Naked damsels in distress are a staple of the fantasy genre---naked babes being menaced by aliens, monsters, midgets, mad scientists and miscellaneous freaks have been used to sell just about every genre of fantastic fiction (sci-fi, mystery, horror, fantasy...) at one point or another. I for one, like looking at naked babes, whether in peril or "in control" of dangerous situations. As long as they're naked, or nearly so (or dressed provocatively, like 7 of 9). They excite me and make me want to play the game more. They should excite any other heterosexual male who looks at them. If they don't, then I would say that dude has more pressing problems than just disliking a particular image...  At the other end, why do you think women's romance novel covers objectify hunky, stripped down men? Sex sells, people, regardless of gender. I can't believe some of you want to impose your Politically Correct agenda on our hobby and kill off one of its sacred cows. Haven't you done enough damage with such radical thinking to the rest of our planet? RPGs are one of the few outlets left where you can be free to express yourself in a non-PC, fantasy environment. I don't want "PC" people in my real life, I don't want them in my fantasy game, and I certainly don't want them trying to dictate corporate policy among the RPG companies! RPGs are perhaps the last bastion of red-blooded he-man entertainment. Of course, the "he-men" are only the characters in the game... Sitting around the table are a fat, bearded, smelly guy who's never been kissed and a 98 pound weakling popping pimples and squinting through his glasses at the dice, trying to figure out if he rolled a "6" or a "9." <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
