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

[kenjib]

On second thought - maybe you're right ArthurQ. It's not elf porn. It's elf, dwarf, gnome, half-orc, human, *and* goblin porn. Sorry for the mistake. Could everyone please stop saying elf porn and instead say elf, dwarf, gnome, half-orc, human, *and* goblin porn? I think we'll have lots less confusion in this thread then.

Buy it to "spite" WotC for their license changes?

Yeah right.

However you justify getting your jolly fix to yourself is fine, just don't hand me that bull!

No I won't be buying it. If I ever want to roleplay sexual scenario's it WON'T be with any of the fellows in my gaming groups, that is for damned sure!

And, I'll hide all the copies I see in My LGS' behind the Fast Forward books where NO ONE will ever find them... MUUUUUAAAHHHHHHHAAHHAHAH!!!

Yes I'm kidding... maybe.

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.

Oh, I agree with you 100%.

I was just using Arthur's term.

I may question the market savvyness of how WotC went about this change, but I totally support their intent as well their right to go about it, regardless of whether ANYONE agrees with them or not.

Sorry if I gave you the idea that I was actually calling them controlling.

My group can't reference the cleric spell, "Dictum" without snickering.

Elf Pr0n would kill us.

Yeah, I know what you mean. My group always snickers and makes joking comments whenever something could be interpreted in a naughty way. If I brought a book of elf porn to the sessions, we'd never get anything done!

No knee-jerk "I won't touch it with a 10-ft. pole" or "it's just what I need" reactions from me, just a "really, I have no use for it".

In the unlikely event I need rules for sex-related stuff, there's the GUCK.

 

[Tewligan]

(Sniff, sniff) Hmm, I think I smell a thread that's soon to be closed - people are getting a little testy over this, aren't they? Come on, guys, no need to take it personally if someone disagrees with you over the artistic merits or lack thereof of elf por...er, "erotica".

Oh, and to answer the poll question...No way am I buying this. I'm relieved to say that my d20 game doesn't require "doin' it" rules, and I doubt I'd play in a campaign that did. That's just ridiculous.

 

[JeffB]

OK ENOUGH!

STOP CALLING IT ELF PORN IT IS NOT ELF PORN! blah blah blah!

Issues....

I have a serious question. Why doesn't Nymphology, Naughty & Dice, or the GUCK get the same kind of moral outrage or giggling jokes applied to them as the Book of Erotic Fantasy?

elf, dwarf, gnome, half-orc, human, *and* goblin porn

Goblin porn? If I had money to waste, this would be enough for me to buy it.

Really, can you imagine porn pics photoshopped so that everyone looks like goblins? The mere thought is enough to explode in laughter.

And besides, I could have use for goblin porn. That way, I could describe the graffitis found on the dungeon walls.


On another note, I was amused by the previews: There's a magic item called the "Gnomish Kama-Sutra". This, young lads and ladies (ye old timers already know this, so you could skip it), is a reference to EN World. Back when the Book of Vile Darkness was still "Monte's Secret Project" and people were trying to guess what it would be, someone (sorry, forgot who) on these boards ventured that it was "either steampunk rules or a gnomish kama-sutra". Anthony Valterra, who was still Zulkir at this time, arrived and said that one of these two suppositions was "surprisingly close".

Obviously, he liked very much the gnomish kama-sutra idea.
