Q. Rogue/Fighter Nudity?

[Kaptain_Kantrip]

Being excited by naked or provocatively dressed women makes you want to play D&D?

Now that's dedication.

LOL. Um, I meant if there weren't any REAL naked women available. D&D babes make a poor substitute, but I'll take whatever I can get it!

Dangerous way to think amigo. That's like that men for boy love organization claiming that if more adult men had sex with children that other people wouldn't see it as wrong. Decadence doesn't just sprint into being whole. It creeps in a steep at a time.

I'd love to know what kind of a sicko equates partial nudity with child molestation.

To Mongoose:

Please do not change how you do things or produce your products based on comittents you read here. I have found that when you start to be Politically Correct product suffers.

I for one (maybe the only one) find your line to be helpful, refreshing and enjoyable. I have not noticed anything offensive, or wrong with your art used or your product.

I think I need to change what grocery store I go to.

There are real life outfits that let you see a lady's nipples, and they are worn to go grocery shopping.

Actually Ashcroft was upset because photographers kept taking pictures at a certain angle that lined up that tit with the top of his head. So here he is trying to give a serious press conference and what picture is on the front page of the newspaper?

Yep, Mr John "Tit-head" Ashcroft.

BTW, no one is to assume they know my stance on this topic based on this post. I am ONLY trying to get the facts out.

I don't really care about the whole "nipples-in-RPG-products" debate (I think the whole argument is silly - art creates mood and if the company wants a mood that includes bared breasts, so be it). rather, it just reminded me of an interesting thing i read in this month's Playboy: The Justice Department spent $8000 on a set of custom cutains whith which to hide the stature of Silent Justice (I think that is the name of the statue) because John Ashcroft was ofended by her one bared breast. this is a man who holds one of the highest offices in the executive branch of the US Government. He is married with kids and well into his "goilden years". yet, he can't manage to be in the same room with a *statue* of a naked woman.

There is something very wrong with american morals.

Salutations,

Personally- outside of pics of new monsters and perhaps confusing rooms in adventures, I think most interior art is a waste of space entirely. Additional text would be more useful to my game then a picture of a woman - nude or clothed.

That really depends. Planescape would not have been the same without T.D's illustrations. Planescape is good, but even if it wasn't I'd probably still love it because of the feel I get from looking at the pictures.

That's the WORST euphemism for ... oh, never mind.

Well, ok, I feel the same way about Playboy. It simply wouldn't have been the same without the pictures.

I personally have no problem with the art Mongoose has in their books. My only concern is that our enemies could use it as fuel against us. Imagine if you’re a fourteen year-old kid and you left the book out and your mother saw it and flipped through it and saw ‘half-naked’ topless women. Or the religious fanatics who think we are all devil worshipers. I fear that having books out with that type of art would reflect negatively on our credibility (what damn little we have).
