[QUOTE="NLP, post: 118742, member: 520"] Have you spent much time looking at historical art or looking into historical dress? If you had, you'd be surprised at how much nudity was involved in people's daily lives. It wasn't uncommon for women in ancient Greece, Egypt or Rome to go either topless or having one breast exposed. So having said that, there is plenty of reason to have nudity in a game book if you want to follow historical fact. I don't consider the pictures in the Mongoose books to be out of line or distasteful. No matter how much we either like it or don't like it, we do have to accept the fact that RPGs are primarily a male hobby, and as such will always mean that women will be somewhat objectified. This exists in every medium and is part of our culture. Go to the newstand and pick up a copy of a non-porno magazine. I'll bet there's a sexy woman on the cover. Turn on the television and I'll bet you see a sexy woman in the commercial that comes on. Sexual stimuli is part of our society so you might as well get use to it. Besides that, I still have fond memories of the old TSR succubus pic. That picture was something to giggle about when I was 10. I'm sure the Mongoose pics will be the same for today's younger games. :) [/QUOTE]
