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

[BrooklynKnight]

OK ENOUGH!

STOP CALLING IT ELF PORN IT IS NOT ELF PORN!

Have any of you been to an erotica gallery? Or a Fetish site?

The photographs are tastefull and artistic! Its not porn! For instance there are no money shots or full frontals. There are no spread leg shots or anything of the sort.

STOP. I've had it up to here with the Elf Pr0n bull. You KNOW thats not what it is. The art previews and the mechanics previews are up for the public to see.

Stop making uninformed comments, stop making lewd jokes. The book is ment for people who can take it with a grain of salt and with a respect for whats inside. Its not a joke.

You dont wanna buy it? Fine, dont.
You dont wanna use it? Fine, dont.
You dont wanna play in a game that utilizes it? Fine, dont.

But I'm asking you, from one gamer to another, from one adult, to many (and the scores of adolesents here), stop calling it elf porn. Thats not what it is! Period!

. . . stop calling it elf porn. Thats not what it is! Period!

Okay, I'll concede you that point.

There may be a dwarf in there somewhere.

Settle down Beavis...I'll call it what I want, particularly if I find the commentary funny. Barsoomcore's comment was pretty obviously meant as comedy, as was my reference to that comment.

I'll decide for myself what's Porn and what isn't.

I will do so on a case-by-case basis.

I will admit that such decisions are subjective and only apply to me as they are simply opinions. You should look into taking the same stance.

For instance there are no money shots or full frontals. There are no spread leg shots or anything of the sort.

So what your saying is it's softcore porn then?

STOP. I've had it up to here with the Elf Pr0n bull. You KNOW thats not what it is. The art previews and the mechanics previews are up for the public to see.

I've seen them.

Stop making uninformed comments,

See above. My comments aren't uninformed, they are a lighthearted treatment of the subject matter at hand.

stop making lewd jokes.

No

The book is ment for people who can take it with a grain of salt and with a respect for whats inside. Its not a joke.

Are you sure you should be lecturing anyone on the merits of taking anything with a grain of salt?

If I find something funny, silly or goofy (like, say, erotic game mechanics), I will treat it with humour. I will not speculate why someone would come out swinging about my treatment of a gaming supplement. What is it you are looking for? Awe? Reverence?

Look elsewhere. I won't waste awe or reverence on elf-porn.

You dont wanna buy it? Fine, dont.

Gee...thank goodness I have permission now.

You dont wanna use it? Fine, dont.

That's a load off my mind.

You dont wanna play in a game that utilizes it? Fine, dont.

*whew*

But I'm asking you, from one gamer to another, from one adult, to many (and the scores of adolesents here), stop calling it elf porn. Thats not what it is! Period!

OK, starting now I'll use the terminology I likely should've been using all along: D20 Softcore BDSM.

And don't lecture me.

Its not any type of porn at all!

Hey ArthurQ,

I hear WotC is looking to hire some more controlling types to help determine what other folks should be allowed to put in writing. You may be a good fit.

 

[jgbrowning]

Not for me. And TB: you've got one heck of a case of "teh funny."

The problem with the new license is that the descriptions are vauge enough to mean that if someone at WotC doesn't like your product, they can decide to revoke the license.

Exactly. WOTC has sensible recognized that they need that kind of discretion because they cannot predict all future possible abuses of their license. So, sensibly, they have given themselves some leeway to deal with the unexpected.

Further, there is no limit on this in regards to time or any method by which they will review and approve the product. I can't see why a third party company would take the risk in using that license.

Unless there is abuse of this provision, I don't see why a licensee should be worried. There is no record of abuse so I don't understand why there would be this level of fear.

WOTC has no interest in controlling anything that isn't done in their name. The idea that there is something wrong or sinister about regulating what is done in one's name just seems a little off.
