "real world". Just because it's from the real world, doesn't mean it can't be considered creepy in a D&D RPG. And, like I said in my post above, my group would consider that creepy.

Heard that. There's creepy "Your character's brain has just turned into mushy goo" creepy, and then there's creepy "The DM is exposing himself" creepy.

NOT saying that anyone who buys and uses BOEF is therefore creepy. I haven't been super impressed with the previews (neither the art nor the rules), but I would have a look at it. The SUBJECT MATTER doesn't bother me and doesn't make it out of the realm of possibility for my group.

But then, we game across the street from an elf bar. I mean, a leather bar.

Mm, Galadriel in leather.

alright then, you value your free time more then the "demand" for a product you think should be on the market. Obviously noboby else has decided to release a comprehensive book detailing.

One of the GREAT things about d20/ogl is that just about anybody can release a book they think people will buy and belongs on the market.

Obviously 3 diffrent companies felt that a product detailing sex would sell better then one detailing merchant rules.

If you feel the community NEEDS a book with merchant rules then you have 2 options.

Option A. write one yourself, which you've already said you'd never do because you prefer other people to do the work for you. Thats fair enough. Thats why we HAVE a d20 market.

Option B. Wait for another d20/ogl company to write one, and/or suggest such a book to them. This looks like your best bet.

either way i guess the trend shows that companies disagree with you. Untill we see 4 books detailing merchant rules anyway.

Sitting and drinking with you, jason, and mark was one of our highlights as well. Hopefully we'll do it again next year. It's nice to talk to someone who understands how ..um... odd.. New Orleans can get after you've been there a while.
